Nothing really local. Slowhawk in Mass would be your best bet.

Don't waste your time with anyone in CT. Give Slowhawk a call.

I know this is an old post but it will help anyone using their mighty search function!

Got my '00 Z28 dyno tuned by Ed at Pro Edge Tuning in Wallingford, CT. I previously (2.5 yrs ago) installed TSP 1 7/8" LTH with an ORY and did a mail in tune by Frost. Finally forced myself to get the car dyno tuned. I read lots of good reviews about Mongillo Motors and found out that they are now called Pro Edge Tuning. Billy tunes the Fords and Ed tunes the LS/LTs.

Anyway, glad I got the car tuned because the car was running an average AFR of about 15 and it was really spiking up at WOT. That was the first thing Ed fixed, which brought the car from 309 rwhp to 328 rwhp. Then he found out via my TPS that my throttle was only opening 82% when the pedal was to the floor. Ed adjusted that then made a few other tweaks to the tune and the car made 341.7 rwhp at 5874 rpm. The only mods the car has that would affect rwhp are an SLP lid with a K&N filter, polyurethane motor mounts, the TSP LTHs with ORY, and no muffler. The tune was done on a Mustang Dyno and my rear tires are 275/40ZR18s.

I am really happy with Pro Edge Tuning overall. My car sounds better, performs better, is running MUCH healthier, and might even get better gas mileage. My goal was to get at least 325 to the rear wheels. At 341 hp/ 322 ft-lb of torque, I'm crossing that off the list.

To be honest I still haven't found a decent shop, I think don at slowhalk is alright but over bragged about in this form. I found out they charged me for something I know they didn't do bc I personally had to change it and I have also tried another tuner and the car drives better in the lower rpm range. That being said, don did help me get on the right track w/ the car.

Think I'm going to try JTM motorsports in LI for my next tune
