Lidio is a butt sucking leach and only does a good job on high dollar cars. I have no idea why everyone is on his nuts. He may be cool to talk to to some people but I've seen 3 cars come out of his shop running like crap.

my experience, last year had lidio installed my vortech, small leak from the oil pan tap. a couple weeks ago had him install my aftercooler, leak around opening and one of theresevoir connections. when i slow down without my clutch in the engine kinda backfires. you would think with the kinda money i spent on this whole vortech thing i shouldn't have any problems. easily taken care of problems but when your 4 hours away it's a little hard to just drop by and get them fixed.

well what he sucks on his own time is his business but he tuned one of my stangs and did a vortech install on a buddy of mines mustang and there were no issues on either cars, nothing but good experience with him. Heres another place in michigan that specializes in mustangs

I'm not a fan of him... You should post this question in the regional area. You'll get more responses there.

I've heard of a few people getting screwed by Lidio, and a few that are happy. I called him for a gear swap and he was outrageously expensive, he said I "had to have a tune to get a gear installed" Funny guy that Lidio...
