I've heard nothing but good things about him. I know of another tuner that claims he got 45rwhp out of his brother's stock 4.8 with just a tune. I think it was a 99 model.

Take my advice and do all your modding NOW before you get married. Once you tie the knot you'll never have the money ... or the permission.












heh heh, just kidding!! Congratulations and best wishes for the future!
