Default Good LS1/Corvette Tuners in NE FL?

Hello,

I am in need of some help, i keep getting turned down by shops for the work i want done on my C5.

I am needing heads/cam/longtubes/fast 90/90 installed and of course a tune, 1 shop wont do vettes becouse you have to pull the steering rack, and ive been turned away by 2 other shops because they will not install parts that were not purchased from them.

I am in Jacksonville, but i will travel up 2 hours or so away if i have to to get this done by a good shop, please if you have any leads fill me in!

I worked on AH-64 Apache Longbow, but, it doesn't mean I can tune a car well ... J/K. I don't know Doc, but, I've never heard anything bad about him, either. As it was stated, that usually says a lot on this board.

JFormato's coming to Orlando to Corvette Masters next weekend I believe, which is within your 2-hour range. IMHO, the closer you stay to Jac, the better. You'll likely have to go back to finish off the tune if you drive the car around and decide you need shiftpoints, shift firmness, idle, etc. changed.

From what folks are saying, this guy Doc is probably your best bet. I don't know anyone else who is a good tuner in Jacksonville. Good luck.

there are a few good tuners here.....BUT they try to sell you things you dont need and if you dont know some of them well they'll give you a cookie cutter tune and not really get into it.....

pm "doc" he's in fleming island just south of jacksonville....also about a 2 hour drive

Jeremy comes to Gainesville somewhat often. He usually does his tuning at Rollins Automotive -- who I'm pretty sure would do the mechanical work on the car as well.

Send me a PM and I'll give you some info if you'd like.

DOC tuned mine as well and it runs much better than my old MTi tune I got from Houston. My car is slightly a "freak" but it only got faster after he got ahold of it and we tuned it at the track.
+6 for DOC.
