VA Tuners
looking for someone in or close to Virginia to do some engine work. Does anyone know anything about the HP Factory (www.thehpfactory.com) in Chesapeake or can you guys suggest another place to go.
If there is something you'd rather not post, please PM me and I'll keep it to myself.

That is Ed's place, one of the Forum's Supporting Tuners, his forum name is edcmat-l1. You will find a lot of people in the area (and many from out of the area) will recommend him. 
Good guy, knowledgeable, and very good on his prices.
Give him a call.

Definitely give Ed a call. He has helped me work out some issues on my Kenne Bell Z06 and my Jeep wrangler. He really knows his stuff. We are actually getting a few Vettes together this Saturday at his shop if you want to come by and check him out.
Speaking of Ed... Happy Birthday!!!

Thanks for the props guys. I "met" Lancer over on the fbodyeurope.org forum.
BTW guys, I'm going back to Germany in March. Sold a stroker to a customer over there, and I'm going over to help with the install and of course tune it. Cant wait. I love it over there.
Hope to see you out at the shop on Saturday, Lancer.
Thanks for the Happy B-day Roger!! I feel old today.......

+1 for Ed
He dyno tuned my Callaway Twin Turbo and the car idles at 800 rpms (the car is FAR from stock!) and runs to 5k (which is good for a CTTC)
Makes TONS of power, too.
Ed treated my car like it was his own. Thanks

Another +1 for Ed. I had one of my vettes towed 3.5 hours to Ed's for a complete transmission rebuild and tune. I don't let just anyone work on my baby, Ed took great care of the car in his possession. 
Happy Birthday Ed

thanks guys, that makes me feel a lot better. I've read about to many horror stories of guys taking there car in and having a shop make a mess of things only to be out all the money and left with a car that doesn't work, which I can't afford, so I just wanted to get a few 3rd party opinions before I even think about handing someone my keys and saying take it apart.
Ed, we'll talk on Saturday about what I'm planning and happy birthday.
