HadTad tuning George is doing great at Turbonetics from what I hear. He is a great tuner and the quality of his work is top notch.
I was pleasantly surprised when I heard Tad was tuning my car.
I know tad from back in the LT(x) days and I know he is a stickler for perfection and knows his stuff inside and out.
The tune on my car is spot on, i gained about 40hp overall... I am stoaked!

Hi all,
Congrats Troy.
Confirmed:
I used to work at Race-Prep it was a great shop that was mis understood
I have high standards for my own work
Been tuning for money and love for 8+ years
I work at Haddad Motor Sports 3-4 days a week
I have my own customers seperate from HMS as well
I have worked with George Laura and he is a very good tuner
Un Confirmed
final word on George Laura should come from Mike Haddad himslef, it is his shop
if you have an Impala or LT1 powered car I may know what to do with it
you may be mistaken if you think you can get around cones faster than I can in my B-body

On skinnies. and how many days of dyno time 
It was def. up there with some of the good ones, like mine 
I noticed its under major reconstruction as well 
In fact I almost bought his car, he wanted a bit much for it though

1 day of dyno time
and we would review his datalogs after he had been to the track
I could have got more if he had a wideband at the track
but ya do what ya can
He could not finish the car as he is taking Mad Units at a big $chool.
That thing sure hooks.
The exhaust work was top notch and converter build perfect!
A real winner for the investment.

i have not seen any of Tad's work, but i have seen some of George lara's work, and i have to admit, his tunes seem very spot on IMO, even a certian twin turbo camaro that came in had a very decent 2 bar tune in it, all i had to do a rescale the injectors for 60lbers and do some simple ve adjustments and the car ran pretty good. i think if anyone was to pick Me, Haddad (george lara or tad) for tuning i think they made a right move IMO, that is just my two cents

Thats very stand-up for you to say. I have to admit, I had a tough decision to make when i got my tune as Ive heard good about both shops, but too many of my close friends went to HMS and that was the final factor. If i had to do it over again, id go back to HMS or I would go to CMS, both seem like great options.
the dynotune I got at CMS really woke up my stock car. no more surging either
