TPIS headers installed and tuned by VETTE DOCTORS
Hey guys,
My first experience with the vette doctors was a pleasureable one. I come to Vette Doctors with TPIS longtubes and highflow cats. I drop the car off in the morning and Carmen tells me she will be ready the same day. I call around lunch time and the headers are almost on and they are going to be tuning a hour later. I arrive at vette doctors and the car is being set up on the dyno. Carmen gets in and starts to work his magic!
About 7-8 passes later (car sounds vicious on the dyno) he is done. Car made 388rwhp and 375rwtq with a 12.8 (30F in NY) air fuel ratio all the way across, flat as a table. We compare and see that we picked up 20rwhp+ and tons of tq through out the rpm band with tuning. Im happy with the gains and the way I was treated at Vette Doctors. I would like to thank Carmen and the whole gang there for that. 
I will definetly be using them in the future also and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone I come across too.
Driving the car home, the car feels awesome! I love the midrange and top end pull. Made a big difference.
The #'s I posted are STD as the #'s I had before were STD also. So this is what I am going by to see my gain.
Pre headers and tuning: 367rwhp 364rwtq
After headers and tuning: 388rwhp 375rwtq 21rwhp and 11rwtq, good enough for me.
SAE #'s were 376rwhp and 371rwtq I beleive. I forgot to grab the dyno sheets but I will be back on friday and I will post them up later.
All these #'s are on a nitrous tune, with NGK TR6 plugs gapped at .35.
No nitrous numbers yet but possibly Friday I will have those also.

Meet the Vette Doctors yesterday Really Nice Guys!!!!
I just moved here form Martha's Vineyard and a buddy of mine introduced me to the Vette Doctors yesterday at there shop. Carmen,Dennis and Joey and Chris are all nice guys. It just so happens
that they were having a party for there customers and they asked me to stay. Anyway I told Carmen I was looking to have some work done to my z06 we talked over some packages and now its up to me to decide. My buddy is very happy with the quality of work and the vast knowledge the Vette Doctors have. Up on the Vineyard we have heard of the Vette Doctors there known for busting out some awesome cars for the street and track. Im sure I will be very happy with what ever package i go with . The Doc's reputation preceeds them from what i can tell.
