Default Tuner in MN?

Anyone out there in Mn that can tune 99fbodies? i sold my handheld, and want to drive my car before i go buy hptuners, but i gears, and i need someone to change the gears for me. It doesn't help that i don't have any money for hp tuners but i throw some at whoever changes my tune so i can at least drive my car.

Don't go to John Healey the guys shop is a joke, they cannot tune for ****. The guy is a succesful roofer and thats all.

Don't cheap out on the tune get it done right plus it's only 550 the first time for tuning you are basically paying for them to use the ls1edit program in your car, after that it is just hourly rate if you change anything and need a tune. If I was you Hitech would be the place to go.

Hey trans am, what color is your car? I'm originally from Rochester and i just recently moved back to wisconsin. I have probably seen you on broadway. I haven't had my car long, so you wouldn't know mine. You may have seen my brothers car, he has a black gto with WI plates. He use to cruise a little there when he would visit. I think you were the one not to long ago that told me on here where he could fill up a nitrous bottle in Roch.

Trans am, I think I remember you talking to my brother. I was behind him im my truck. You should have stopped him and talked a little. He doesn't street race very often. I will let you know sometime when we are coming back to see our parents<they live in stewartville). We will have to meet up. It would be fun to cruise together if you would want to.

Do you know the kid that owned the 03 red whippled cobra? I see he sold the car and bought an 04 and is putting a twin turbo setup on it. I saw him and some other guys head out of town one night. He was going to race that old blue Trans am that is on broadway once in awhile. I followed them out there but I didn't want to spooke them so I stayed a ways away. I couldn't really see the race but I know the TA got beat pretty good. I never saw the TA up there again after that. What other cars do you hang out with up there? I know my brother talked to someone in a black TA. The guy was by himself. My brother said he was a cool guy. Was that you? I know there are a couple of TA up there. Also have you raced the procharged 350Z that is up there once in awhile? We tried to get him to go one night but he wouldn't. He probably would have taken us pretty easy.

I live in rochester, have a pretty rowdy red Z28. I also have EFIlive if you're interested in a tune, I couldn't tell if you already got hooked up.

I walked the pants off a chameleon cobra this summer, that's about all I've seen around here.

You should stop by my place when the weather warms up a bit.
