Congrats don...Like i said on LS1Tech, You will do well. Dont even worry about it. The first 1-2 years is the hardest without a customer base. You seem to have a very good customer to start so you will be just fine.

Congrats and good luck on your future endeavor

There are not allot of GM - Corvette tuner / speed shops around here. You should do very well once you get going.

Are you going to be mostly doing tuning and engine mods at first ?

Will you be selling installing mods , Headers, cams, tranny etc.

Umm,I've been selling all the stuff above for over 8 years now? Biggest mistake is for some reason people think we just do tuning,no idea why since most of the cars out of the shop are one's I built from ground up.Probly because we don't advertise since the workload is ussually 1-2 month wait.

So pretty much Burton, I could of easilly built your current combo for probly less $$ and quicker turn around time.This is what I do

I did not know that. That has been the perception by most in our area that you are just a tuner.
That will be great !!!

Thanks. So far it looks like I might not start advertising again just yet. The month of October is fully booked and spilling onto November.This is just from Corvette builds from clutches to Supercharger setups on new Z06's Damn,still have 3 weeks until I open.
