Default Need help finding tuner in North Jersey.

I have a carb'd Ls1 and I am looking for a good tuner/dyno shop in North Jersey that can work with LS stuff and Carburetors, anyone have any recommendations for me? I know a friend who went to TTP which is close to me but he had a bad experience there so I wanted others opinions. Thanks!

TTP is long gone.

I'd suggest calling and speaking with all of these guys and finding the one you're comfortable with. With that said, "around here" you have Cartek and Sick Speed Performance. Both of those are about 30-40 minutes from Bergen County.

If you want to drive a bit further, your options open up proportionally.

Charlie from SSP doesn't work with Carburetors, but Julio from Cartek has tuned for one of the baddest Pro Mods on the planet. Both Carb and EFI.

i hear good things about them. Is matt the only tuner? Are they open to individuals who build their own projects? Do you find his tunes to be conservative or aggressive? Sorry for all the questions
