Default HPE tunning

We have the latest dyno software and new dyno jet widebands. We give you the print out of HP, TQ, and A/F ratio on each sheet. I use the wideband to tune, I do things much differently than Chuck use to do. Driveability and power is the goal for our tunning. Having a fast car that stalls all the time is no fun at all.

Damn straight. Was my first tuning experience, and to top it all off, a day later my trans blew sky high. Not gonna put that one on ol' Moby, but the facts are, with the same 60 foot, with boltons and a 230/236 cam and Chuck's tune, the car went 12.50 @ 109, and once the Stang shop adjusted the horrible AF ratio and lack of timing, etc, the car went 12.13 @ 114 the next time out in comparable weather, no less. To me, that speaks volumes. And when a guy tells me he can tell how the car's running, and what it likes by the way it smells, and that tuners that use a wideband really don't know what they're doing, and he uses skill and knowledge....LoL. I think I've said enough. Bottom line: Take your car to G-Force, LMR, or the new guy at HPE. Stay away from CraigsList/Myspace Chuck.

Owen tuned my buddies LT1 and only got 4 more rwhp. I wasn't impressed at all with this guy.

I've been up at ARD for a number of dyno sessions that Owen has done. People always leave happy. I am sure he would make it right if they weren't. I'm not sure what more you could ask for.

I've seen a number of tunes done by various shops. Some places you really are not getting what you paid for...

Owen from Ard.. is very good with these LS1 cars/trucks.. I have personally seen him make more horsepower over somebody else's tune.

I am very impressed with the shop and the quick turnaround time with the transmissions they do...

If you guy's have any issues with your current tune on your car.. don't hesitate to bring it to Ard.... Owen will fix the problem and make more Hp's on top of that.

Not to mention.. here is a shop owner who has his own personal car(s) that are fast.

Owen, Jay and Kerry and top notch in my book..
