I have heard that he was the best, and I am thinking about taking my car to him for a dyno tune. Just wondering what you guys and gals thought. Let me know some pros and cons if any. Thanks in advance.

i live here in tulsa with him. Havent had my car tuned yet but one of my best friends put the LT4 hotcam kit and ported everything in his LT1 and ED put 380 on it. Thats good for stock heads and a mild cam. Everyone around here gets there cars done from him. He's bad ***, like he said, if he cant make it work, it wont

Yeah he is pretty good.
One of Eds tunes has been in my car since 97 or 98 and I drove down and had him fix me up when I put the 3.73s in.

My car with just a mac catback and K&N CAI and Eds tune put down 278 RWHP and 310 RWTQ.

Actually, his dyno tune is $550. The mail order tune is $350. I am going to have my car dyno'd again by him. He's grumpy sometimes, but he will tune it right.
