Default Vette Doctors Performance Tuning

Vette Doctors offered their holiday special pricing on tuning. I called Carmen and told him about my car, no real problems just looking for a little more out of it. I sent an e-mail version of my current tune to Carmen. Next day a new tune arrived via e-mail. I spoke with Carmen and offered my credit card for payment, his reply "No" see how you like it before you pay me. I'm 1500 miles away and we do not know each other.

New Best after seeing the Vette Doctors. Before the Vette Doctors visit my best was 12.485 @ 109.31mph. After Carmen finished with the patient, tonights new best 12.345 @ 113.79mph. Check out that MPH increase If your car is under the weather give the Vette Doctors a call for a quick pick me up. Carmen considering you did this on a car 1500 miles away from you, based off an e-mail, you did one heck of a job. Guy's if your on the fence give them a call, it's the best bang for the buck your ever gonna get. Carmen Thanks again.

Actually after speaking with Carmen this afternoon he feels it might be a few things together. Since I ran my my old best time the car has been parked and undergone a few changes. I added a 6 point chrome molly roll-bar and sound deadening material. We figure this ADDED about 100lbs. to the car. Now that you have that info, I can tell you 3 perfomance items were added..... 1) Added the Vararam 2) Carmen / Vette Doctors Tuning 3) Added ET Streets.

We know I added 100 lbs of balast, think about the gain we "really got". Not only did these mods compensate for all that extra weight but, I picked up 4.5mph and a tenth and a half. My 60' times still suck between 1.85 - 1.89 Was it the Vararam, Tuning, or Tires? My opinion is they all work well on my car together.
