Finally got a tune from Slowhawk 1.5 years ago after wasting my time at "other closer shops" and it was well worth the 1.5 hr trip. So worth it that I had them do a heads and cam job on my camaro a few days ago. Well worth it man having peice of mind that your car will be handled by a professional.

Pruven in Milford??? That's an evo shop they don't do ls1s or anything American for that matter.

The only place I can think of around here that ik has some ls experience is mongillio motors in new haven.

I've dealt with Jannetty on a number of occasions, nice guy, friendly but he is all business and he tuned my LT1 car a number of years ago, paid out the *** and that is what you get.

His main clientel are guys with money who drop a car off and leave a blank check, and when it comes to guys who do not have unlimited funds, he still charges good $$$.

There are other shops in CT and if your looking for 3 pulls, wait for a dyno day or something, cheap, and they may throw in some A/F to give you an idea.

Slowhawk did right by me last year with a bothersome DTC error and I would recommend you see him.
