Just a quick note to thank you for the tune on my 94 Z Convertible. After I made the mods (ported heads, intake, CAI and headers) the car ran OK. But once you started to do your magic, every iteration was better and better as you honed in on perfection.
Your patience, as I am kind of a rookie, and tuning knowledge has taken my "Z" to a new level.
I think the service you provide is better then a dyno, since it is using "real" driving conditions. It is also over a longer period of time with various driving conditions, not an hour or so.
I couldn't be happier with the results. If/When I do more mods in the future, you'll be hearing from me for the tune. Thanks again.

I want to thank you again for getting me the tune that day. Made the next night a lot more fun with the manual trans in and the proper tune.
Car runs great, no check engine lights and the speedo is right on. No one expects a full size wagon to be that quick.
I know a few people looking to get a tune for their LT1s and you're the one I'm recommending.

The tuning was DEFINITELY worth getting through. I had some mechanical issues--i.e., fuel pressure regulator and O2 sensors that needed to be replaced before we could really get started. My BLMs were way way off.
Solomon knew what components to check and this made the work a lot easier as I just replaced those items and we were off and running. He was very thorough and all together he had me do 7 datalogs and load 5 tunes. The results: My car gets up to 104 mph in the same space where it only got up to 99 mph before. My fuel economy has already improved
3-4 MPG from the tuning and I haven't even checked the mileage on the final tune yet. I'm definitely impressed!!
Solomon really knows this tuning stuff; and, he is a real business professional who gets things done in a timely manner and treats you with extreme dignity and respect.
I recommend him to anyone who is looking for a quality tune at a great price!!

Solomon, thank you very much for working with me to get the car squared away with tuning. The thing would barely idle prior to you tuning it.
Your customer service is top notch and results are even better. I recommend anyone who wants their car to perform to its optimum level, have Solomon tune it. This isn't your ordinary mail-order tuning.
Keep up the good work and thank you once again.

Since I received a tune from you last week my car has been running great, it seemed to take a few miles but after a couple of days the car is running better than I had ever hoped for.
I will most certainly recommend you to my friends, and utilize your services once again when I do a cam swap. Thanks for the great service and great value.

I am very happy with the tune you did for my car. The car only has a few upgrades, but you made it run so much better. I am also impressed about how fast you sent the program.
Before you tuned it, I use to have a surge with driving at slow speeds like in town, when the car was idling you could smell that it was running rich. Also, when I would come to a stop and push in the clutch while the car was still rolling the RPM's would fluctuate for a second, then stabilize.
ALL of these problems are fixed now and I can feel a difference in how smooth the car feels. You did a great job, Solomon. Thanks!

Throttle response from idle was smoother than before, car seemed to hesitate when I tapped the throttle [before]. Now it is smoother. Smooth RPM buildup during entire range.
Just want to say I really appreciate how you run your business, all the personal attention and service beyond the service you are selling (reprogrammed chip). I was self employed for 4+ years and ran my business the same way. So good job and keep it up.

I just wanted to say thank you very much for the great job! My car runs better than it ever has and I couldn't be happier with it.
I can definitely feel more power down low and I seriously surprised my dad with how quick my car is now. I'm very surpised that your tune has made such a difference.
You have an awesome business and I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know and will come back to you for any future projects! There's no way you can beat the price and performance of your product.
Thank you again, and also thanks for staying in touch and giving me tips, I've never had this kind of service with any other work I've had done to my car.

I got the PCM, put it in, and man does it run great. That car has never run that good in a very long time. I couldn't believe how smooth it sounds and how the car is not so rich that it makes you cry.
The tune is great, I can't think of any thing that I could have you change on it, I like it the way it is. And trust me, I will have you do all my tunes as long as you are doing this cause man you know what you are doing.
Thank you so much. The other [tuner] messed it all up, but you got it right on. Thanks for a good job!

The weather finally cleared and I took the car for a spin with the new[est] tune.
All I can say is, what a difference! The car pulls hard and has definitely picked up performance. I can't wait to put some more miles on it this week, it feels completely different and is more fun to drive.
Thanks again Solomon, you have gained a repeat customer!

