Glad to hear the constant great feedback for the folks at Brenspeed.

When I am ready to supercharge in a year or two, they are at the top of my list!

So some value/s needs to be raised. What value I have no idea. Oddly enough, my first tune from them has been ok so far, but my updated one is giving the flashing O/D. :/

Wes @ TPS knows about the issue and how to fix it. Supposedly Doug @ Bama does too, but somehow his tune still did it. :/ http://s197forum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=20406

Other than the O/D flashing issue (which causes screwed up shifting) my Brenspeed tunes have been awesome and I always have and continue to recommend them to everyone. I have bought most of my stuff from them too.

I've heard of this in othe

I was interupted, anywho, I've heard of this happening to other cars that got new cams or any valve train work. cause is some sensor that says if ur knocking/pinging and that you should move it lower somehow...don't take my word though!

The weather was bad, so they let me come up 2 days early and stay in the guest house all week for free. This guest house is amazing, So warm and cozy, I felt right at home. It even has a garage. What other shop would do that free of cost? The people at brenspeed are very nice people to, answered any questions I had, and kept me up to date on my cars progress every step of the way. They even drove to the guest house to pick it up. Not to mention certain discounts I got. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this to my car without these guys. I recommend brenspeed to anyone, they made this a vacation for me. I hope I can visit them again in the future for a supercharger.

Gonna post videos and pictures when I get back to south carolina and away from this crazy cold weather!

Glad to hear your expirence was great and the trip turned into a vacation, give us a call any time when you have questions.
