"I just did a track day Monday... The car was wasting everyone in the straights (thanks Rick!!! the tune is perfect)" - T.R. - Washington, August 2006

"I installed a Lingenfelter CAI, BB headers and BB X-pipe exhaust and the car felt much faster. When I finally broke down and did the Stealth Tune it was incredible. It's as if the power was always there (of course it was) it just needed a good tune to wake it up. The car rev'd so much faster than before I was constantly hitting the rev limiter and had to relearn to drive and how to shift MUCH faster. I could share more stories, but Rick stood behind his product 100% every step of the way and honestly his was my most trouble free mod. If you're on the fence, then I don't know what would be able to shake you off at this point as the threads praising Rick's work are too numerous to mention. If you don't do it, your V will never run as smooth, quick and powerfully as it was meant to. You truly are missing out without it. "  - C.P. - Virigina, March 2006.

"What a class act... What else can I say? If someone could bottle that shieat eatin' grin when you press the whine pedal.... Rick's come pretty darn close.." - D.S. - California, March 2006.

"Last week, 1badcady was swapping ECUs...one with the Maggie tune, one with Rick's tune. I was able to drive and sample both tunes. I can now honestly say that the StealthV tune is very noticeable, smoother, crisp throttle response, and pulls very well.  Sometime back I ordered HPTuner$ and was out to build myself a better mousetrap, they were slow with shipping and I had a change of heart about my V, eventually I cancelled the order. During the wait, I researched as much as possible and learned what was needed to make a proper tune...a great deal of time, money, miles, and more time and money. Based on the test-drive of 1badcady's StealthV tune, I can honestly say that the driveability improvements that Rick has dialed-in are certainly worth the money. Even if the tune didn't make 1hp more up top, I would still do it. It's that nice. Perhaps I'll be able to work with Rick should a certain Maggied Vette find it's way to my garage....same engine...same blower... Good work, Rick...your Kung-Fu is certainly good."  "I can definitely vouch for that. I was in 1badcady's car last week and I still can't believe how well it's tuned for the street. Excellent work Rick. " - J.M. - New York, March 2006.

"Rick ROCKS, and he's going to want to shoot me. Headers are on the way, more stupid q's from me, another reflash, I think my 3rd. Rick if your watching = i'm sick, I can't help myself. E-mails coming soon. I'm really sorry man. Someday, some how, I'll repay all you guys for all you've done for me and my car, Stealth, Wild, CVP, Urb, Reed, Lasstss. Thanks guys."  - R.P. - Kansas, March 2006.

"Rick diagnosed my situation with symptoms I provided (he tuned me for headers as I requested, but I hadn't put them on yet, and it was having a brief hesitation and wouldn't start on the first crank plus I had given him a remanufactured PCM). So, he loaded the tune into his own car, drove it, and reassured me that all was well. Well, I got one header on (the other side goes on tomorrow), and it already runs better. 1/2--> The point is, Rick won't leave you hanging when the check clears. His response to my emails was very quick, and I never felt even close to being abandoned. Further, if anyone is on the fence about getting his tune, take it from me (and probably a whole bunch of others), Rick treats you like you a good businessman should: he services his customers and makes everything right! Plus, his tunes work!!!" - R.F. - Michigan, March 2006.

"Unparalleled customer service!!!!!!!! I wish GM would take some lessons from him." - J.E. - California, March 2006.

"When I did my Maggie install my PCM locked up and would not take the Superchips install. Rick sent me a PCM with the Superchips tune installed. We are now experimenting with improvements to the StealthPower tune. He provides customer service like no other business I've seen in decades. He is the consummate professional and we are lucky to have him."  - G.M. - Kentucky, March 2006.