I took the car for a ride today, and I could feel the difference in the car's response, acceleration, and idle. Those SVO fuel injectors really do make a difference. I had the car up to 6000 RPMs with no problems whatsoever... don't worry Solomon, I'm a retired PO, and I was taught how to handle a vehicle at high speeds.
I think you have done it. My hat's off to you; I am completely satisfied!

I drove my car untuned for quite a while, then had it tuned by Solomon; it shifts better, gets better MPG and runs a whole lot smoother. It's very fast.
I am very happy and would recommend Solomon to anyone who needs a tune that dosen't cost an arm and a leg.

My car is night and day different from when we first started tuning. I can tell you really know your stuff.
It feels like a different car, like it is making great power all around. Before it kinda fumbled from a stop to WOT. Now when I get on it from a stop it makes great power.
I thought it was fast before, but was I wrong. Corvette owners better be on the look out for my T/A.

1994 Caprice Classic LS
A4 Transmission - 2.73:1 Gears
265ci L99 Engine - Iron Heads
At first I didn't think my L99 was even worth getting a tune, because it's only a 4.3L version of the LT1, and there's no replacement for displacement. But, in the end I decided it was worth a shot, because my car had so many problems and always so weak, I felt it deserved a shot to impress before I just replaced the motor.
I heard so much about Solomon's tunes, that I felt he would be the right person to tune the car. I had been in contact with him for a while prior to ordering the tune, kind of preparing for it and stuff. Then just a couple days ago I felt the time was right. Ordered the tune, and the first tune came in nearly only a couple hours later in an email. I loaded the tune and immediately felt a difference. Throttle response increased, shift points were much nicer and aggressive, including the firmness.
I had the timing increased even more manually, removing all spark retard from my PCM (as I have a faulty knock sensor circuit), and going "old school" on the timing, now it's zero spark retard, very advanced, and running top notch.
Dude, you are the BEST. That car pulled out like my friend's LT1 camaro, which is oddly surprising, because I never knew the L99 could do so well. I pulled onto the highway and didn't even gun it, and went from 0 to 55 in no more than 4 seconds...
AWESOME tune man! Thank you so much. Best 65 bucks ever spent on this car bar none.

I was looking to have the EGR and AIR deleted on my '95 Z28 and was absolutely surprised that Solomon was also able to help with another issue I was having [stutter on the highway]. I thought I was going to have to visit a dyno but this was all accomplished through data-logging and customized tunes.
Solomon was in contact with me from the moment the package arrived until the final tune. I really appreciated the excellent customer service. I would recommend him to anyone, he was able to create a tune specific for my '95 Z28 and it runs better than ever.
The car runs smoother than ever and at idle, in gear at 650rpm, it no longer misses. I wasn't looking for performance increase, just to delete the egr/air and to fix the AFR so the stuttering would stop. The vehicle's driveability has improved dramatically. You exceeded the expectations.
In addition to the Z28, I also have a 2007 Mustang and you must purchase an expensive hand held tuner and the tunes that you receive from on line tuning shops are cookie cutter tunes. Solomon has you capture data specific to your vehicle and creates a tune custom for your car. He does that for less than 1/2 the price of the vendors I have used for my Mustang.

Do you have any idea how good you are?
Man, what an improvement Solomon [over a previous tuner's tune]! I got the injectors and the PCM today and put them both in the car. It fired right up and idles the best it has in forever.
The roads here are really wet from all the rain we're getting so I couldn't do much more than take it for a short cruise. I can't believe the difference in driveability. I had a slight cam surge in OD before your tune and now that is gone. The tranny changes like it's a new one. The pickup it has even at part throttle is just great. Just on the short drive I can tell already the gas mileage is going to go up a lot.
I'm one happy man! You have no idea how glad I am to have gotten it touch with you! I can't wait until this Saturday to get it on the dyno to really see what it has (UPDATE: 337rwhp / 330rwtq, SAE corrected).
UPDATE: 1/4 mile time: 12.4 @ 110 MPH.
I just don't know how I can thank you other than to send as much business your way as I possibly can and I've already started doing that.
Thanks again and stay in touch.

