I have been freinds with Billy for some time now, great guy not to mention he is an expert when it comes to C5's and C6's not to mention some of the older gems.

I lost power from a cold air intake until I had it tuned, you can verify that with the guy Bill uses for tuning (he did a couple tunes for me last year) I have enjoyed the little bit of modding I have done to this car so far, did Heads & cam to my last vette and hope to control myself a little more with this one.

shoot me a PM if you ever want to shoot the sh_t about cars over a beer.

I'll be in touch. As Bill about his visit to the Cubans. He spent the night in my garage on one of his visits.

I saw RacerX's car get a computer replaced and it had H/Cgears/tune...and they knew about the mods. The tech gets tipped and the dealer sells him all his cars (7 that I know of).

Simply go to the dealer that honors warranties on modded cars and buy your car from one that doesnt shaft guys for non-sense.

Dealers get paid for repairs regardless of fault. They arent going to tell a customer to pound pavement if they want repeat sales.
I took mine in and the Service writer was most worried about taking him for a ride! I have headers and F/I. A lot not stock.

Those are good numbers as far as the gain which is the important part. From the baseline (starting point).

He said he would do my instal for me as well as getting me lined up with a dyno tune. I'm not concerned about him taking care of any issues I may have, but I travel a alot with my cars and was just wondering what the difference would be making the mods without the tune.
Street tune > dyno tune.

Sounds Great!

Just sent Billy a text to initiate the razzing process...
