Ya that is a pretty good haul man. Ill let ya know if Im headed down that way.

 

Another vote for Performance by Joe (PBJ) in St. Louis off of Hampton Ave and 44. He did the tune on my TT Vette and I've been quite pleased. There was some stuff he couldn't tune out that's attributed to very lazy O2's since they're right behind the turbo's, but he had it dialed in quick and it runs like a champ.

 

Any new updates on this? I am looking for a new tune for a heads/cam/procharger/speed density car.

 

Ben Craven (formerly of Pur Performance) now owns Craven Performance in St Peters does a good job.

 

I've heard nothing but good things from Craven Performance, but I can personally vouch for the guys at Mid Coast Performance. The tuner has a couple LSX cars himself and knows how to get the most out of them. 636-946-7223

 

I definitely want a street tune, since my car will be on the street 99% of the time. I have been told that mccord mainly deals with "full throttle" tunes.

 

CBI Street Cars is where it is at. Everything he does is awesome work. Everyone I talk to says the same thing. He did a tune for my car when no one else wanted to mess with a carbureted dinosaur. He went way above and what I expected. PM me for his details

 

I've heard about Shane who used to have pro charged g8, with fap tuning, where's he at? How'd everyone feel about his tuning?

 

i have tuned many cars in stl with great luck.

 

are there any tuners mentioned that you have heard bad things about/wouldn't recommend?

 

I dont like to bash people.. but i can safely say myself i have tuned over 140+ cars in STL and have very happy customers.

 

Fap Tuning FTW!!!! Shane does a great job on the drivability and power!! You will not be disappointed at all. He has tuned my formula and my vette and both run very well! I would not let anyone else tune my car. Have Shane tune you car!

 

what would you guys or who would you recommend for a ls4 gxp tune?

 

I have done a few ls4 monte carlos and GPs...both saw a increase in power and 1-3 mph increase.

 

I have used PBJ several times in the past, car was tuned to lean and drove like ****, switched to DSteck tuning and my car runs and drives great!

 

Shane is where it's at. My car runs great and is usually quick to help if I've got a question about the tune. Great guy to work with

 

Dave Steck, Big Steve (does tuning for CBI) and Shane are all good. The guy who rebuilt my 4l60e really talked Shane up, and said he's good at setting up shift points and what not. I shall be talking to him in a couple weeks when my pile is done so I can hopefully hit a test n tune before the track closes for the winter.

McCord was good when he was focused more on tuning. His actual work is more in the engineering field and he really does not tune cars anymore. It seems like his quality of work may have declined toward the end because he was so busy with other big projects so tuning a car for the 100000th time wasn't too high on his priorities.

 

There's only one guy i know that consistently tunes 600-1000+ hp cars around here. DSX

 

Dave steck....end of story. No need to bother talking to any other tuners. He is the only guy mentioned in this thread that CONSISTENTLY tunes 700+ hp cars that dont blow up everywhere or give out a nice smoke show when they get on it. Look at previous cars he has tuned like his own twin turbo c6z that maxed out the dyno sunday night at 1000whp and almost 1000 torque and a twin turbo 427 5th gen camaro that rolls out. He tuned my ms3 cammed camaro on SD and it drove awesome considering it had 3.42s. He is tuning my turbo Camaro tonight as well. Look at some of his posts on several forums, the guy is scary smart, thank god he just uses it for tuning and witty banter.

 

Another nutswinger for Steck here. Tuned my old car and will be tuning my next car. He does most all of the high HP cars in the area.


And for clarification Big Steve tunes mostly out of Redline I believe. Not CBI.