"Rick at StealthV is a superb professional and we are lucky to have him working on our Vs. He provided new tunes for my Maggie. It has a speed shop custom grind cam that we have no information about, so the tuning was difficult. I lost count of how many tunes Rick sent me, whenever I told him what the car was doing he quickly responded with a new tune.  For some reason some tunes worked and others didn't. We spent lots of time going back and forth, and it turns out the problem was not due to his tune. He noticed on the log files that the timing was retarded whenever the throttle was opened, and the car thought the intake air temperature was minus 60 deg. Rick suggested the MAP sensor was bad.  I dropped the car off at a Corvette shop today. When I described the problem I was told this is happening with lots of Vets, bad MAP sensor. So Rick was right.  The problem is subtle and easy to miss. The car generates full power after half a second. The timing is retarded then comes back. So you get a poor throttle response, less fun driving, but when you floor it all seems OK.  In closing, Rick doesn't give up and keeps working with you till it is right, no matter how long it takes." - J.L. - Maryland, March 2006.

"WOW.................Re-installed my PCM tonight after StealthV's track tune. I must say excellent job for a "by mail PCM tune job". Car has noticeable gains, stronger pull and has eliminated my Corsa pop/backfire that before StealthV's was quite evident even between shifts. I highly recommend his tunes as I am sure you all will enjoy its benefits. If you can do it..........Do it !!!!!!!!!  Redline it .....its the only way to go !!!! " - M.P. - Conneticut, August 2005.

"I got my StealthPower tuned PCM installed back in my car...and WOW! It's AWESOME! Thanks Rick!!!!!!!!!!! Sunday...I'm taking it to the So. Cal ModFest meet so everyone local that shows up can check it out and see the difference for themselves. Definitely worth the money!!!" - M.S. - California, August 2005.

"Installed the PCM and took the car for a ride. Holy crap - it's insane. Will spin the tires on command in first, second, or even third gear. The V is now a beast.  The cooling fans stay on and do a good job of cooling down the engine compartment.  Thanks - nice work" - G.T. - Maryland, August 2005.

"The TrackPower tune is truly excellent. So excellent, in fact, that I now need a second tune for my wife's new (just bought it yesterday) 2005 V." - J.D. - Florida, August 2005.

"Thank you again for the custom tune, as I am very impressed with the car's performance.  I have absolutely no regrets, and would do it again, just sooner!  Thank you." - D.S. - Florida, August 2005.

"Thanks.  The changes you made were immediately apparent.  I love the "lightened" flywheel.  Shifting is now a subconscious act with the revs falling quickly enough to match the next gear without slowing the shift." - D.A. - Washington, August 2005.

"Buy the StealthV tune. Do it now. I no longer know for sure that the UUC shifter is my first mod recommendation.  I put a Maggie and a Corsa on at the dealer. Big difference in pull when I put my foot into it. Then I had it dyno tuned at a pretty reputable shop. Lots of runs at wide open throttle. Got up to 482 HP/453 torque at the wheels. But that's at the top of the curve.  Got Rick's tune this week. It makes the car pull down low, where we drive most of the time. I'm guessing that the average V will benefit from his tune at WOT too, if it hasn't been dyno tuned before. But I'm here to tell you that there's a huge amount of fun to be gained lower down... My car has more torque off the line, and feels more alive. This is fun.  Plus, temps stay lower and the fans stay on after I shut off the car. Cool = power = good. The A/C compressor automatically turns off at WOT. Idle is at 650 and smooth. The Corsa fart/pop is gone. " - J.A. - California, August 2005.

"Sweet success! And what a lively tune it is...packed on about 50 miles today and it is a different car. Much more responsive. Thanks again for all your effort." - D.K. - Ohio, August 2005.

"This tune is great on the street. It pulls real strong and so smooth I'm really impressed with it. The car runs super in every situation, every gear, at any rpm... It also has a couple really neat added features that my Westers tune didn't offer. Well done... Just got back from the dyno and I have to say, StealthV knows how to tune a CTS-V.. Very nice numbers and a nice safe air fuel ratio. ...it made 384 hp and 383 tq...Not bad at all.  At the track I made my goal for the night - 12.993 seconds @ 108.12 mph...The StealthV tune rocks..." - B.J. - Maine, August 2005.

"...reinstalled the PCM with the TrackPower^NA tune this afternoon and took a short test drive. My initial observations are that the Corsa pop is gone, better (reduced) idle speed, the electronically lightened flywheel makes shifting smoother, throttle response is quicker, there is more power as evidenced by significantly longer burnouts and I believe quicker trips to redline, although I haven't timed myself. I also like having the fan run for a while after stopping. The TrackPower^NA tune is an excellent product at a good price and makes driving the V even more fun. Great job!"- J.D. - Florida, August 2005.

"Got mine today. All I can say is wow. It's everything I wanted and everything everyone said it would be. The car pulls hard, all the way to redline. I've got a shift light, throttle response is awesome, no torque management and it idles like a muscle car should. Since you have done my tune my average gas mileage has gone up from about 14.9 to 18.0 mpg in the V. Thank you for everything and I appreciate the extra attention that was given to everything." - L.M. - Texas, August 2005.

"yeah, it puts some frishizzle in your nizzle fo shore" - M.M. - Texas, August 2005.

"Whee!....installed StealthV's tune tonight, it's great!  It pulls much stronger, I noticed it pulls 1-3 skip shift like 1-2." - D.S. - California, July 2005.

"Great tune, and StealthV is great to do business with. ...bumped up my rev limiter at my request, and the fans come on earlier to keep the V at the 195 range. The car pulls hard to 7K with only my bolt on mods. When you're idling at 650 rpm, my car from behind sounds very low, but to any gearhead, they will know you are not stock. LOL. A low rumble of an idling 6000HP freight train locomotive comes to mind. I think I scared a few potential racers away after they crept up in there Rustangs, and heard the car idling...Love it!" - W.P. - New York, July 2005.

"A few weeks ago Rick returned my PCM after doing an "UrbanPower^NA" tune. ...my car feels quicker and sounds meaner at idle now. I have noticed that the car responds more quickly to throttle changes, and it runs cooler as well. The cold engine progressive rev limiter takes a little getting used to, but now that it is activated, I realize that I haven't been as kind to the car in the past as I should have been..." - J.S. - Ohio, July 2005.

"The StealthV tune earns and a from me. Those of you who decide to go with StealthV will quickly understand that this is no normal tune. It's much more detailed than you can imagine. After answering 31 questions, 26 of which are performance and mod' specific, I sent my PCM off to StealthV. I was late getting my PCM to UPS for the overnight shipping so it was late getting to Rick. Not to worry, Rick went the extra mile and made sure it made it back the SAME DAY! Anyone who knows the agony of being without your V can empathize.  Now for the good stuff. Without giving away too much proprietary information with regard to the tune let me just say this..............whoa! Many parameters are changed to improve drivability and performance and ALL of them are noticeable.  Top end, from 3,000 rpm's up to my new (super secret) redline is amazing. It was 89* today and the car felt like it was breathing 20* cooler air. The V NEVER went above 194* water temp even with extended spirited, high revving runs thanks to the Stealth tune. The lower idle makes for a nice rumble at stop lights and no more CAGS or CAGS lights. Me likey!" - C.P. - Virgina, June 2005.

"I couldn't be happier with this tune. I've put 200 or so miles on the car since reinstalling the PCM. The car hauls ass, drives great, same mpg. You can tell that a ton of miles went into these tunes. It shows big-time! To you guys out there thinking you HAVE-TO have a dyno tune, not needed! My car is fully customized to MY specs I gave to Rick. StealthV WildPower Maggie Tune = Most Bang For Buck." - R.P. - Kansas, June 2005.

"Put it this way. Compared to the stock Maggie tune, I've found nearly a second on 3rd gear runs." - B.G. - Nevada, June 2005.

"Talk about waking up the car! I've been running with my Maggie for about 2 weeks and had StealthV install his "WildPower" tune yesterday. The improved exhaust note and lightening fast throttle response from the tune are intoxicating. Too bad it rained really hard today and the roads are all wet but I'm still having a blast." - R.R. - Michigan, April 2005.
