Default Cartek question ..

I have a date set up to have the works thrown at my z06 H/C , headers , ported TB , injectors , and so on .. But I have just started seeing people talking about the 3x H/C package .. How is that different then the 2x that im getting ?

Yes I know I should call Cartek and ask but I didn't want to sound like a fool , I thought I was up to date on these things .. guess not .

If you dont call them, then you are a fool.... I would much rather hear it from the doctor, then from observers....

Dave at Cartek is an easy guy to deal with. He'll answer this and any other questions that you have. The rumor that they post the names of customers who call with stupid questions on their website is, as far as I know, untrue.

No, I don't know the difference. However, it's your money and you should have every question answered to your satisfaction to make sure you are making the right decision on how you are spending it. Afterall, not only are you spending the money, you will be driving the results for a while. Don't be afraid to ask :smash: .

As stated, Dave is the guy to call, nobody there will steer you wrong. They will give you exactly what you want and expect, even if they have to customize a setup for your car. You will not get anything you don't need, and they will not try to push you into something you don't want either.

You are spending some serious coin here....don't feel stupid. Besides when a tuner calls a package 3x or 2x...how the heck you supposed to know what that means :lol: i.e. head specs, cam specs, etc................

Cartek is clearly a great tuner and I'm sure you're not the first one to ask the difference between packages. Any tuner that would belittle someone for asking questions wouldn't be getting my business. :cheers: :cool:
