Not uncommon. It's part of the game.

LOL that's an understatement. Car was getting buttoned up for tuning and meth started leaking. Gotta pull the fender off and figure that out now....

Likely an easy fix......

When Matt was at ECS, he tuned my 07 manual trans with a 1500, headers, meth and stage 1 fuel system (SD tune), the car made 720 at 14 psi. I'm guessing your LS3 will make marginally more.

Sorry for your luck.. but I did burst out in laughter when I saw that mess. At least it's relatively easily fixed.

Stock cam, stock bottom end, 10% OD and no restrictor? Might be able to get a 720 money shot out of it but I'd leave the restrictor in and tune it to 650 and make it last...

Hope things worked out good for him...

Hey yall, car had more small things pop up that were related to when the belt let go a few months back.

All of that has since been fixed and is scheduled to go back on the rollers/tuning tonight or tomorrow.

Update when that time comes.

And the restrictor is staying in but being opened up a little.

You're using a guy that lost his company to screwing people over and are expecting good results?


Good luck...

Everyone out here loves Matt's tunes. His previous ways do have me looking elsewhere, but depending on what Dimewise does I may take it to him.

Good luck man Hope its getting wrapped up for you.


He just tuned a buddies Grandsport and it seems to have went well.

Thanks a lot man. I can tell you right now my experience has been great. He's constantly in contact with me and updates me when he starts anything and sends progress reports with pics along the way. Not to mention his advice and recommendations are extremely helpful. There is a reason he is so backed up right now. And I don't see why someone wouldn't use him especially if they have ECS parts.
