It says that one of their professionals will "squeeze every ounce of HP possible out of your car"

Well I went there to get my Bottle filled and I asked the store manager about my MSD Window switch box, I asked which wires do i need to cut for it to work with a LS1 and he had no idea so he went to the back to ask a Tech and he didnt have a clue either???? Well come to find out you cut the Blue & Red wire to put it into 4cyl mode for it to work, Thanx Speedtek for not knowing Jack but they might do good tunes, I dont know???

Make sure you have an appointment and check with them right before you go again. I have been there twice to dyno my car, called them to make sure the dyno was open.. they said yes, drove there and got turned down... come to find out after the 20+ mile drive they could not dyno my car. Just a little annoying because a dyno takes about 30 minutes at the most and they could not fit it in. Just my .02.

^^^^^Yep....I was with Ahlcobra twice when he went up there to dyno his car. He even called first. He got there, and they said nope.

On top of that, the guys I saw him talking too were rude.................and they had a funny smell.
