Gary, I made no statements to say your side of the story was right or wrong, I do not know what happened there, and personally it is none of my business.
My only statement was that Justin should do his homework before jumping to conclusions.
Hope all is well with Gr8White, is she gonna be at the Fest this year?
Props for Mike Norris! I would trust any car to Mike. He knows his stuff and has integrity that is beyond reproach!
Total Bull Sh*T !!
I took my low mileage Z06 to him for a head and cam and he ruined my car!
The car ran so bad, i ended up taking it to 21 st century muscle cars to get it fixed and they said it was the worst tuning they had ever seen on a car !!!!!
Mike has NEVER offered a penny to correct his ***edited*** up !

Mark - Not sur eif I will mak ethe fest. Since buying the house, I am watchinwg aht I spend. Mortgage is more important than wondering if I will break down on the way..... Oh, you always mistake me for Gary, you know that? Hahahahaha
Ok - I iwll agree that anyone who chooses a tuner, regardless of where it is in the US, should do some research and let their conscious be their guiding light. (Glenn)

Wow...after reading all that, I don't even want a tune...which means it is pretty much pointless to get the intake installed.....confused now.
Oh well...
But, thanks to all for the input. I feel it was very valuable to know the bad, as well as the good experiences.

Don't be discouraged, bro.
Get a hold of FRC Tom and arrange a tune session. Buy your cai and install it before the tune and Tom will take care of you.

Good advice here! Tom was one of the first to get the tuning software for the LS7 and he knows them inside out! NO BS, just great results!

Yes, I agree, no matter what shop you choose you can always find someone that has had a bad experience, there is not a shop out there that does not have its share of disgruntled customers.
FRC Tom is tops when it comes to tuning these cars.
Mdickie, I used Greg's services in Seffner in 2005, great service, results, car ran fine for a year. Then because he was closer to Jax I went to Geoff Skaruppa at Next Level performance to add more go fast parts and he too did/does great work and I was satisfied with the out come service and price; been there twice. When you decide to mod your Z you begin rolling the dice because you are changing the specific engineeried qualities of the car;all of the R&D done by Chevy goes up in smoke to some extent hopefully for the better and the first time to the shop may not be answer, you may have to return until your satisfied. But the difference in performance and the perpetual grin are well worth the chance you take making modifications. Just my 2cents..Go on and do it, do it, Do it till your satisfied!
i did visit antivenom's shop in early spring/Late Winter. Ironically I think i saw your cool looking lambo orange Z06 at the shop. The motor from ur Z06 was torn apart?!
Greg was constantly on the phone. This was prior to my final move to the area and before i made the connection of who he was based on a post i made here and you responded by recommending AnyiVenom to me, fact. I received a couple of private messages here on this site from members warning me of poor workmanship and lengthy down times etc. GR8 White/Glenn was not 1 of the members here that warned me via private message.
I just retired from the Navy in January after 20 years of service. When I realized that Glenn/GR8 White was a fellow Brother who served our country being allegedly ripped off, It p!ssed me off to no end & still does. $4K is a lot of money especially when considering the low compensation we receive while serving our country.
Thank you, ~Justin

On a more positive note, Greg (antivenom) is the ONLY person in FL that i would want to work on my car!
After spending over $120k on this car, i can assure you that i am picky!
First of all thanks to all of those who had kind words to say the least. As with anyone, you will always here the good and the bad and that is what this forum as well as many others is all about. For local folks that way Greg would be a good person to start with for sure.
As far as Ian is concerned, I am not here to sway or dispute anything as we have been down that road way in the past. The issue came up maybe 5 years ago and most likely closer to 6 years and I want to say a lot has changed as far as my tuning abilities since then. If he feels he still needs to hold a grudge and knock me when he can that is his right as it is a public forum. I have talked to John at 21st on several occasions and we have a mutual respect.
I will not get to far into it except to say we agree to disagree and I wish him the best. I just wish he would not attack those that support me. He is very picky as he said and not everyone can satisfy everyone. I did my best at that time and it is what it is.
Tampap999,
Do not get discouraged as you can get overwhelmed and pulled in many directions when seeking info on these forums. Old information can come up and sometimes it is hard to decipher the good and bad for sure. Feel free to give me a call if you want and I can go over things with you. Does not mean you have to come my way and Greg may be a good choice for you and convienent. I do not get over here often, but you can e-mail me at (** Sorry MIke, as a non-supporting vendor I cannot allow any contact information to be posted, please PM that information to Tampa999 **) and I will get you my number. I do not feel I should post it here not being an advertiser.
Best to everyone
Mike Norris
