Just had my dad's 02 SS dyno tuned at wheel to wheel on Friday. Very professional place. You won't be disappointed with them. I will be going back to have work done on my car. Rich who tuned the car really knew his stuff and took his time doing it right!

Give Livernois Motorsports a call, they are an outstanding place to deal with and great tuning!

Kirks place is now called shuller motorsports (not sure if it is spelled right) and they are located in sorrentino court. Take harper to shook road and turn east, turn south on union lake road and then west into sorrentino court. It is right across from Katech. His number is still *REMOVED* As mike c said he has easily tuned over a 1000 cars, mine being one of them. i had a tune at livernois and didnt like. didnt feel like they got all the loose ends out as kirk did. Ive also heard great things about W2W.

i feel kirk is the best in michigan. the guy knows his shi* and your right it is called shuler racing now(i for got)# is the same. take your car to him you will be happy you did. remember it is a mustang dyno so the bragging #'s will not be there,but the real ones will.

Actually Kirk's shop is still called Vector Motorsports and Schuler just does all the bolt on work. You can find their website at *REMOVED* with all the contact and address info.

not happy with kirks tune....you must have something on your car that isn't working. this guy has gone out of state to tune cars nobody else could get tuned. kirk has tuned everyone i know and 4-of my set ups flawless. my g5x4 cam has no bucking at 1,400rpm's,drives almost like a stock cam(with more power) and no cold start up issued ever on any cam ever. i'm going to ask about your car and see what his responce is,if he remembers since i don't have a name????????

Yeah, I just got an email from him.
It was about a year and a half ago
when I called him he said it would be $200 more to fix the tune. I said forget it.
He pretuned it for the new engine start-up then dyno tuned it after 500 miles.


I don't need it fixed now. I got efi live and have since fixed the issues

Shuler Racing and Vector Motorsports are two different entities. They just share a building. They lease Katech building #3 from us.

Give Hardcore Racing a call... These guy's are LS1 Pro's. Built the 383 I have in my car which makes 568RWHP. Not cheap though...

I have NEVER charged anyone to fix a tune I have done.
Glad your car is running good though.

Really? I've heard nothing but good around here about them. They just did my buddys 02' Firehawk, they put a blown 6.0 in it, its a one of a kind! The car is done absolutley beautiful, as is my motor. You might be correct though, I dont know. Have you had a bad experience with them?
