Default Who's had work done at Synergy?

Synergy Motorsports in Fremont

Just wondering if anyone has taken their car there for work of any kind. They look like a nice shop and have a good website. I've spoken with someone there before and also have heard they work on loads of Corvettes, do power adders, etc.

If you have had your car there, what work was done, was it a good experience, and how was the turnaround time?

They do great work, I have my car there a couple of times and plan on taking it back this or next week for even more stuff!

Rick and crew are just all around good people, and Rick really knows his tuning!

I spent quite a bit of time researching shops in CA and I couldn't find a single negative post about Synergy. As a result, I chose them to do my LS1+T56 conversion into my 78 SE T/A. No, they aren't normally a conversion shop - I think this is their first - at least into an older muscle car. But they seemed pretty excited about it and I was satisfied after talking with them.

I can't give you info on turn-around time nor quality of work on my vehicle since they're just starting now. So let's all wish them the best of luck and God Speed doing my conversion!

Had my car tuned and headers put on with 3" X pipe, dyno'd 360 rwhp - 383 rwtq, maf removed. Car ran a 12.6 @112mph and I had no traction on the street tires. Go back this monday with MT ET streets, looking for 12.3 -12.4 on stock motor.
Rick, definitely knows his tuning!

I've had nothing but excellent results! He tuned my turbocharged truck which ended up being faster than my C5 Vette lol.

I just had him build me a 408............. not to mention all the other numerous times my car has been there. To get "little work" done is one thing....... but it took alot of "homework" on my part to pick who i was going to shell out $12k+ to....... and I chose rick hands down, mainly due to his attention to detail.

SmokeySS don't let ANYONE tell you that any shop is perfect, and doesnt make mistakes....... it's how that person/place of business "makes it right" .... i just wanted to throw that in there

good luck on whatever you decide to do.

I have emailed him regarding a cam and head upgrade. He has replied that he can build a street legal and CA smog exempt set up for 6K. Is this possible?

Mike
