Picked my car up tonight from the chip install and dyno tune. I wanted to say thanks to Don and his son Rob for taking care of the old girl. If anyone is like me and very particular about who they leave their car with let me assure you that I felt very comfortable and these two guys did all that they said they would and for a very reasonable price. They are located in Deleware Ohio and I had no hesitation on taking mine two hours and leaving it. I will highly recommend them to anyone. I would like to also say that if you are in the market for a custom bike or would like to just check some out....head to Creative Custom Choppers on E. Williams st and you will see some awesome bikes and some good folks. Their bikes match anything that I have seen "on" the road. These fellows are definately "good" ole boys who you can trust and enjoy talking to. Rob took the time to explain the difference in the Mustang vs Dyn.Jet, not that I kept up that well but just the type of person that does not rush you out the door after you have paid. Lasota racing will get my repeat business after anymore mods and references to anyone who wants to pm me with questions.
Thanks again guys.

That confirms what I always thought.

In this day and age, it sure is cool to come across good folks like that. I shoot Don some real oddball questions occasionally and though we know he is a real busy guy, he always takes the time to reply (and quite promptly at that).

Great to hear you dig the combo so much!

Thanks Hissin, they are great. Now the only thing left to do is run it at the track and see what numbers I get....

so did you gain a lot of power with the tune or just fix the drivability.

Both....I took it down because of surging idle issues and stalling off and on when slowing fast to a light etc. I knew that with all the mods it needed a prof. tune that I couldn't give it. They ran it and it was at 240/250 rwhp the first time and then tweaked everything and got it to where it is now. Plus the trans shift much better and at the points it should...That is why I say I got BOTH the driveability AND some added HP...........

April 15th Grady. That's the first Friday test and tune at Norwalk. I was talking to the guy who got me with his 94 Lt1 Camaro and we were supposed to go to to Milan MI around the same time and go again. I called him last night and told him the numbers (he is the one who helped put mine together) and now he says his needs some work and he's not ready. LOL

I saw where don said that dynos like 15% less. So that is over 300 rwhp, that is good.

So where's the "deep thought" analysis Grady? You think Will's got all day to wait on you?

Nice numbers Will.......................... for a Trickflow car.

Says the guy with a box of uninstalled speed parts and a near stock ride. J/K

Things got kinda hectic around here this afternoon.

I wanna compare Will's to other auto trans combos.

Will ... did you get numerical values of the pull from Don by chance?

Hey Will

I should have made myself more clear and its no big deal.

I'm sure you have seen dyno tests in the mags where they give the tq & hp values at various rpm points of the entire pull.

Again ... no big deal ... I was just asking

Bet you found a good bit of giddy up from the tune

Glad things worked out well for you

Grady
