Default Chuck Cow is Legit

I took advantage of the vararam, stat, and tune christmas special he was running. I did this to my c5z and c6z. The c5 really did wake up and the throttle response is completely different than before. This does not feel like a cookie cutter tune. The C6Z became a beast. The tune was flawless and creates great power. Besides the performance he is willing to speak on the phone with you for as long as necessary. Every question is answered. I highly recommend him. Thanks chuck cow!

Chuck did my A4 and I was in the market for 3.42 gears before the tune, Now I don't think I need the gears.
Great job Chuck.

He is def a good guy. The first summer I had my car I was looking for a tune (still am) and he said to call him. I did, and we had a good 45 min chat (killed my cell bill too haha).
He is very helpful and informative, I plan to have him tune my car one day, its kind of a ways away for me.

Chuck is located in Westchester County, NY but tunes at Carlisle in August. He did my 6 speed C5 and for the first 10 minutes or so, it scared the ---- out of me. He is truly an expert.

What sucks is, I didn't get my C5 until 03-07-09. But then I guess i should get used to the car first before I get the tune. I hope he'll run that vararam/stat/tune or just tune special this christmas. So I can start hinting it to my family or my gf what I want from Santa.

He does go "on tour" all you need to do is put enough guys together interested in his tune and he's on his way.

Chuck tuned my 2K, A4 a few weeks back when he was in So. Cal. All I could say when I first drove my car was WOW! Thanks Chuck CoW! If he is ever in your area, I highly recommend his tune. I even told him to have tee shirts printed up with all the different places and dates he was doing tunes. Sorta like bands do when their on tour It really woke up my A4 (I have 3.42 gears as well).

Makes me want to get my 04 A4 with 3.15 gears done. I suspect it might void my GMPP though, anyone know?
