A tune truly makes the car.

I have a full Bolt-on C5 that I just installed a cam in. I made the 4 hour drive to Shortunings shop for a complete dyno tune. My car has a 226/236 on a 110lsa cam that was a pain to drive. It surged and bucked and done all kinds of crazy stuff.
6 hours later : My car drives almost as tame as stock. It is a pleasure to drive again and it pulls harder than I'd ever imagined a cam swap car pulling.

I just wanted to give James@ShorTuning a shout out and thank him for giving me back my car.

For anyone looking for a good and very thorough tuner James is the man to see in Ky (and I don't even live in Ky). I can't say enough good about him. He made me and my wife feel right at home and treated us like we were old friends. Besides its not everyday you get to see world record setting vettes in your tuners parking lot. But it seems to be a common occurrence at ShorTuning.

Thanks again James

Thanks buddy! It was good meeting you and your wife. I'm glad your car is doing good! I really liked that cam choice as its a mix of everything but most of all it still drives very well. If you guys need anything let me know.
