It will be worth every penny. You can only do so much with a mail order tune. Heck you can get pretty damn good with a mail order tune from some of the good tuners out there. However, nothing beats a true dyno tune and street tune even from the good mail order guys. Every car is different and has its own personality. Mike will get it dialed in correctly.

By the way - you might want to make sure that your driveshaft is up to the challenge...AND that you have a loop.

The magazine article I cited was significantly delayed because I had done neither. I had a stock style 69 shaft that exploded on the dyno. Ripped the floor apart and cost plenty to get it back on-line to finish things up.

A quality shaft and loop really are not that expensive - cheap insurance.

You can youtube video and you'll see many such disasters that could have easily been avoided.

Thanks for the tip. It has a Dennys Drive shaft and a loop at front. Our local race track makes us have both. And the bottom of the floor is painted,i have seen what a drive shaft does to the bottom of the car...not nice. Thanks again. Any thing else? Has any one done the drive from Detroit to Indiana? Wes
