CHenry Motorsports and PowerTech Performance are my 2 recommendations.

Chris Henry is the man. I have a friend that had her Trans Am tuned by him. He really knows his stuff.

I strongly suggest not taking anything to Formato... I've only lived in Florida since January and i've personally seen 6 cars come from his shop and go to another shop to fix what he did...

I had a previous motor tuned by Jeremy years ago, but we couldn't complete the drivability tuning because of a spontaneous alternator problem. WOT tuning was fine though.

Also used The Tuning School in Odessa for the current motor. They are primarily a school but I wanted it tuned on a load bearing dyno and eventually the instructor fit me into his schedule. Part throttle tune was pretty good, but they sent me home with a whack WOT AFR that I had to clean up on the street.

I've read of a guy named Phil that has a place called Tampa Tuning but I don't have any personal experience with him.

the 12 years I have owned my Camaro and the places I have lived in that time, and the many mods I have had, there are a lot of people/shops that touched my car; Mike Norris, MASport, Cunningham Motorsports, Race Proven Motorsports, PowerTech Performance and CHenry Motorsports. I called Formato a few years back and he was rude so that was that. He has a reputation in FL and it is not all good, there is a following that rep him but they seem to be racers who dont care about normal driving behavior tuning. Luckily in central FL we have 2 great shops that I completely trust to work on and tune all of my vehicles and that is PowerTech and CHenry Motorsports.
