Default speed secrets!

Wanna let every one know the awesome job Ellis did. Took my car to his shop today to get a road tune for my car(mods in sig ). He had idel squared away in a few minutes then we went for a few drives starting with doing a SD map the a Maf map. Got it set pretty quick. Then at the end came the WOT test. Car pulls a lot harder at a nice 12.6 AFR. drivibility is great for a big cam. Just sat in Bellevue rush hour traffic with no issues and no more CEL.
Thanks again Ellis for the awesome job

Ellis definately knows his ****. He helped me out when I was bringing up my blackbird, and has fixed some other cars for us.

That sucks. He can fix that too. If I was down there he'd be the only one besides me to work on my cars.

Yeah he's a very knowledgeable Guy off I could afford the labor he'd be doing stuff to my car but since I'm a tech that would be throwing money away lol

Yeah that makes sense. Up here we have no choice but doing things ourselves. There are only a couple of people that know much about ls stuff and no tuners or performance shops.

Yep, in Snohomish, he shares it with some other guys. He works on other makes also. He just fixed some issues my brother's 96 mystic cobra had a couple of weeks ago.

hey guys i tried to call Ellis the other day, and all i got was voicemail...do you guys have another way or different number to contact him at? also i live 2 hours away so i was hoping i could send my computer up there for a base tune so it would be drivable enough to get it done there. i was also hopin he could port match my FAST intake to my new heads, heard he does great work. any comments on him? also does he have a website?

thanks

does their shop do y-pipes too, or at least modify them? i am having clearance issues with my QTP y-pipe in the drivers side and it is always leaking cause of a crappy fit. so i need a new header to merge pipe elbow bend or just a new drivers side pipe, maybe even a little flattened out like pat-g did.

Technically he has the shop at his house (his original shop), and the one behind the Burger King in Snohomish. I've been there tons of times, and had quite a bit of work done. GREAT guy! He works on LSx, LTx, 3rd gen TPI setups, and has done some newer mustang stuff, too.

Stop on by, he is almost always able to bs and show you around. His shop seems to always have more potential horsepower in it the entire nearby Bickford Ford dealership! lol

Might as well give me a PM and we can meet there next week- I gotta talk to him about my nitrous install.
