A very well respected Vette tuner. He's taken home the Supertuner challenge 2 years out of 2 now.

Yup, the current king of vette tuners.

Also tunes GM SUVs, and has all motor setups for the viper that rival john henessy's. And since the camaro, impala ss and vette have shared near the same 350 since 92, he has lots of upgrades for all those cars.
He's also the only one that can create a 427 out of an LS1 (current vette 350)!! well, actually its a 428, but he just calls it a 427 for nostalgic purposes :)

The 427 on the LS6 vette does the standing 1/4 mile in well under 12 seconds. Add his twin turbo pack and I'm sure sub 10s are easy. Also throw that body kit on that I posted and it can safely reach 225MPH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Traction's probably a problem too with that power. That kit allows for 345/30/19 rear tires.

drooling yet?

total cost for 427 TT w/body kit all installed w/ 2 year 24,000 mile warrenty is $75,350 USD, that makes it all about what? 115K US for the car? add maybe 10 grand as well for top notch suspension and brake packages and weight reduction, plus more costs. I'm sure it'll beat the shit out of most cars over twice its cost though.
