I thought the guys up at the tuning school in Odessa did. Search "the tuning School" at talk to bob.

I'll look into it, thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

I am moving to Tampa in Jan./Feb. and will be looking for a tuner... I haven't heard much locally to Tampa so you will be my first contact as I have always seen respectable posts from you..... Take that back, I have heard of a few close to Tampa, and it is why I won't be using them. LOL

I will have the majority of the tuning already done.... I will need things like: Retune when I ported the heads/intake later on, gear changes, possibly switching to SD, etc... Nothing huge just small tweaks here and there. Setup is a forged 370 with a 2-300 hit on it.

I'm curious to a break down of pricing, re-tunes, etc... As well as interested in possibly learning to tune my own car a tad, mostly so I can make changes if I decide to go SD, small changes at the track, etc... I think the big tuning (head swaps/etc) I will be leaving to someone more experienced until I get a few years experience myself.

Phil, you are going to get a better market over here on tech rather than CF. Most people that actually mod their **** come on Tech anyway so you won't lose much ground on the vettes. When I get back, Ill have to hit up the Hooters on Gandy for the meets...

I finally had a free minute to faxed in my paperwork today, so I should be showing up as Tampa Tuning in the next day or two.
here's a heads up to my site. Im priced lower than any tuner in the area because it shouldnt break the bank to make the car run right the first time!

here's what they say on another forum about the Tampa Tuning experience.

For Immediate Release

Tampa Tuning Revs Up Its Staff

(Tampa, FL) Tampa Tuning is pleased to announce the addition of a tuning master. Ian Thomson, former full-time instructor and research and development analyst for “The Tuning School” and co-writer of the tuning guide for the six speed automatic transmission has joined Tampa Tuning.

Thomson brings a wealth of knowledge to the tuning arena.

He’s spent thousands of hours in the classroom as an instructor and on the dyno tuning cars. Thomson excels in forced induction vehicles and enjoys the challenge of getting the most out of heads and cam packages. His heads and cam C6 Corvette has 540 RWHP with a smooth shifting 6l80 transmission.

Phil, owner of Tampa Tuning, is thrilled to have Thomson on his team. “He’s one of the best tuners in the country. For those of you who have thanked me for your A6 tuning, you can also thank Ian. He wrote the book on 6l80/90 tuning.”

Glad to see this. I'm going to check out pricing. I'm going to be doing a 3200 or 3600 stall in the next month or two, and will need a trans tune. Plus I want my street tune looked at. I also have a question about my MAF, and wonder if it being de-screened is an issue with my Vararam intake.

Edit. Checked out the site, damn good prices.

Phil,
Thanks for keeping us updated and on the valued addition to your company and services.

Question: Have you performed any Gas Mileage improvement tuning on the 5.3 engine?

Ian has a 3600 Stall in his Corvette and im telling you its very smooth while shifting.

Once the MAF and the fuel trims are dialed in, screened or unscreened MAF shouldnt have an effect, but im a screened MAF fan

To assist with fuel milage, you can delay the power enrichment delay to further up the power band, But you'll loose a little pick up and go.

We do this with trucks

I forgot mention, but its on our website, I always offer a 10% discount on my tuning service to any member of the Military or Law Enforcement.


Sorry guys but I dont do the traveling smoke and mirror road show where I travel to other cities, stuff base line tunes in as many cars I can get to and call it dyno tuning, then run out of town and dont answer the phone when you have a problem.

Im your local area tuner that does contract work for a couple shops in the area, and have my long list of clients.

I sent a message to IB yesterday and asked how long this takes to switch over sponsorships and im waiting to here back.

Good talking with you Phil, and like I said I don't mind testing the waters with you. I will shoot you a pm regarding drivability issues with my C5. I think it has do do with my '02 sensors. 13.7 mpg with a 3200 stall and Texas Speed V2 cam just doesn't sound...right. I will be in Tampa next month and as soon as I get the cars\trucks\bikes moved down I will hook up with you. You wouldn't happen to be familiar with ECUedit for the Hayabusa would you?

I can't wait to get my stall in, as I have a feeling, Phil will be able to pull a couple more ponies out of my ca,r from my current tune, from a known tuner. No reason I should be running 12.5 with my weight reduction...
