Dr. Phil?????
I might be buying a car that Dr. Phil put a procharger in about 2500 miles ago, and tuned car. What do you guys hear about his installs and tunes? also no intercooler? i thought all good installers stress intercoolers be installed... anything to look for with prochargers? better then vortechs right? thanks guys...

Phil does top notch work. He built my entire car (turbos, tune, etc).
I find it *VERY* hard to believe that Phil would recommend a ProCharger to anyone for any reason.
Link to the car?

And if anyone has ever talked to him via email, he's got the shortest answers on the forum..
Yup, Nope, Dont Do that, I told you so, Yur an idiot, and Oh gawd you didnt do that did you..... 
For some reason he uses ALL of those comments together in every one of my emails.

You'll get nothing but top quality work from Phil, I've got a stock motor LS1 running in the 10s thanks to Phil. I can tell you from personal experience his support is second to none and takes no short cuts no matter what part of the vehicle he's working on.

I don't think he's ever called me an idiot (except behind my back), but he said my posts have too many words.

I'll let you guys in on a little Dr. Phil secret:
He actually says a lot...you just have to listen to what he says!!!!!! Something (listening 5X more than speaking) that a lot of Vette guys have a very difficult time with and have to/had to learn (myself included).
Another hint: Never say, well "my other tuner says...(fill in the blank)" or "I read on the forum..."
Here is too a guy that has never failed to deliver exactly what he says he will deliver (99% of the time more).

When he speaks, they listen. Thats for sure.
Oh man I got my fair share of those.
Agreed! He's super realistic. I don't know how many times I see shops on the forum promise something to their customer and fail to come through. Not the case with Phil.
All in all, it was a pleasure to work with Phil on my C6TTZ06. This was my first extreme built. He was patient with me though I probably nagged the sh*t out of him at first. I'm very glad he took my project and made it out to be what I wanted and If I had to do this all over again Phil would be the ONLY person I'd go to.
Thanks Phil.

Hah, last time I was out there to pick up my car, he was spraying weed killer on his lawn.
Is this a motor-head appropriate activity?
Never seen any rusty cars up on blocks in the yard, never seen any beer. No "wife beater" shirt. Makes me wonder if he could possibly know anything.
In contrast to his emails and posts, in person, he dumps so much information that you wish you had a couple of helpers taking notes.
Now why did he come at me threateningly with the weed killer? I couldn't possibly be his most challenging customer, could I?
Hey Phil, got my E-85 fuel system together yet?

He's great though - even when I had my ProCharger he would drive all the way across town just to help me with a belt swap.
