Default Top Notch Chi-Town Tuner

I had my car re-tuned due to many issues concerning shift firmness, hitting the rev limiter going into 3rd, and a general lack of performance after H&C install which definately p*ssed me off. First off I want to thank several of you for turning me onto Brian @ BV Performance who definately straightened out my tuning mess and got the car running properly. We met at ATR Performance in Joliet for a dyno tuning session and the people at ATR were great to work with helping Brian do his tuning. The car turned 358 RWHP and 318 RWTQ prior to tuning which explains my lackluster 12.20 ET @111mph w/1.7 60' times at Rt 41 a few weeks ago. Brian straightened out the tuning nightmare and got it to 377 RWHP / 331 RWTQ unlocked with a convertor spike which still is low and I suspect the GTP Stage II heads are the culprit. The car feals wayyyyyy stronger now and drives beautiful. If it ever stops raining i'll be off to Rt. 41 to see what it will turn now. Anyone looking for a great tuner in the chicago area contact me for Brians number. :chevy :thumbs:
