I'm in San Jose, CA and I will need to find a new shop that can tune an LS3 with a cam.
The shop I used to go is no longer in my area.

Can anyone help with throwing out some shops that are legit and good at tuning.

Thanks,
Mike

Yeah. They are a bit to far. And me and rick had a falling out 10years ago

Is there a place closer to San Jose?
I remember a guy that was part of ZR1 racing was able
To tune cars.
Is he still around?

Sounds like you may want to consider www.NOT-A-SPONSOR.com.org.gov.net.edu in Campbell like someone mentioned above. I considered going to them to tune my ported/pullied Lightning, but have no personal experience; but they are close.

Also interesting about the bad blood with Synergy, I am in the same boat.

I will give them a call on monday. and they wouldbe right around the corner from me. So I can and bang some gears.

As for the bad blood. It happened about 7? years ago. You find out who your real friends are. But thats all in the past. and no one should live in it. Just learn from it.

Can anyone recommend a spot that doesn't charge over $500? Or is that the going rate nowadays?

I'm with you on this my friend. What's a good price for It?
I don't even think goodies charges that much. N they are $135 an hour.

$550 is the going rate for a top notch tuner. Rick has years of experience which commands that price.

Sucks that you guys had a falling out.

Yeah, he does know his stuff. But I was the guinie pig when he first started. ended up blowing the motor he built cause it was to lean.

But I dont think it was really between us. I think it was more of our woman that caused it. lol.

Women and racing friends do not equal a solid mixture. lol.

Maybe make amends lol...It sucks that we don't have more knowledgeable and competent tuners in our area
