> Now dont take this psot the wrong way. How much did he up ur line pressure? I know stock is 90 and anything over 95 is asking for trouble. there is a member on here silverws6 who kept have problems with his tranny. When I got the HP tuners I checked out all the setting and the line pressure. I found that the vette doctors up his line pressure to 110. He had problems with the tranny over heating and had one tranny fell him. Also Hpyertech has the shiftfirmness option on there tuners and I know I personally and alot of other people had there trannies burn up becasue when u used that option the setting was to high. I know TSP, thunder, and speeedinc dont go any higher then 95 on the setting on a stock tranny.

Not exactly sure what he set it to but the temps run around 165 city driving and ~130 on the hwy. I have a big cooler and tranny gauge so I can monitor this. I will keep my eye on it. The next time I talk to Mikey I will ask him how much he increased it.

> also ive heard some good and some bad from rapid motorsports i personally would never take my car there i went to VETTE DOCTORS in new york and they did a good tune not perfect since i didnt have a VETTE but overall good tune and a lil on the rich side. better to be safe than sorry but if i could do it over again id prolly just let sam tune my car and get it on a dyno to fine tune it from there w/ a hp tuner setup and some reading. my car ran well for the small cam it had

Once again the only place I have heard bad things about Rapid is here. If you go to any of the LS1 boards I havent found a bad thing about his work. I understand some folks had some bad work done but I have nothing bad to say so far.  
Glad your car ran well.

There were alot of bad threads on tech about him in the last few years. Mickey did do the right thing and fix some of the problems but there are still a few out there that aint to happy with him. Alot of the bad threads got removed because he fixed the problems. I do give him credit because when there was a problem he fixed it. He didnt go and say his business was closing and then wait a year and come back under a different name like TSP did. TSP is a very good LS1 performace shop now but when they were know as [Horsepowerstore.com](http://Horsepowerstore.com) they pissed alot of people off.

I have noticed those problems too.  
That dude tony who runs LS1Tech is loaded. When I spoke with Steve from SJM Manufacturing here in Pittsburgh he told me he pays 200.00 a mth to be a sponsor. Theres over 125 sponsors at any given time. you do the math.

Wouldnt want to upset any paying sponsors now, right!

I believe there are 4 guys who own that site but I could be wrong. But anyway eventually we will become a sponsor and I was quoted 150.00 but Im sure it may have changed. I added that up before and i believe he was making around 170,000 a year just in the side sponsors. Now u can get the banner add for 250.00 a month so Im sure he almsot at 200,000 if not more. The site does get alot of hits and has alot of members so IM sure the server aint cheap to run.

200mth x 125 = 300000/yr. And there are more than 125 sponsors.
