All the installs me and Ken have done over the last few years have had the tuning done by Mike @ VRD.

Nuff' said.

We are not better because we are a sponsor. We simply choose to support our community by sponsoring these forums, showing up at races with an empty car trailer/tools/water etc etc.... We SPECIALIZE in Gen III/IV Performance.

You are correct to say LWA has been around for over 20 yrs. That shows they are doing something right.... We have been doing this for 7 years so obviously we are doing something right as well As for Robs tuning being second to none, I have read some of his programs and I have several people who will tell you flat out they are not happy with what he did to their car. On that note, Im sure Rob has tuned a few cars Mike tuned back in the day that were not dead on... Thats just how it goes ....

Matt said it best, best of luck to all performance shops. As long as they are honest and provide good service before/during/after the sale thats what matters most!!!!

Where else can you go and get your new LS based engine machine work done ,assembled,installed and tuned on a dyno, all in the same place, without having some of it subbed out. That is the main reason they are building my blower motor, because other performance shop's in the area was charging 10-15% more on top of the price for the machine work, because it was sent out.I'd rather save that money and apply it somewhere else.
But VRD is a sponsor, so I guess they are better.

How did I miss this one??? Vengeance rebuilt and repaired every single one of LWA's screw ups on my 02 ZL1. In 3 and one half years LWA could NOT make my C5R ProCharged 427 run. It went back to them 4 (YES FOUR) times. Even after all that when it left for the final time the tune up was off the charts!!

If LWA can tune an LS series engine why after having spent over $78,000 with them didn't they tune mine? There were numerous other problems that were NEVER resolved but we will save that for another day.

Stray from Mike and Ron at your own peril!!

The mental image of Ron giving a lap dance is just wrong....
....but then he has been known to do "odd" jobs on the side to support his dark dirty "habbits", so I suppose it is possible

The thought of Mike C. or Ron dancing period is disturbing. I can see either turning a wrench or making me a sammich!! Nothing else.

If Ron or Mike read this they know I'm kidding. These are two of the finest individuals you will ever meet. Honest. Hard working. All that crap. I'm gonna need a favor real soon too.
