I've dealt with Joe, he is very good. He has turned out some fast *** LSx stuff, and of course his Viper stuff. He has a very good rep, can't go wrong.

I had the car tuned by joe. The light throttle is way better feeling. WOT down shifts are down right scary though. It really feels like its going to break something. LOL. I kind of want to back that off a bit. I dont know if theres different setting for downshift and upshift firmness or whatever its called, but it barked the tires at a WOT mash at about 65 a few days ago.

Im going to be at the Midnight Madness on the 16th I think is the day. Hes supposed to be there to help me hone in the trans tune. We couldnt get much done with it at his shop because it was raining with tons of traffic.
