[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 12128976, member: 7060"] I second that. Dave Guy is a real stand up guy. He installed and tuned my current setup. If he can make a non-forged, 10.3:1 high compression motor take the wrath of 10-12 psi courtesy of a procharger for 60,000 miles without much as a mechanical hiccup, he's doing something right. He'll tune your car with sense. If you have the setup and want to go balls to the wall, he'll do that. But if you have a street car, he'll tune it so it drives nice around town, and so you can beat the snot out of it without having to worry about blowing a piston because of an overly aggressive tune. He's honest. And he's willing to spend time helping you long after he's worked on your car. I had my car towed to Dave after a different shop overheated and destroyed my brand new forged motor. Since nothing was salvageable and I couldn't afford another new forged motor, so I bought a junkyard aviator longblock instead. He installed and tuned it right. The best part is that I sued the shop that overheated my forged motor before I took it to Dave to fix. When the case went to court, Dave was kind enough to drive 4 hours and come to court as an expert witness for me. Of course, I paid him, but he really went out of his way. He needed to convince the jury that the other shop overheated my engine because they didn't bleed the coolant properly, so the defense wouldn't confuse the jury or make it look like it was my fault. He had inside knowledge because he tore apart the blown motor and installed a less stout junkyard motor that runs fine with a blower. So, he was able to dismiss all these other bullshit claims from the defense. Long story short, he made the jury laugh at the guy I was suing because of the stupid basic mistakes this other guy made. That's how good he is. I can't thank him enough. And I wish I were closer to his shop so I could have him keep tuning my car. I'm half tempted to ship my car from FL to PA on the Auto Train just so I can have him tune my car instead of Lamotta's. I don't trust shops. I hate taking my car to a shop. But I trust him. Because he gives a damn. And he worked his ass off to build his own shop and reputation. Homer [/QUOTE]
