Good local tuner experience
I put LG Pro longtubes on my car on July 4. Got the CEL, and knew it needed a tune, although it did run OK.
Called Dragon in Broomfield before I put the headers in, and scheduled a tune and dyno time for this past Thurs.
I showed up, there was another car on the dyno, but they pulled it off since I had an appt, the guy at the shop (Brent?) was very pleasant- took me on a tour of their projects and shop while the car was being strapped down.
Another guy, Trevor(?) did my baseline runs, and then the owner, Peter, showed up from a run to the machine shop and started the tuning. Peter did his thing, did a bunch of pulls with my car, looked up, and said "we're done". He was very nice to talk to, asked me some questions about my driving habits, the open road races I do, etc.
After we settled up, I went out and drove the car home. I have to say- it runs as good or better than when totally stock, not to mention the additional power.
Based on my personal experience, I would not hesitate to recommend DRE to anyone. In fact, I'd definitely recommend them, as I'm a satisfied customer.
Thanks, DRE, for the good tune on the Vette. Much appreciated.