I got my tune done after I swapped my 4.3L [L99] to the 5.7L [LT1]. The turn around time was quick.
When I installed my freshly tuned PCM I noticed a HUGE difference from start up to reaching high speeds...
I would definitely do business again and recommend Solomon.

I think you should charge more (help you get those heads done sooner [my Z28 overheated in summer of '08 and I haven't had enough to fix it yet]). From what you mention on your website I assumed you were independently wealthy somehow [I'm not]. I've heard that some other tuners command up to $300 for a similar service. This is the best automotive bargain I know of.
There was a lot more to the process than I expected. I figured for a bone stock application there would just be a few standard tweaks you'd include other than the basic fan settings, shift points, and speedo correction stuff. I ended up making around six logs and installed five [updated] "tunes" to get things just right. I was impressed by the detail of the work involved and the speed of your correspondence.
As a result of the tuning process and your consultation I learned more about my car and discovered and addressed issues that may not have received attention otherwise.
I hope I have an opportunity in the future for another tuning session.
Thanks again.

I recently built a 96 Z28 LT1. I used a bunch of good parts, excellent machine work, and years of experience. It ran OK on the stock tune but I bought a popular hand held programmer to see what I could gain. It was an improvement but still lacking. I tried a Jet DST and it was great! I just didn't know what I was looking at.
I purchased a tune from Solomon and installed it with the Jet Flash utility. I was amazed! I took it through the gears and got out of it around 160 MPH! It was still pumping hard, if the converter had locked up it would probably go 185 or so! Solomon's service is exceptional as is his knowledge of the OBD II workings. I WILL recommend him to my friends, and keep working on my toy!

The shifting is solid, tire-chirping shifts. It runs a lot smoother and most of the engine noise is gone, no cam surging. The minute I punch the pedal... gone.

I downloaded the tune and all I can say is WOW!!!!!! What a huge difference!!! 10,000 times better than it was [from a previous "tuner"]!!! You are a genius at this!
Part throttle and idling is so much better, and idles so smooth! I punched it a couple times and hit 110mph very quick!
Shift points are great especially coming out of lockup and rolling into the throttle. And firmness is perfect.

Wow, what a difference since you tuned my PCM!
My 97 WS6 Ram Air Trans Am is screaming now! I didn't even know my car would move that fast! I don't know what you did, but it's hard not to burn rubber now. When I pulled out of the parking lot at work today, the rear tires were smoking!
The shifting adjustments you made are awesome! It still shifts normally when I'm driving like a grandma, but when I tromp on it to race somebody the car seems to know that I want to hold out for higher RPM's in each gear!
Awesome job Solomon! I'm glad I didn't waste my time and money trying to do that myself. There's like 500 settings you can monkey with, and I wouldn't have a clue where to start.
I'm the kind of guy that likes to have full control over my vehicles and their performance, but I made a wise decision trusting your years of experience in tuning PCMs, and I still feel like I'm in control because I went to the best, I got the best, at the best price out there!
[Before the tune,] I would have to say I was getting around 14 to 15 mpg or less. It just ate gas. Now [after the tune] it is a very slow drain, a VERY noticeable difference on how slow that gas gauge goes down. I'm getting about 19 mpg even with my aggressive driving.
I know you offered me a free adjustment tune if tweaking was needed, but everything is perfect, and I don't think I'll need it.
By the way, I'm also the director of the
Bandit Trans Am Club. So, I know Trans Ams!

I just wanted to let you know that your tune has worked out better than expected.
Not only do you have tons of knowledge about tuning an LT1, but you shared some of that knowledge with me and helped me fix the issues my car was having. The shipping was fast and you have the best prices around.
I will definitely do business with you again after I upgrade my gears, injectors and stall. Thanks again for all the help!

Hey Solomon, I took my wife's car back to the track
and ran my best on motor with the [latest] tune: 12.99@103.78, 1.71 60 foot. Where you were thinking the trans was slipping, I put some Lucas trans treatment in it and it helped it! The car now runs 13.0s repeatedly.

