This reminds me of CXI off of highway 6 about a decade ago.

chuck tuned my cammed ls1 back in '07 and it put down 309/333, he said it was typical numbers for an auto. the throttle body was only opening 2/3's of the way. he tuned mine and my buddys car in about 45 minutes.

In all fairness Chuck tuned my car over the summer and it's not bad. As I posted previously, I've been planning on going and getting a retune from G-force just because. I DO have a few small problems with the tune, but nothing like what I've heard other people say.

im sure he know how to "tune" but apparently he is an "expert" copy / paster. A real tune, a GOOD tune is not done in less than 45 mins.

All fairness, I have had three different tunes by Chuck on three different cars and they have all been very stable, idled great, and no issues. Last one made 460 rwhp in my Z06 with stock heads p/p, ltb, orx, and 233/239 598/608 112lsa cam. I thought that was respectable.

Different strokes for different folks.

OP, that really sucks he had the ***** to straight out **** you like that before locking the doors. What in the hell was he thinking when he took your money knowing he was just going to pocket the money and never order your cam. What sucks is if you take him to court you will get nothing because the company is no longer in business. Hopefully someone he fucked will serve him a little street justice!

Good Luck with LMR, they are some good people and will get you pointed in the right direction.

Just looks a little rich. My first engine would blow fire out when full throttle during shifts. A guy on a crotch rocket told me. Somehow next day #7 piston ripped apart up into the intake. Gotta love 14.1 compression with pump gas.

I leased a dyno to CXI 11 years ago. He stole it and sold it! I know he got locked up for that!
