My experience with England Green.
I have a 2003 c5z. LG street headers, no cats, b&b bullets. A month ago I installed g5x3 camshaft, comp 921 spring kit, callaway honker and a 160 t-stat, self install in my garage.
I have been through the ringer with trying to get this car tuned by another shop
. I made an appointment with EG and got it tuned today. Wow is an understatement. This car drives incredible now. Stephen gave it a "street tune" which means using a wideband and driving it around to get the driveability where it should be. The old tune was a mess, so he started from scratch. Now, this car drives so good it is scary. The g5x3/112 is know to hop/chug/lurch under 1500 RPMs. I drove home lugging it around in 6th gear at 1100-1200 RPMs without any surging.
Stephen and Jason are in the process of moving to a new, larger shop and their new load-baring dyno is not installed yet. Stephen did not want to get arrested by sounding off my B&Bs at 6500 RPMs in Houston so we are going to wait until the dyno is in to put the finishing touch on it. That said, his "safe" street tune, the car feels incredibly faster in the mid range than the other "dyno tune" I had.
If this isn't enough, I have never meet nicer guys. It was more like drinking beer and hanging with friends than going to a speed shop and waiting on your car. Hands down, this was the best shop experience I have ever received ... from the first phone call to today, was just awesome. Absolutely can not wait for the final WOT / dyno tuning.
Stephen and Jason, if you guys read this, thanks again for making her run like she should

I'll second that motion. We're fortunate to have their services here in Houston.

I have to agree with all....My EG Whiplash with all the goodies is an absolute blast to drive.. 
We miss having the shop here in Florida. The tune that was done on my car is top notch.
Again my thanks to the EG gang

It was so nice to have his shop 40 min from my house. Stephen did some great work to my Vette. I think he has the record time for pulling a A4 tranny, 43 min.
