#1 I am new to the C6 world but I am trying to catch up as quick as I can. Yesterday I put all of my new AUTO GEEK car care products to work. Zaino was my first option but after looking at the price and the amout of labor I went with REJEX. So I washed the car with Blue Dove, then I clay bared it with Pinical, and followed up with Rejex. I aslo bought their Finish detailer spray but I have not used it yet.












#2 I took the car to PowerFab Automotive for a new Tune, it was a hard choice because I liked Patrick but the drive was just to far. Come to find out that the local retard who did the initial tune had teh car screwed up. My initial dyno run with the bad tune was 451.67RWHP 416.29 torque. I has 7* to much timming, my fuel maping was wrong, and the transmission was off big time.

Comparing to the other thread I saw with the 29 coats of Zaino Z1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, this looks better, took less time, less product, less money and MORE DRIVING TIME!!!

I just got back from Power Fab, they wanted me to come in so they could road test my tune and adjust it to my driving style. I was in no hurry because I did not see how they could make it any better but was I wrong. They also changed out my Thermastat to a 160* while I was there. Now I need a 102 fast intake and a 102 throttle body, which site vendor has the best deal?

The new thermostat was a good investment, the engine does seem to be running cooler in traffic and it runs much cooler going down the road.
