Default Tuner in Tampa feeler for sponsor

I lot of you guys have reached out to me in Tampa over the last 9 years and asked me to fix tuning issues on your car. Ive been providing free tunes for a long time on this forum, but sponsor 5 other forums including the IB Corvette Forum.

IB will allow me to switch my corvette sponsorship to this forum if Id like. I sponsor two gen5 Camaro forums, but because of the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty, owners are slow to modify. Similar to new Corvette owners.

That's what makes me think about switching my Corvette sponsor to this Camaro tuning forum.

I've been to the basic and advanced tuning schools, and return often to help when they have local tampa tuning classes in Odessa. I also get a good rate when I rent their dyno.

So my question is, are most of the older style camaros in the Tampa area Modified already, or are guys still looking for a good tuner in Tampa that doesnt work on your car, screw it up, and never returns your calls?

Im pretty busy from the other forums I sponsor in Tampa, but I wonder if I could pick up more business from this forum.

I was also thinking of selling bolt on parts, but the margin price of profit is small. Looks like the newer Camaro and Corvette forums for tuning are the way to go for sponsoring.
Thanks

Since I dont sponsor this forum, it wouldnt be proper for me to give out prices.

Im a pure tuner. I dont do installs. I can point you in the right direction for shops ive used for installs. I have a lot of guys that do their own installs then come to me for tuning to save a buck.

This morning, I reached out for my contacts at the IB to switch over my sponsership from corvette forum to this forum. I think I have 5 month left on my contract.

You poor guys have been stuck with some beat tuners long enough and its time to make the race community fun again.

I need a tuner to figure out why I can only pull 1.89 60' times on my DR's. Maybe hot motor pulling timing, but something is not right with me running 12.50 in a 1500 DA with 200lbs weight reduction, I want to get it figured out.....could be my DS though.

Tryed Phil out this weekend after having car tuned several years ago by another well known tuner and his tune was just ok, Did AFR heads and cam and gears and was not running at its best and original tuner moved, Waited 2 years not sure which tuner to use and found and checked out Phil with good reviews, He Tuned the car and drove with me to see how i liked it which the other tuner did not do, and he fixed all my problems and car runs great and tested it on the way home and wow, Will be using Phil on any future engine upgrades, He does a great job not in a hurry and the price is very good Thanks Bill

I'm not in the Tampa area, but I've driven to that area previously for a tune. Didn't like that they didn't use a load bearing dyno and used a tail pipe sniffer for the AFR. I would be interested in going to you when you can post pricing and details on the equipment you use.
