Due to tight regulations on some forums, people can only say good shit about tuners...

I've been to most in Socal, even the so called, self proclaimed semi famous ones.

They all pretty much SUCK!!!

I went to San Diego to get a fresh stroked 414 built and installed. I kept my same Novi 2k blower with my ECS bracket.

Here is a teaser video I put together of a Runway shoot DVD I'm making!!!

Here is a shake down run on the way up to my mountain house!!!

Sounds GREAT!

I know the deal about finding a good hi-po vendor. It is very difficult.

Even the ones that have a good reputation sometimes only have clients that don't drive there cars to the extreme. When that happens, you're the one who ends up testing their work instead of someone else. Been there, done that...

When are you going to post a "special video" of your models in the Babes section?

Nice vids J
the twin view on the canyon run was great!

I hear ya on the clients that think spirited driving is hitting 80 at the end of a Freeway on ramp!!! They never really push the car, so the flaws are slow to appear. When they do, they continue to praise the same tuner, so he won't charge them too much more to fix his own mistakes, or take too long.

I've been guilty of this, but told the present shops that will not happen anymore!!! I've tested the shit out of stuff, then they get the credit! I've given tons of business over the last 6 years to a few different shops by promotion of their business, only to have them push me to the side if it was not convenient for them to work on my car...

THERE"S MY RANT, thanks for allowing me to share David!!!

Here's a short video of Lacie Marie and crew, she is a finalist in Maxim's Home town Honey contest, and needed a vid. I put this together for her last night!

Thanks again!!!

Thanks Buddy!!!

Nice vid!

You are always welcome to post your good and bad experiences with a vendor on here. We really have no sponsors so there is no unfair censorship.

They are always welcome to register on the board and explain their side.

Have fun and be safe!

sorry to about the lack of reliable tuners. When ever I get the money to do that level of work i'm going to have to send/take it to Texas, there's none out here.

Who did you use to build the engine? The only reputable engine builders I know of I really wouldnt care to trust for an LSX based engine. And looking at your canyon video, those coilovers must be amazing. My car would be trying to upset the rear of the car on a lot of those corners.

Be careful in Texas as well!

Someone on this forum had a really bad experience with Texas Speed and their engine building

I was thinking about LG motor sports, what do any here know personally about them ? Every body "knows somebody that knows somebody" but what do you know first hand.

I've heard good things about them.

You may want to ask Lenz06, I think he had some work done by them

I've heard good things about 21century musclecars as well

thanks, the thing i like about LG is they race what they build.

Thanks David! I'm still sorting out lingering issues from my last tuner before I can go on a REALLY nice all out Canyon run, or even think about hitting the roadcourse...

I used a guy in San Diego, I think he did a pretty good job, but the jury is still out due to small unresolved issues he left me with. Let's just hope they don't turn into major issues.

The Pfadt coilovers with T-1 bars work real nice!!!

Man that car sounds GREAT!

I am a bit surprised with using a stroker for a blower engine. I thought you would not want so much compression with a blower.

I'm sure he's using dished pistons to keep his compression down.

Although a lot people with centrifical blowers tend to run higher compression than turboed. Properly sized turbos will get you to full boost way before a centri which means more torque in the lower rpms. That's good and bad in the sense that I think it makes centri cars easier to modulate with your right foot than a turbo car.

Another quality video from JBSm I hope someday I may be worthy enough to be in one of your videos.

That makes two of us. haha

I've word with 21st Century as well as LG.

21st is good, John Page is a great guy to work with and his wife is also very nice, both are knowledgable and the technical staff are very helpful. Haven't had a bad visit yet.

For LG, don't talk to Bobby. Talk to Lou or Louis (Jr) or Sean.

Either shop will give you high quality work and are pretty much priced the same.

I found out that i am going to Italy so the vette is for sale.
