Tuners near CT - recommendations

Well the build is beginning and I need some opinions of some tuners in the area around Connecticut. Also, can anyone tell me how I can get my car to a shop to tune it when I have 60# injectors, etc etc etc. Thanks

East Side Performance in Wallingford. They are LSx experts.

They have done work on my cars in the past and I was very pleased with their work.

If you're not tuned for the injectors, don't drive it but on and off the trailer. I'd push it on even, lol.

You should be able to call Don (slowhawk) and get a baseline tune so you can get it to the shop. Plus you can find out if its gonna run

send the tuner the computer... they load a baseline in it and send it back. I drove my car all the way from vermont to slowhawks on the baseline tune. He can get you close enough to drive on most setups

Pretty much what Floader said. You send me the computer and I'll send back a base tune for you to drive and check the install out with.Then when it's set drive it to the shop for the final tune.

You really don't want to do the first start at the shop that tunes it because you might have problems with the car from the install or little bugs to work out.That can add up $$ real fast.
