I've been thinking of which tuner i should go to, to tune my car. I'm pretty much set on Slowhawk since i've heard nothing but good things about him. I also heard awsome things about Fran, Cartek, RPM, and ESP. Can someone tell me there experiences with some of these fellow tuners, Thank You. Btw im coming from North Jersey

I am sure all those sponsors are good.

Slowhawk is the only tuner who touches my car.

Personally I wouldn't drive all the way up here for just a tune on a bolt-on car. Go to a sponsor close to you.

O-ya, I should throw out that only Slowhawks does the work on my car.. Chef- you dink

If you're goint to drive to ESP, you might as well drive the extra hour to Don (Slowhawk).

Don tunes & works on mine as well. I wouldn't think of taking it anywhere else.

Thumbs up

I use Cartek Racing (they're in NJ as well obviously ) for all of the work done on both my Z28 and my Corvette, great workmanship/quality and a truly knowledgable/fun group of guys there.
