Default LS1 Power Tuning

The search isnt working so I'll just ask. Has anyone ever had their car tuned here? They are located in Charleston and they look like a pretty good shop. Also, has anyone ever had their car tuned at Hawks Third Gen?

Lorenz (the tuner) has done a bunch of cars around here and from what I've seen is damn good. Spends lots of time on drivability.....which is just as important as the almighty dyno number. I have HPTuners but have gotten up with him to hook up the wideband a couple times. Good guy to deal with.

You can get some feedback on him at www.fastgm.com

I was wondering. He's good I know that but since he came to CPR I have'nt heard anything about him tuning anybody in Columbia and I know guys from Charleston come to see him for tuning at CPR. It has something to do with them not liking a shop or the guy that does tuning down there but there mostly fords.

Any idea who "the tuning guy" is? I know Lorenz doesn't do Ford.......so I'm going to guess it's not him. Haven't heard any complaints yet.
