I just recently spent some $$$ on some goodies for the vette. The parts should all mostly arrive in the beg of May and I will have the car off the road for the better part of a week to do the installs myself. When I am finished I want to get the car tuned, I am willing to drive pretty much anywhere in the Northeast and I care more about who is doing the tune than how much I have to pay. I have never had the vette tuned so I wouldn’t even know where to start but I would appreciate hearing some names so I can start doing my research. Thanks! :thumbup ---

My conclusion is that if you go to RLMS you car will either run 8’s with a bolt on LS1 or it will blow to smithereens within 5 minutes. Or both, at the same time. ---

Tell you what… having someone local who can tune is really convenient. It sucks having to drive a bunch of miles to get tweaks, etc. With that being said, why don’t you stop down to RLMS and talk with Howard? It can’t hurt. It also helps support the local car scene. There are a lot of idiocy on this site against him for no apparent reason. Just my .02 ---

If I had an LSx car id go to howard, idk what some people deals are with him but he’s always been a nice guy whenever I’ve talked to him, even told me to bring my car by the shop sometime if I want to check the place out and throw it up on the dyno if I wanted. I’ve heard a few stories of cars built by him blowing up, who’s to say these other shops haven’t had cars blow up? Shit happens every car and the driver behind the wheel is differant so there’s a number of variables that could attribute to it, also I bet it gets blown way out of proportion because he’s local. I’ve also heard that howard can be too conservitive on some tunes to prvent that very thing but who knows… I do know the good outweighs the bad from waht I’ve heard and id support someone right in our back yard like rlms ---
