Default Got her Tuned today

Well back at the Tampa show I was lucky enough to win Drive Tune from Corvette Concepts out of Sarosata.I have been trying to arrage it for the last few months,but with my work hour and there it just wasn't going to happen,But now that I have a little more free time on my hands I was able to get up there today.The guys at Corvette Concepts are very nice to deal with,very Family oriented shop to deal with.Brain is a awesome TunerHis skills are incredibel,his knowledge for vettes are amazing.Jake his father was a great person to deal with.Had a great day with those guys.I would recommend them for all your c-5 and c-6 needs.Thanks Corvette Concepts for your services.

The tuned allowed some things like:
Higher redline-from 5999rpm to 6500rpm
Firmer shifts though the gears----I cant even fell the car shift anymore
Change the shift points
Changed the temp that the fans turns on----from 219 to 190,which is great for the summer.
I all the techinal stuff he did.


He drove it after he Tuned it,came back and then said " Your turn"

I took it out and opened her, 60 mph to around 120mph
HOLY CRAP BATMAN
What a huge difference,It launched out from 60 mph like someone strapped a rocket to the back end.
Mined you I have a auto tranny,2:73 rear gears and totally stock,Man it's like a new car.I had fulled it up with 93 octane and so he Tuned it for that.
The only thing that I'm afraid of now is that I will want all those mods sooner so I can get more power from her.
Thanks again Corvette Concepts
