I'm freakin' happy as hell! I thought those were great numbers (don't forget it's a Mustang Dyno) considering what I have done...

Wow, those are great numbers, especially on that dyno. Are you going to get retuned once you get your 2.9 and other mods on?

Matt is actually talking me out of the 2.9". To be honest I am happy with what I have right now. This is a daily driver and will most likely never see the track so I might be done with mechanical mods except for some cooling and trans work...

Yes, I was checking it out, I was shocked to see a turbo with a CA heat exchanger sitting up front... You should dump the air/water and go air/air, oh yeah, and sell me the CA heat exchanger...

He was working on a TrailBlazer SS that was causing a lot of grief...

I threw a CEL tonight during my 45 minute/10mph "idle" down I-78. I called Matt at 5:30 and told him about it. He told me to stop by on my way home and he would check it out. Sure enough it was a lean code. I was at the shop for a total of 15 minutes and he scanned the code, modified the tune and cleared the CEL. You can't beat this guy, he is the best!

The CEL popped after 45 minutes of idling in bumper to bumper traffic which is not the norm... If it popped during normal driving or at higher RPMs I would be concerned. My point in posting this was that Matt didn't have to stop and drop everything for me at 6:45 at night but he did without question. I would expect anyone else would have told me to stop by Saturday morning. Lets face it, his is a tough business to be in, the primary demographic is young guys beating on their cars and scrounging up more money to dump into their cars so the can beat them harder. It is very easy to see where someone could point the finger at him for something stupid they did them self. Funny thing with Matt is even in that business climate I hear almost nothing but praise for him. The fact that he jumped to help me with a problem at 6:45 at night only adds to my respect for his work and work ethic. Anyone that would question spending $399 for him to custom tune their car should consider what I just said when making the decision to spend that kind of money...
