Well, I'm going to turn Ed loose on my suspension in March. Then a nice little Head/Cam package a little later depending on how a few other things work out.
...and after this afternoon, I'm adding a catch-can to my list of mods to do now. Found a nice pool of oil in the intake
Nice to meet everyone today.

Ed,
I'm just curious. If I leave my car at your shop to have work done will you authorize and employee to take the car home for the weekend and drive it at least 30 miles away and into another county to take their daughter to school and then total it? Also, will you return my car with 500 more miles on it than when I dropped it off?
If you would, would you then try to worm your way out of any responsibility? I hope not that that would make you a real piece of $hit.
This is all hypothetical - of course.

Ed, I wanted to again, take the time to thank you for your professionalism and detail of work you applied to my Callaway Twin Turbo Corvette – I am MORE than satisfied.
I have been around “the cars hobby” for over two decades, as performance cars go. You are a rarity in this business. Taking the word of fellow Corvette guy, Bluewasp, I took my car to you after you patiently answered about a dozen emails from me. While you had never worked on a Callaway Twin Turbo and the tuning of one, you did assure me you were up to the task and the time and patience you showed, sealed the deal for me.
I trailered my car over 150 miles to your location and when it was evident we were not going to finish in a day, you gave me options. All options I might add were amicable in terms, and fair in the name of getting the job done. I have to respect that!
After your assurances that my car would be kept indoors and that you would have it done by a certain date, I left it in your care. Emails and telephone calls throughout the week, assured me again, I had made the right decision. Upon picking the car up, you went over the work performed and detailed the invoice and we settled our accounts.
As I left – which was not until you made CERTAIN I was happy, you noticed a few handprints on the car. While it had been in storage since the Carlisle event in August, you disagreed, insisting on wiping the car down with detailers spray and reminding me how nice the car was – thanks.

Ed @ the HPFactory/ATI just did my new HD Rear. Previously did a roll bar.
But best was his tune of 7 Nov. Increased drivability by 200% and picked up 10 HP & 15 TQ. Previous tune done by a notable speed shop.
I would never let anyone other than Ed tune my car.

This is from a locked thread here in the Southeast section.
And so has this one.
They should not reopen a topic after a moderator has closed a thread on the topic. A pattern of such defiance of the Forum’s rules/guidelines will jeopardize a member’s posting privileges.

I wish I could use that in a commercial or something. Very nice of you to say. I try and treat everyone this way. Everyone is fond of their car/s, and wants to feel like they as well as their cars are being treated well. Unfortunately sometimes s**t happens, and all you can do is hope to make the best of it.
