Default Ed is the MAN!

It was great to find out that there's a Vette friendly performance shop In Chesapeake for when it comes time to add more go fast mods to my C5. I met Ed very briefly at one of his Dyno days and brougth him my car a while later when I was having harmonic balancer problems. I got him to fix that and do some other performance work at the same time.
Several weeks ago my car started to act up again, as the weather got warmer it started running poorly, slow idle, stalling, bogging down. I brought it back to Ed see if there was anyting he could do. He took the car for a full day just to make sure he identified and corrected the issues. A few tweaks in the computer and its like driving a completely different car. I never would have imagined how much of a difference it would offer to the feeling of driving it to have it running well again, it drives better now than it did when I bought it.
Ed's a great guy to deal with. He's friendly, he knows his stuff, and he's willing to go out of his way to make sure he takes care of his customers. I can't wait to have him work on my car some more!

Ed has been great to deal with and really takes the time to optimize the "driveability" of the tune.

I consider Ed an excellent "Ambassador" that represents himself and those that are hardworking well respected tuners, technicians and mechanics that loves Corvettes! The quality of his work speaks for itself.
