After doing an engine swap (stock for stock) I wanted to get my car tuned. I called up Doug Rippie Motorsports as it's not very far from my place here in the Twin Cities (Minnesota). Doug did a great job and was very helpful when we had a couple mishaps during the tuning. The support he and his staff gave me was really unbelievible. I've never met anyone so willing to help.
Just so I don't get him in trouble with his insurance company, I'm not going to go into any details as to how far he went out of his way to help me. I can tell you this, however, it was by far the most hospitable treatment I've ever been given. I would HIGHLY recommend DRM to anyone in the area!
BTW, I ended up making 323rwhp/332rwtq (uncorrected) in my '00 M6 Z28 with an LS6 intake, free mods, LS7 clutch, aluminum flywheel, Pacesetter LT's and ORY on an 88* day with high humidity. I am really glad I decided to get the tune. Our baseline was 240rwhp due to an extreme lean condition I was unaware of.

Toneloc.......can't believe I missed you around the shop up at Doug's. I hung out there quite a bit in the last 2 years and Doug and his boys are awesome. Old man Rippe will definately go that extra mile for ya, I know he has for me. Randall ain't to shabby either but he hangs out with all those stiffs on the Corvette Forum! Learned alot of good info from Doug too.
