better check on that...pretty sure Jeremy isn't doing what he used to....last I heard he was looking to get out and charging a **** ton for basic tuning...think he is working for someone else out of a place in Clearwater now

I used Jeremy many years ago when he was dependable and actually gave a ****, I had Phil do some street tuning on my Z06 a couple years ago when he was still going to Powertech to use their dyno, not sure where he is dyno tuning now or if he is just street tuning. I have nothing bad to say about Phil, we are friends I just haven't talked to him in awhile so I can't say what he is doing for dyno time if thats what you want. Joe at Powertech can do it all and has the nicest dyno setup in the area.

Your car, your money and you know what you need done.

That's my bad on not being around much. I've been neglecting my Tampa Bay Corvette club fun activities because my day job seems to have me working more nights and weekends the last two years. Its good because it frees up my days. Seemingly, I make it to cars and coffee with the ZR1 because its an O dark 30 event, and that's about all the driving it gets.

I know I've been saying it for a year or two, but the day job (which seems to be a night job now), although extremely fun has me reaching an age limit soon, and that will give me more time for fun corvette club activities and that other stuff mentioned in this thread.

I miss the scavenger hunts especially now that we all have GPSs. lol