Started up the first time, man does she run smooth for such a big cam, on stock heads that is. I have to congratulate you on that tune, there is absolutely no cam surge. When cruising on the street at any speed it is absolutely smooth. Thanx a lot Solomon, your work is outstanding! I commend you again for tuning out ALL the cam surge!

Actually man, every time I drive it I am more impressed. The part throttle and WOT acceleration is great.
I took a friend out for a ride, got on it up to a lil over 100, and he said he hasn't felt a rush like that since his dad's '98 Cobra that was totally sick. And his dad has a nice '99 Cobra now, and he drives a really fast 306 convertible Mustang!

I think it's fair to say I now have a quick standard LT1 that has not only gained lots of horses but is much smoother and more torquey.
I think your tuning service is a great value and stands out from others since it's tailored to individual cars based on logged data and retuning.
Very pleased with the results, thanks again.

I have a little monster LT1 that I bought a couple years ago. It was moderately built and running consistent mid 13's. That first winter I garaged it and sunk a lot of money. Anticipating 12's the next racing season I was soon disappointed only to be in the mid to low 13's.
Bottom line. The computer didn’t know what to do with all that stuff. It wasn't until I ventured across Solomon’s web site that I was happy again. After ordering a tune, he did his magic that he does so well and got me quickly into the 12's with the possibility of high 11's on the horizon.
Solomon is a wonderful guy to work with and has an endless wealth of knowledge when it comes to these types of cars.
Thanks to Solomon I went from a little monster to a MONSTROSITY.

I am super happy with my tune, the tune is A+++++. My car screams, but this thing is great on the street. Thank you so very, very much.
[At 1/8 mile drag strip] I ran 8.34 @ 86mph / 1.98 60ft. I was super happy with the trans and shift points, the [weather] conditions were not good for getting good times.
Thanks again for a great job on the tune.

Between LT1 PCM Tuning and myself, my Formula LT1 is running great. He got me my tune quick and has worked with me to fine tune it.
I would have never guessed that there are so many things that I have control over my car and things you can do to get it to run at its peak performance.
I haven't dyno'ed it yet but I can tell you that it pulls great from idle up to red line.
Also, I have won 3 races out of 3!

I had no idea how much difference the computer tuning would make to my horsepower numbers until I was nearing completion on my first LT1 383 build. These motors have so much potential, and with a good tune, you can dial them in and make sure that your car is the King of the Road.
Thus far, I have been working with Solomon when it comes to tuning my computer. When I finished the build, the computer had no idea what to do with all of those mods, but with Solomon's expertise, we have changed my "mild" 383 build from a slug to a sledgehammer.
He did all of this for less than one fourth the cost of a good camshaft. Now that is a good investment. Instead of spending all of my time trying to figure out a million different possible adjustments, I have tapped into Solomon's wealth of knowledge so that I can spend all of my time enjoying the exciting ride that my car now provides.
In addition to the great service that Solomon provides, he genuinely cares for the people he works with. I would highly recommend Solomon's service to anyone who really wants their car to perform, yet doesn't want to spend years getting it to that point.

Following a fairly major upgrade to my stock LT1 Trans Am (cam, heads, injectors, MAF, headers, etc) I was in need of a custom tune. I found Solomon on the internet and from my initial inquiry to the final tune Solomon provided a first class service.
As we progressed through the process of unlocking the power in the engine each tune he sent me would register on my "seat of the pants" dyno and the logs backed it up. He turns around logs with a new tune in a matter of hours and his knowledge, both mechanical and as a tuner, are very impressive.
The HP and torque figures on the final tunes (375 rwhp / 400 rwtq) are proof of what he can do and I would recommend to any enthusiast out there if you're looking for a tune and a tuner, look no further.
Above all of this though is his friendliness and wanting to get the best out of your car for you.

I have been driving that 4.3L L99 Caprice car you tuned and my gas mileage is way, way better. I am actually getting over 30mpg on the highway now. My last tank average was at 29mpg. The power level is about the same but the mileage is incredible for a 4,000 plus pound car.

I've purchased the TunerCat software as you suggested and am practicing on the V6 just to get the feel for the software.
