Default Need a tune in DE, MD, PA, NJ area other than F-Body Central

I got F-Body Central's number from someone at the track but he said they are kind of high for a tune and I read a little bit of stuff on them.

So looking for someone within like 50-60 miles of me to do the following since my mods:

- Fan on/off adjustment
- Delete rear 02's and clear codes
- Adjust shift points
- Raise rev-limiter
- Dyno tune with WB02 to lean out and raise timing

I guess a full tune you could say.

I'm not sure if you found anyone yet, but I know a tuner in Delaware who does an alright job. He's located off I-95/I-495 in Northern Delaware.

His name is Fran, and he owns Race Proven Motorsports. Did anyone mention him yet?

another recommendation for Fran at RPM he tuned my 01 Trans Am and it is running great 428 RWHP. He is a great guy to deal with and knows his stuff.

Brett does great work and i said to him before to get away from FBC.... he was dead on with my 346, with the 383 there was alot left on the table.... i would have came back to him cause he is good at what he does, but its the shop that left a bad taste in my mouth. especially when they dropped my car off the lift... enough said

Well, thanks for clearing my name up! I wish it was that easy... my long range plan is to leave this area all together, and then maybe I can have a shop of my own doing only tuning... some day!

Fran at RPM just tuned my car last week. Check out my results here:

https://ls1tech.com/forums/dynamometer-results-comparisons/988863-finally-got-dynotune-pics-video-timeslips-more-inside.html

He has a good price. The fact that there is no sales tax in Delaware helps, too Don't forget to factor in sales tax when pricing a tune!
