Very professional service Mr. Dempsey and his team are very knowledgeable when it comes to corvettes and other vehicles. I had my kit put on by them. Great job I highly recommend them for any corvette work.

I've been going to Dempsey (Air Force veteran) for more than 7 years. He and his team (Daniel and Julian) are the only ones I'll trust, not only with my 4 Corvettes, but with my daily drivers, as well. His automotive knowledge (in particular of the Corvette) is amazing and extensive. He's fair, transparent, and trustworthy. He and his crew are masters of their craft. If there is ever a problem with any of his work, he works to make sure it's resolved. Thanks for taking good care of my cars over these years. Aim High Fly-Fight-Win!

I had a vehicle that wasn't compatible with their tuning programs, But Fortunately the Young Man Named Julian that answered the phone quickly without hesitation helped me find the next closer tuner. Very knowledgable young man! Thanks again guys!

In my opinion don't take your LT1 here.I brought my car back multiple times for the same issue. The problem was never fixed. Another big name shop was able to properly diagnose my issue and fix my car within a week.Edit: Dempsey, claiming my review is fake is comical but it's a good conversation starter at car meets. I have my invoice and credit card charge to prove I'm real. I should have sent my car to Pray Performance from the start. Good luck with everything EX CEO of Syndicate of Speed.Service: General repairs & maintenance

This is the only shop I would trust with my Corvette. Dempsey is an expert in his field and an absolute professional. He is the kind of guy who can walk up to a running car and tell you what is going on with the motor before he even pops the hood. He tuned my Z06 when no other shop on the east coast was able to and managed to squeak out almost 800HP with just headers, exhaust and a pulley kit. No matter what improvements you are seeking for your Corvette, he can easily make your dreams a reality. I recommend Evolution without hesitation.

I was very pleased with the work done to my car here. Dempsey is a great tuner and was able to fix all the problems my car was having and got me 428rwhp at the same time. These guys know all about these cars and was able to guide my build with their years of knowledge. I will be returning here with all my corvette business. (Update went back for a full build and got overcharged by about 3k. My fault I should have paid better attention. Also the dyno numbers are incorrect I did cnc ed heads cam full intake and exhaust and made around 450 which after spending 13k made me ask questions only being around 20 hp over cold air and full exhaust but the car was faster so I let it go. Just go to Mike at elite speed and performance. He actually did the work on my car just not the tuning and made good suggestions on things to do. I ended up getting it retuned by Landon who works with him and the car made 486 on a dyno jet and ran better since it was having some drivability issues. Both Mike and Landon know what they are doing and will take good care of you.)

Dempsey is the man! After having a lifter collapse in my Escalade and deleting all the electronic stuff and throwing in a mild cam I needed a tune bad. He came to me and spent hours fine tuning for drivability with stock torque converter. Very impressed by the work and all the questions he answered as it was my first engine build. Highly recommend and will definitely use him again when it's stall time!Service: Auto engine tuning

Parts were switched out on the build with lower quality ones. Parts missing or spray painted. Deadlines never met. Constant lying motor issues and tune wasn t done properly.Didn t make things right and lied about ordering high quality parts and charging. Ended up having to go to another shop to correct everything. Multiple other people in car community reported similar issues and pending legal issues against this shop. Avoid at all costs.

Mr Dempsey, the owner of Evolution, is absolutely awesome. I highly recommend if you own a Corvette that this is the place you need to come to. He has the know-how and the facility to complete any project on your new or old Corvette. I'm sure he could tune or fix probably anything that you brought to him. what I really appreciate is the honesty of this shop they are good people kind of a southern hospitality type of place. You will not go wrong coming here highly recommended I would give more than five stars if I could.

Hands down the most knowledgeable, non-judge mental, and experienced speed/tuning shop I have ever known. Dempsey dialed in my C5z on a street tune, explaining the process, the car every step of the way. During the drive he identified a sound that was a product of my garage header install last weekend. He is a perfectionist that wanted to fix it before I left his shop because he cares about the longevity of every vette he touches - even though the issue was my cause. Sounds sappy, but I felt like I left as a friend not a customer. Look no further, drive from far, this is your guy.

Mr Dempsey did an excellent job tuning my 1998 c5 Corvette. They are good people with a great shop. They have the know how. Highly recommended. I will be using them in the future.

My husband used Mr. Dempsy for his headers and a tune and he did a fantiastic job. He was knowledgeable and super helpful and really nice. He has very good people skills and I would take my vehicles back to him anytime.Thank you again!

Dempsey is a top notch mechanic. Not only does he work on high performance vehicles but everyday drivers. He is honest. He is the only one I will let touch my Vette. And I can promise you, I am VERY picky and have OCD with my car. He is understanding and very patient with me.

Awesome shop. Dempsey and Mike do great work and are great guys. Got a lot of work done on my 95 6 speed. Got engine upgrades in my future. If you have a vette that needs works or you want some awesome mods these are the guys.

94 Corvette convertible was overheating and just not running well. Mike and Dempsey took care of it and at a fair price. They came highly recommended by a fellow Corvette owner and I see why. They are the Corvette guys!

Will not call back; was interested in scheduling dyno tune. Called and no-one ever picked up. Left numerous messages over the course of a week and still no response.Update: Finally was able to reach through FB messenger.

I bought my 91ZR-1 to Dempsey last November to complete what he refers to as the Dragon heart package....I already had headers and top end porting to my Z....Even though it took longer than expected ( problems with the cam grinds) I opted for cams to go along with everything else),I picked up my car last Saturday...I live in NY and took amtrak out to fredricksburgh...Dempsey was good enough to pick me up at the station and take me to the shop....I have to say when I saw my car I was impressed....Dempsey had the entire car detailed using Adams products and it looked great....Even powder coated the motor a nice silver with red lettering ...Came out sharp..I spent basically the next two days in Virginia ripping around on the roads out there 66W,81N,plenty of back roads and even skyline drive......Car performed great no issues....448 to the wheels with 403 torque..So,even though there were some issues along the way , hey it happens,Evolution motors delivered a good product.....Not many mechanics on the east coast that specialize in the ZR-1 platform...Dempsey is someone you can sit down with and discuss where you want to go with your build....
