i am looking for a tuner in central illinois for my 2000 z28. i am located between springfield illinois and st. louis missouri.

 

We are a little bit north of ya, but it would be worth the trip.

 

If you are in Staunton I would look at some places in/around St Louis like Redline maybe?

 

Id get ahold of a member named SMOKINV8..He does awesome work, and he's in Springfield..Sending PM....

 

i am installing a mild head/cam setup and i will need tuning. i won't need anything out of this world for my mild setup but i want to make sure i get the A/F right for sure.

 

how much actual experience does Ross have tuning?
try FC Customs in springfield as well (not sure if they tune in house)

 

More than your aware of, evidently

 

I know ross but until I see their cars running the #s I'll pass
michael's $ might buy a dyno but show me something

 

You may know me, but you haven't caught up with me in probably 4-5 years (been a long time ). A lot has changed my friend.

BTW, glad to see you kept a couple of the toys.

 

show me the digits shorty lol

link me to your shop page mr. picotrain

i am not sure if i should get it dyno tuned or not either. i realize that is probably the best way but i am not sure if i really need it.

 

In all honesty, it depends on what you're looking for out of the car. If you want it to make the most power possible, have it dyno tuned. If finding that last 2-15hp (if you're N/A) isn't going to make a huge difference to you, don't worry about it. Getting your air/fuel right and getting timing in the ballpark is what makes the biggest difference, dyno tuning is fine tuning to what your car wants.

 

What do you charge for something like this? Do you know what some of the other shops charge for this and dyno tuning? I guess I could call them to find out too.

 

Most shops charge $400-$600 for custom tuning, plus dyno time. You can click through some sponsor links to get a feel for pricing.

 

i will think about my options and go from there. i hope my car is back together in about a week or so. i will then go from there.

 

i have met Ross (SMOKINV8) before and know a couple people whose cars he has tuned. Its no hand held programmer crap, its the good ****. Everything i have heard about him has been positive...

 

at least i know he has done laptop stuff before, but i think has HPtune stuf also..

 

Most shops a little north of you will charge $400-$450 for the tune including dyno time.

 

ross has done my sts car...............two tumbs up
