Do a search in this forum for tuning threads, you'll never finish reading them. This same tired old subject comes up weekly, they always turn in to a nut swinging fest.

ACE Racing Transmissions and Xtreme Horsepower, in North Richlands Hills are introducing a Transmission Only Tune for only $250.00.
This service will include a visual inspection of the Transmission, Drive Shaft and Rear Axle assemblies by ACE.
This tune does not involve dyno time as it is not necessary.
However, it is best to bring the car and not just the PCM (as some have requested) as we will definately need to drive the car in order to make sure we get it right!
Call for details and to schedule yours today!
By appointment only.

It may be perceived as a "waste of money" to some. That's ok.
However, think about it guys... would you rather have your Transmision tuned by a Engine tuner who has transmission experience or a Racing Transmission Company in conjunction with a Engine Tuner, who together have many hundreds of hours of seat time Tuning in many, many different cars and combinations, not only on the dyno but at the track and on the street as well.
I am not taking anything away from any Tuners skills, and never would. Tuning is a very difficult task at best. It takes years to become adept at Tuning todays powertrains. I know this because I was tuning engines at the New Car Dealership level when Fuel Injection was 1st mass produced in the early 1980's. Back before we had software based line item tuning. I was a Master Certified Technician for well over 20 years at that level and have a very keen understanding of what it takes to not only make a 4L60E shift when it should but make it shift in such a manner as to promote longevity of the unit.
Take the time to get to know us before you pass judgement is all I ask. When you do you will soon find the value in what we are doing! We know this industry is full of Snake Oil Salesman. We would not offer this product if we did not think there was a need or demand for it. Plain and simple. Why pay $400.00 or more to fix a transmission condition after powertrain upgrades when it is just not necessary!
Give us a call and we'll see what we can do for you!

Brian tuned my car and it is great. Car makes 409 on motor with rpm 5 and stock 5.3 heads.
Aren't you the one who dropped the bolt inside his intake? jw.
