Default Vette Doctors Information!

I just wanted to share my experience with the Vette Doctors with everyone!

I have always heard great things about the Vette Doctors building awesome cars and having truly TOP notch service. That being so I figured it would be worth the 8 hour drive there to get my car tuned. I had a mail order tune that was not the greatest from another shop ( I realize that mail order never is) I have driven to other BIG NAME Ls1 shops to have Ls1 F bodies tuned and NEVER had these kind of results, my car purrs like a kitten, pulls out EASY, idles GREAT for a huge cam (G5x2)
I've had a nearly identical cam tuned in house at a few BIG NAME Ls1 shops *** and the car ran HORRIBLE.

After impressing me with their magnificent tuning, they supplied lunch to my friend and I. They proceeded to show us around the shop to view their FAST cars, I mean FAST, as in 9 sec! We spent the rest of the day talking to Carmen and Dennis to find out that they LOVE the cars and strive for perfection! In the past I have seen that many of the supposed TOP NOTCH BIG NAME Ls1 builders in the country care more about making $ then having happy customers. The Vette Doctors are NOT LIKE THIS! Which is a hard find this day in age.
Needless to say I will be a Vette Doctor fan the rest of my LS1 life! Hopefully this will help lead others to the BEST shop around for a truly awesome experience!

I would never use anyone but Carmen ,Dennis,and Joey to work on my car .They just did a Magna Charger for me and Carmen has it dialed in . I never even get a code from it.If they wanted to they could of talk me into all kinds of diffrent mods but they are not that kind of people.
Anyway they are the best and I would drive any where to have them work on my car

The Doctors are great to work with...they are competent, don't oversell and give you what you need. It's because of the work they have done to my car that a C6 is not in my future.

The Vette Doctors are the best in the business.
Without exaggeration, they are one of the reasons I enjoy this hobby.

They tuned my BIG cam 383 LT4 to run better than and other that I’ve run across. Did you see my old school C4 there, I miss her.

I must be going to the shop too early in the morning, I never get lunch

The red one.

That was you on the dyno. After I dropped the car off I hung out in the minivan with the wife and kids until the dyno was over . We all loved it (the wife was kinda bored)

It sounded sick!
