ask justin about his logged tunes versus some of the ones hes done on the dyno. he was only able to get another 2hp out of an ss that he street tuned previously... hes spot on!

Default go wheatley or go home

Can't go wrong with either one. But, I can't justify throwing that much extra $ down for a tune.

i believe it. just to further the point...justin called me out of the blue a few weeks later after doing a dyno tune on another ss with essentially the same performance mods as mine and said in a nutshell that i got all i could get out of her and the dyno proved it.

that kind of customer service goes a long long way in my book.

Personally i went with Wheatley and he has done a great job for me. The first tune was spot on and he fixxed a ton of issues from a local tuner for me.
Then i got some heads and he got a retune right out to me express mail.
This time around i did a gear swap and a 3200 stall and he is shipping the pcm 1day air for me so i don't have to deal with alot of down time.
IMO Charlie goes out of his way for his customers and thats why i have both my trucks tuned by him.
If i get something else in the future i'll be goin to him again and again.My .02

Hey thanks alot guys for the great responses!
Ive just been informed about a (Local Tuner) here in North Carolina in Durham. Gonna give him a call first thing in the A.M. an in person tune would be awesome.
