i re-read what he said.... and you are correct, however that is where the tuner used to work

This is where he came from working on, tuning, building Lambo's, Ferrari's.... He's just starting out on his own.

The mechanic used to work at DP, he has his own business
L&L Performance and is in partnership with L&L Autolink.

He works on a lot of cars: TT Lambo's, TT Ferria's, just did exhaust work on a P650 Mclaren, work's on Porsche's, Dodge performance vehicles ....

Forgot about the clutch and that you have some tuning "issues" with your current tune.

I'll revise my numbers 588/515...

Thanks Joe for the clarification. I wanted to make sure that it was ok with Luke to put that out publicly as I know that he has recently made the move. To be clear, Luke is indeed the mechanic @ L&L Performance. He has a slew of Vette Enthusiasts that have used him over the years along with the many customers that he has been able to retain from DP. "Carlos" will be the one tuning my car once the intake is added.
THERE will be NO tricks... I am certainly not chasing dyno numbers. I will post the results upon completion. I have already posted previous results. TO BE CLEAR.... The ONLY changes will be clutch, hydraulics, MSD intake, tune. THE END... Nothing up anybody's sleeve.

The results are the results.....

Anyone local to Dallas looking to have some work done fire me a PM and i'll get you in contact with Luke. While on the subject a little about Luke....
1) He over communicates.
He keeps you in the know while the car is in his possession. AND calls you within a couple of days to check on you and the car.
2) Straight shooter... NO BS with this guy, he looks you in the eye, tells you what is going on and gives you a price to fix, build, repair.
3) Offers suggestions
If he sees something, he says something.. Not to "upsell" just to give you the opportunity to say yeah, fix it now OR lets do it later.
4) Car goes in dirty... You get it back looking brand new on the inside and out.
5) A BIG one for me.... Military "Appreciation"... NOT Military Discount.. I won't share what % he offers, but it is truly substantial.
6) Honesty, Integrity and a little bit of OCD... His shop, work area is Surgical... He doesn't keep a lot of **** laying around all cluttered up.
Should I keep going?? I could.... He's a great guy that in retrospect I wish I had been giving my money to him all along. Thanks Joe (FSTFRC) for turning me on to this young man. Truly a rarity in this field.

FWIW... Joe (FSTFRC) is a modest, humble fella making around 620 to the tires in that VLZ.. Luke, Carlos worked their magic on it years ago.. Joe beats the **** out of that Z!!!!
I'm gonna get a piece of him at the WGF event....
