Default Problems getting a tune

Anyone else in SE Michigan have a hard time getting a dyno tune? I've called APE a couple of times and left a message, same with Wheel to Wheel with no replies or anyone answering, I guess Livernois somehow doesnt have the software to do my car, and I'm giving Hardcore a call in a few minutes. I didnt know this would be such a hassle. I thought installing the heads/cam would be the hard part.

I can't believe that there's not a shop in Detroit that can (or will) help you.....I hope you eventually get someone to help you out.

We would love to help you, unfortunately we don't have the software to do a '96 LT1. We're working on getting it now and should hopefully have it soon.

Yeah I heard. That really sucks since you guys are only 5 minutes from my house but I finally contacted Kevin Hayes of Wheel to Wheel, plus I guess Mike Moran is good friends with Kevin so if I have any more problems communicating I can go through Mike.

Thats cool because I will need updates to my tune in the future and that will make it easier being Livernois is only a couple minute drive.
