Default !!! Chuck c.o.w. Makeover !!!

Its a pretty good haul for me up to Chucks place but its well worth it.
I've been up there several times in the past year and always seem to leave his place well satisfied and with a smile on my face! The last trip up was nothing less than I expected.
A set of 3:42's were installed, a ProTorque 2700 stall, A trans cooler to keep everything happy, and a Vara Ram Power duct to go along with the Vara Ram from a previous installation.
The goals were added performance without killing the drivability.
After everything was installed Chuck performed his magic with a meticulous tune. Need I say more? You guys that have been using Chuck know what Im talking about and those that are not are missing the boat.
After everything was completed all I can say is W.O.W. to the C.O.W.
This car just digs in and GOES!
Here's the amazing part. I figured on losing 3 maybe 4 mpg with the stall and gears and Chuck said not necessarily so. Going from 2:73 his thoughts were the car was kinda lugging and not in its happy zone.
Well it took 3 weeks for me to write this up because I had to be sure, but not only did I get a kick in performance I picked up 2 mpg!
I wanted to post this because quality work today is hard to come by and there are still a lot of us that appreciate it. Chuck, thanks to you and the boys for an outstanding job!
