Well how is it going guys, I recognize many names here. Most of you know me from CF. For those of you that don't I have been active at the CF site for years and on the old VN email list for even longer. I have been a Corvette owner off and on since 1976 when I purchased my first Corvette which was a 71 with a 450hp 454 and a rock crusher M4 transmission. My second purchased new in 1995 was a Z07 fully optioned coupe which I couldn't leave stock, and I stil own. My last car also purchased new is a 07 c6 Z06 which of course wasn't left stock either.

For those that don't know me, I have been car nut all my life, I put myself through school as a dealership wrench, spending several years in GM dealerships. Later I spent 23+ years as an electrical engineer working in pulp and paper mills all over the US and many parts of the world, spending a lot of time in SE Asia, China, Europe and So America. After my last major project I came home and figured on staying home. So I started up a dyno tuning business here in Vancouver Washington, however Portland Oregon is where I actually reside. That has been 5 years ago, I am still in business, and busy as ever. I have customers coming in from as far north as Prince George BC Canada, from the south as far as San Diego, and East as far as Atlanta Georgia. It's been fun, I ain't getting rich by no means, but I get to buy parts cheap for my own personal Z06 which will soon be a 900 to 1000 FWHP TT car. But that is another story.......

TJ,



I am so glad you found us! I so totally respect your knowledge and skills and look forward to working together in the future!

I still haven't gotten the Frankenvette running... one day... it's great you have landed here... cause if that PCM gives me any fits, I will be able to cry on your shoulder!

Hey Andy I was wondering if you ever got it running. Let me know if you need help with the PCM or any calibration issues!

Fatherhood as been a hoot! The little guy is just under 6 months old now and growning like a weed. He is now sleeping through most of the night which is great. He still dominates moms BBS

Here are a couple pictures:

I'm thinking he'd just chew and slobber on it. Give him a few years and he'll be ready for tuning. I have a 1-yr old nephew now, so I can have fun with him and then leave the dirty work to mom & dad.

Hey Tom,
No 'tweeking' the PCM long distance. Think I'd best do the dyno thing with you. And your hand's on experience.

I'll call.
