Default Tuner in Cincy area

I need to get my TT 02 vette tuned I have tried to get it done for the past 3 months with no luck. I already have the Ls1-edit I just need a tuner. I will pay for somebody to fly in and do it if I can't find anybody local. Does anybody have any idea's?

I drove to Detroit Speedworks. A place called Raceline in West Chester (Port Union Area) just got a Mustang dyno. I called them and they said they would allow me to tune it myself on their dyno at $90 hr.. There are alot of fast LS1's in the Cincy/Dayton area so maybe someone will chime in thats a tuner, it ain't me.

Yea I know the guy's from Raceline. I am thinking about letting Rick from there mess with it. He is really good with the aem program so maybe he can figure out ls1-edit.

Talk to Mike Brown or Todd/Reckless, both are from the Dayton area and both know their way around LS1 edit.

Sorry Ryan I was wondering what happened on your project. Hopefully you can get it tuned somewhere. What happened to Mike Morgan flying out there and tuning your car?????

The only other person who has experience in tuning very high HP turbo cars and knows exactly what he is doing would be Rob Raymer from QMP. The link ----> that says LS1 motorsports will get you to his website. he isn't that far from you either. If you want to get the most out of your setup, he would be the one I recommend. Good luck. Can't wait to see your numbers.

There are other Turbo Tuners out there. Its just a matter of locating them. I know somebody who has used an Import Performance shop with great results. But not in Ryan's area. I don't think it is as hard as everyone makes it out to be..but then again I have never actually done any Turbo Tuning..so I am just reporting what has been told to me and what I have read. But Rob and LPE would be my first choices when it comes to Turbo Tuning on an LSx.

I'd bet the only way LPE would touch this car is if Ryan shipped it to them with $50k. When he got it back it would now be a 427 CI and somehow the turbos would have ended up under the engine.
