Default ED WRIGHT!!!!!! Genius!!!

Ok guys here is the reason for this post.... I have a 05 cts-v with stock ported heads,233/239 cam, kooks long tubes, true duals, ported fast 90 intake, nick Williams 100mm tb, k&n cai, and more.... the car was first tuned by ****** which was ok until I wrecked my car and had to buy a new PCM. After I received the new PCM I went to back and had them reflash my tune into the new PCM and every since the reflash my car has never been the same it would rev up to 4k rpm on it own and pop and backfire. I called them to see if they would look into my tune and see if there were any problems Please. I made some scans using hptuners and emailed to them and they made a few change but just made it worse. I called and told them it was worse and they told me that it was on my part aka vacuum leak. I had a smoke test done and it showed no leaks. I called them and told them the outcome and they said sorry because the tune I fine.

I then had a good friend tell me to call ED Wright out of Tulsa, OK, this friend said that if he cant fix the issue no one can. I then called up ED and he got me in for an appointment the next day.

I arrived at Ed' place and he got right on it. He asked me to start the car and right away he says the tune is off!!!!! He then hooked up his laptop with hi tuning software and went to work and in a few hours he said let go try this out. I could tell from the first start that the car was way better. Now he says lets go for a drive and see if you like the way it is. Bam I loved it the car feels even stronger all across the board. He also informed me that there were a lot of things that the first tuner should've done.

SO THIS IS A BIG THANKS TO ED WRIGHT BY FAR THE BEST!!!!!!!

^^^ That's what im getting at is that the first person that tuned the car had no idea what he was doing and ED made the car come to life. I don't want to put that company down but I will never take anything back to them!

Ed was tuning cars before most of you were in diapers. He is one of the pioneers of modern day tuning. He has one of the world fastest lt1 cars and holds many national records for racing.

Tuning is an art. There is a big name speed shop around me that does shitty tunes and people always have to go somewhere else to get a retune after they realize the mistake that's been made.

They used Ed Wright on the power block a couple of times. He does some great work from what I have heard, both at his place or by email.

Ed Wright, how would any get into contact with Mr Ed Wright?

I might be looking at the wrong person to tune my car, because I can't even get Jeremy Formato or anyone at Fasterproms to send me an email letting me know that they received my $275 paypal payment and email file! A little customer service goes a long way.

However, they did reply really quick asking for $275..........
