I had some built up vacation so I decided to work on the SHO on a few of my days off and boy was it worth it! First impression after installing the 3 bar tune was holy s*** why did I wait so long before tunning!?!? The car pulls excellent all the way through the rpms and it's got me curious on track times now. I'm hoping to do some data logging for him soon so I can take full advantage of my setup but need to research on the entire process first.

Thought I would share my positive experience with Unleashed tuning and encourage anyone who may be on the fence about tuning their car. He makes it a trouble free experience and is extremely quick getting back to you with any questions you may have

Thank you for the feedback, glad you are pleased so far.

Not a problem man and thanks again for your tune! Once I find some info on logging I'll be back in contact with you for some revisions.

Wow, small world! The wife and I head to Edwardsville pretty often actually. Do you ever go down to Gateway for some passes?

Congrats on the purchase it will be well worth it trust me!

The car was already in the shop to have rear mufflers replaced with resonators and different tips so I had the downpipes installed the same time. The guy i went through has done previous vehicles of mine and always does great work at an unbeatable price.

It is! I have not been to gateway with the MKS yet. Maybe you can get some revisions done and we can go to midnight madness. It's a week from this coming friday. I also wanted to go to one of the smaller 1/8th mile tracks where you can get a bunch of runs in and practice your launch.

I'll have to play it by ear since we have a little one at the house but I'm hoping to make this one! Worst case I'll get some passes in before revisions but should be fun regardless. I haven't made any passes in this car either but I'm not stranger to Gateway. I had a tbss before this which I ran quite often. I also have a 02 mustang that's made several passes as well. If I go I'll look for you man!

Same here man, I don't get out to play as much as I'd like with a 16 month old. Check out the SIUe Car Enthusiasts Facebook page, it will keep you up to date on all the local events.
