Default Chuck Cow Tune

I have a frc with a manual 6, just got it tuned by Chuck Cow and it is another car! It's an LS1 with LS6 heads, intake, cam, headers, it was dyno tuned before and drove like crap on the road. I drove with Chuck Cow in the car to make necessary adjustments on the road and it is now an amazing vette like it should be. Including my father and 3 other of his friends that have had their vettes tuned by Chuck Cow, they all advised me to wait to have it tuned by him instead of other mail orders or local tuners. I live 6 hours away and this was well worth the drive to Oklahoma City. The car idle like crap before and would die time to time and the power was not smooth, on top of that the fans were set to high, took out the shift to 4th light at low speed, the throttle is much more crisp. Very happy customer here!
Thanks Chuck Cow

Glad you like it, I had Chuck tune my 2002 A4 coupe 3 years ago and still love it. Like you said, It was like having a new car.

I had my 2004 A4 tuned in Orlando a few weeks ago. I just installed the low temP stat as well and the car run great. It's like the car "woke up". More responsive, smoother shifts etc. I had installed a Callaway Honker CAI and Corsa X-Pipe to match up with my Corsa Indy exhaust a few weeks before the tune so the car is really performing well!
