Default MN: Places for a Tune?

Hello all! I am looking for a good place for a tune in MN. I live on the north side of the metro area and am looking for somewhere to bring the camaro to have it tuned folloiwng headers, y pipe, catback & ls6 intake install. I assume it would be wise to have it tuned??? Any idea on cost?

Thanks,
Derek

Carl. CJTunes. He's the best LSx tuner in the cities.

http://cjtunes.com/

IIR he's probably around 4-500 for a tune but call him to be sure.

Do NOT go to Hitech motorsports, their staff has changed over a bit in the past few years. I wouldn't bring my lawn mower to them. I have a few buddies that have had extensive work (procharger install and tune, and a cobra motor/procharger build.) One runs horrible all the time, and the other made it less than 100 miles before their "bulletproof" 5.4 motor went to **** due to some oil galley plug they forgot. I have heard good stuff from cjtunes. I tune my own stuff, but don't like tuning for people I don't know and can't spend more than an hour or two on.

Anyone here use Doug Rippie in Buffalo? I have spoken with two guys who had some work done, and they were pleased.

I'm doing a H/C this winter and would like to know as well. Carl is on my call list.

Sorry, never mind. Found several other discussions on DRM.

Carl at Lancer Service in St.Paul is probably one of the best LSx tuners in Mn. Cannot go wrong at all!

I agree, back in the day they did a decent job. But now, I wouldn't even think about going to them. I've heard some bad stories about them recently. And, one was from the previous owner of my car and his C5. No idea how they stay in business.
