Thumbs up Finally, a Tune That Works

Big Props to Masport Speed of Boca Raton. After 8 months and about a grand on wanna be tuners (None R Sponsers Here). I finally found one dude that knows his ****! In two hours and 3 pulls on his mustang Dyno, the owner Dan, found and pulled 40+ rwhp out of my 98 SS. This guy is a freakin genius. Highly recomended to anyone in Miami, Broward or WPB.

He has a mid 230s camshaft, upgraded Walbro fuel pump, Corsa cat back exhaust, and that is about it.
At the time of this tune he is referring to, he had a lid and a stock t stat.
We have since added an 85mm MAF, K&N FIPK, and 160 t stat.

I can tell you from first hand experience that Gary's car is truly one of the nicest SS camaros in South Florida, inside and out.

There were timing and idle issues that Dan had to sort through, but at the end of the night, the car sounded and ran great.

The car is currently back at our shop getting a few new goodies and a new tune.

If anyone needs any tuning or performance upgrades done, give us a call. We specialize in Corvettes, F body's, and Ford cars and trucks. Anyone is welcomed to come by and just chat if you'd like and check out the place.

Gary, thanks for the shout brother! You're car is going to be SICK.

Always good to hear about another tuner in Florida that can get it done. Kudos on what sounds like it will be a sick ride...
