I need it tuned before I would want to take it to the track.

John is really sick and can't do it but Mike Woods suggested another guy that works for john to do the tune but he won't return my phone calls. Anyone else that can tune a LT4 in the No. VA or around a days drive?

The only one I could suggest, but pricey, would be Tony's Corvette. He has a full dyno tuning setup now.

Someone suggested Dave tune my car. Dave works for john I believe. Do you know him? I've called dave several times but he doesn't return my phone calls. He even says that he doesn't have to return phone calls on his voice mail!! LOL

On the Northern Virginia Corvette CLub Forum the last update is that John is home resting, taking some time off. He should be back at work the end of March.

So other than the 17th where and when are we meeting for dinner?

No, i do not know that guy. I would only let pop (John) tune my car. I
just talked to his son Wes two weeks ago. I will call Wes to get an
update on pop.

I wouldn't want anyone other than John to touch my car either for tuning. I would go and have gone to Tony's for repairs.

I wish John well. There couldn't be a better or more humble car guy.

Please post his progress on here for us.

Not sure what everyone wants to do. I guess Friday is the day since today is thursday and we don't have any plans. We can meet at my house and drive someplace from there or whatever.. Give me suggestions.

visit him. One of the smartest car guys out there. Very hard head, but
has a big heart.
