What a weird expression. "The Cat's out of the bag". Do people regularily put cats in bags? I've often pondered this.

Just for the record, Dave is THE BEST tuner around. The things I saw him do with my car were just unbelievable! I can't say thanks enough to Dave and Juan for being awesome at their job and great friends to boot!


Top notch work guys, congrats, this is a huge milestone!

LMAO. Not to scare you but yes they do. Growing up I had a neighbor that would put his cat in a bag and drop it off the roof. Now there's a visual for you.

Great work Dave, Juan... you guys are definitely pushing the often quoted limits of the VQ block without having to invest tons of money into it.

Everyone will benefit from all of your hard work guys.
