Just had my vette tuned at L.A.P.D,in So. Cal and it's running even better than before!
My "maggie" had a little "lag" when I would floor it off the line,but no longer!
Doug is a great tuner!

Tuning does make a difference. Mine goes to Orange County Corvettes Monday for a tune with Sean.

George, I'm happy to hear your car is running better. Doug@LAPD is a FANTASTIC tuner and takes pride in his work, overall he's just a great guy and a true friend. As you know, my Mother was recently hospitalize due to a stroke and Doug would send his prayers via email daily and ask for updates concerning her condition. Doug...Thanks for your support and a BIG thanks to the entire LAPD crew.

Side note: Doug is in the process of tuning my car in 2 bar Speed Density, being the caring person he is, he suggested I take the car home over the weekend as he understands how I miss driving it and help release some stress during these times...tuning will resume on Monday.
