My truck is a ****ing missle and it is all thanks to Vex. I now can lite up my 33's with no problem and can pitch my truck completly sideways on dry pavement with the tires smoking....I think they did a pretty good job.

The 'issue' Vex was having was not a matter of lack of experience in the industry, but rather a lack of times they have done dyno runs on their NEW dyno. It is a completly different dyno then what Uprev even uses, so there was a bit of a learning curve still happening when we were there. That and Franklin has never had a Titan on a dyno or used the Uprev software. Once Jared, who has dyno'd 100's of Titans and help develop Uprev, showed him how Franklin caught on with no problem. When you do something for the first time are you a pro right away????

After awhile they had everything running smooth and I got one hell of a tune!! Yes I was there awhile, but they wanted to make sure they got the best tune for me, Jared said he was impressed with my motor and wanted to see where he could get it. Better then faking some **** and handing you the truck with a half a$$'d tune....I was only charged 3 hrs for my time.

The Dyno Dynamics dyno they have show lower numbers then that of the dyno Uprev uses. I have 187 rwhp on Vex's dyno, however Jared said I am probably around 310 rwhp if I was on his dyno. To put it into perspective, Vex did one of the owner/partner's Duramax a few days before. It has a after market turbo, chipped, and all the goodies on it...it pull about 100 hp more then me...that isn't bad when you take into to account the acheivable HP gains a diesel can get. Jared said if they used a Mustang dyno I would show about 250rwhp.... but #'s count for ****....I lay blackies like a muthafacker now!

Vex is not new to the industry, just to Red Deer. Franklin (the tuner) has been around, I beleive he mentied he lived in Florida and was a tuner there working on Infinity's and Beemers... I'm sure Florida's got a bigger scene then Red Deer. My first visit to the shop there was a G35 with a stroker motor and Greddy twin turbo set up.... that car was in the Calgary car show when we were at Vex...they tuned it the following week...I think that says they know a thing or two in order to do a build like that....or the 2007 Aston Martin Vantage they have lowered and are starting to tune and do mega mods on.....

Anyway, that **** don't mater to me because I am very happy with my experience in Red Deer. Vex has my confidence, enough that I am spending the $$$ to let them make my truck into a beast.
