When Brian still lived in the Lehigh Valley I went to his house and he tuned my car for me. Really knows his stuff, and a cool dude. Sometimes a little hard to get in touch with but probably due to being busy. I reccomend him.

I have had a couple things checked out with my car. He is a great guy and he stands behind his work. I would highly recomend him to do any tuning. That, and I like drooling over his wifes vette when I go over there, lol.

If I had my choice I would go back in time and go with them. I used another guy and its WAYYY on the safe side and throwing rich codes...

Throwing it on the dyno soon to get tuned.

I've worked with Alvin and he too is awesome, their tune felt like an extra 20.

Also they use a piggyback chip which on my Lt1 means I dont have to be stranded when they reburn stuff for me.

I got a mail order tune from Bryan for my CC305 and ported head setup and the car ran great. About a year later I had a chance for Alvin to dyno tune my car in Kansas City, so I took the drive. He was able to squeeze 5 more HP and about 10ft/lb of TQ out of my car. Granted my setup was very common, like the hotcam so I'm sure they had the mail order tune near perfected. Alvin was very cool and a smart guy. Definetly recomend them.

Bryan tuned my hot cam set up perfect. My new setup is way off it runs super lean to where the dyno shop shut it down on the dyno. It keeps throwing MAP codes also retards timing in the upper rpm's. I have spoken with Bryan and he said if I send him the dyno sheet he'll take care off it.

Avin put a baseline on my car, seems to be "ok". But then again its only a baseline.

I will Further use them until my 94 PCM swap is finished.
