Who is Lidio, and why is he the best? Would it be worth the drive to Detroit for some 4.10's and a tune, or can that be done right the first time in the MD area???:confused:

He(Lidio) can send you a tuner via mail. If you want your car dyno tuned by him,you will have to drive there. A good mechanic should be sufficient to install the gears. I prefer his tune , by the transmission behavior.

I've been out there three times. Twice to have him work on my car and once just to visit. Was it worth it? Every mile! I am going back next August weather I need work or not! :D

BTW, I am in N/E Maryland.

Swoosh, I had work done at Lidio's shop last November and after that experience I will not have anyone but them touch my car for performance work. Period. They are well worth the drive, its about 550 miles for me from just south of Baltimore but its easy highway travel. Heck, I drove out there one weekend just to hang out at the Trilogy open house! His work is top notch and he is a true professional and his knowledge of these vehicle is unsurpassed. I don't know of anyone who has come away from his shop less than completely satisfied.

Those tailpipes and delete tips are just grand!!!

You should see the necks snapping around when I stand on it. I'm gonna have to get a chiropractor to sponsor me!!:D:D:D

Whose Lidio?
The guy who'll make your car run right.... that's who!

Dayum. Please tell me what has been done to the exhaust. I love that sound. That's the best sound on any car video I've seen on the net.

I bought an Xcal from Mr. Long and had Lidio redo some tunes for me. I love the results and I have 3 to choose from.

Let's not forget he's Paisan too!

Seeing your car run on the track before and after you went to Lidio, it was like night and day.

Stainless works headers Jet hot coated
Magnaflow 3" cats
H-pipe
2 1/2 exhaust to 18" magnaflow mufflers by Mervines Exhaust, a local shop in Reading PA
Grand Muffler mandrel bent tailpipes
Megs resonator delete tips, stock size.
All fed by Trilogy #132 and tuned by Lidio... what you see on the video was from 8/16/07 the 2nd time he tuned my car.
I went up last year with a part throttle ping and 21 mpg hwy, I left with no ping at all, more power and grunt and 23mpg hwy.
