Default C.O.W. Tune....WOW!!!!!

Had read a lot of good things about Chuck and decided thats the place for a tune. Early Wenesday his boys stated on the Vararam and also a CLB that I had never gotten too.
Nice bunch of guys and things went smoothly. He said he had installed at least a hundred of them.
After all was done I met Chuck and it was time for the tune. What a perfectonist! We must have been in the car for a couple of hours and I'll tell you there is no such thing as good enough for this guy, its got to be perfect! This car NEVER pulled like this before. Chuck expains all of the adjustments he's making. The results were fantastic. Even more than I had expected.
His prices are fair and this guy KNOWS what he's doing!
Anyways the wife and I had lunch up in the area and made a day of it.
When we left to come home she even made a comment on how quick the car seemed. She now calls it the Crazy Car. Thanks Chuck for a great job. At least 2 referalls to follow.

Sounds like a great experience

Nice write up too

Were there any Dyno numbers or was it a street tune?

Thanks,Matt

If I might ask, what did the installation of the CLB set you back? I'll be having my local guy do one for me, and I've yet to get an estimate from him. Want to make sure I'm in the ballpark... PM me if you are more comfortable answering there...

Chuck,
Are you coming to SEMA? If you are, got a quite few people in our club that might be interested in a tune. BTW, thanks to Chuck's tune, my car has never been so good at WOT!
