Do you work for them? If not, how can you make a statement like that.
Actually, they are about 50/50 LSx to 'stangs.

I would also reccomned looking into Sean @ C.A.R.S. He did mine and several other guys I know, and I've never heard about a complaint.

actually last time I was at livernois i think there were about 5-6 vettes, and about 3-4 mustangs that were being worked on (other then the ronaele's they build) so it seems that they had more GM stuff there then, I know i would never have a problem having a guy with the experience in tuning that Dan Millen has, tune my car.

Just as important as not getting a tune that blows up your car... What does everyone charge? I contacted vector and they said $500. What does Livernois charge, or this Sean from CARS (no idea what that is)? Hardcore on US-23 is 2 min from my house, anyone had their car tuned there?

Thanks,
Brian

by all means, stay away from hardcore, they couldnt tune my buddies 04 gto at all, it was a bolt on car with an ls1 hot cam, that was it, the thing drove worse after going there then it did before hand

Thanks, I keep hearing the same thing about hardcore... I wish dyno tuning didn't cost $500!

I am also looking for a good shop to do the tuning to my GTO with mods in my sig, so I cant give any recommendations. I do however have had bad experiences with vector, and more specifically, but limited to chris white. I have sent several emails (to chris), and even left a couple of messages at vector, with ZERO response from them. If these people cant figure out how to treat a customer that has $500 in hand for them then they are not qualified to touch my LS2. --rant over--

If I remember correctly Sean charges somewhere around $450 for a full dyno tune, just call him up and talk to him and see what he says. Tell him that Jeff with the blue T/A sent you.

Planning on having him do my LS7 clutch install plus a little exhaust work. I don't require his tuning services (as I do my own), but would recommend them to anyone. Another +1 for Sean.

pretty sure he doesnt have a web address. but I vote for sean too. I live down the road from his shop also, and I see tons of cool cars in there all the time. sean's doin the dynotune on my dads TA, and if I can afford it, the dynotune on my LT1 car.

also note, he uses a mustang dyno. so dont expect dynojet like #s. but the #s aint whats important.
