Early wagons also make much cooler tow vehicles then trucks.

ive had my duramax tuned by mark at danville performance. AWESOME tuning job. i dynoed it a diesel nationals and was told by the guy running the dyno that it was the best tuned duramax he had all weekend, i took 4th place on the dyno for the whole weekend and highest hp duramax..aaand it was a completely stock duramax with bolt ons..buuut, yes. i know. totally different ball game..he is also known for LS tuning. he startred out tuning LS cars. i hear he can tune a mean LS..im going to see what he can do with mine. oh yeah, and tuning is 500 bucks. thats dyno time and all. he uses EFI live

norris uses HP tuners software. i see that most indy guys go to him. im not too sure what or if theres any difference in EFI live vs. HP?? but norris seems pretty reputable with all the guys around here. i guess ill need to do some research myself on what tuner i should go with.

The only difference that I can see between HP tuners and EFI Live is the actual user Interface. As far as I know, they both have the same functionality.

not to stir the pot, but Ive heard mixed things on norris? Mainly that small guys dont get as much attention and time. Mainly WOT tuning and thats it, no drivability and making sure the setup is really dialed in. Seems like a steep price if this is true.

I was wondering about that because I have heard that too. I've heard some really good and some not so good and also in between. Anywhere else?

I know some ppl are going to throw the name Pro Tech Dyno. But after my buddie went there, i wont send anyone there. Doesnt talk about what hes doing and talks to you like you have no idea what you have done to your car. Again that was just mine and my buddies thoughts on that place.

mark at danville doesnt have favorites. hes a great guy to all his customers. for example. i ran into him one tueday night out at ORP. he came up to me after a run and was willing to dial my drag tune in a little better. he tuned in the shift points and some other engine tuning. got me from a 13.85 to a 13.67 by the end of the night...and all for free. very good guy to do business with. just my 2 cents since were on the topic of how different shops treat there customers.

Ill say that i had some slight driveability issues with my old cammed/stalled Z28 prior to going to Norris, and he fixed them right up! I was about as low priority as it comes when I had him tune my car two summers ago (100k+ mile camaro driving poor young kid, haha.) He worked with me through all my issues and it was a completely different car when he was done with it! And I picked up around 20 rwhp and 20 rwtq if I remember correctly!

i loved pro dyno tech, you do have to understand he was a HP teacher so he had to deal with kids that "know it all" for a long time.. it was the same way when i was there but after awhile of talking to him he was a pretty nice guy. I dont think he talks to much about his programming like most he likes to have the secrets of his trade a secret. i will bring my T/A back there again when its done and maybe the S/C rivi or the rivi to ZZP not sure yet

Thats the first bad thing I ever heard about them. Every car he tuned I know of ran well and strong. Chill guy too, too bad hes out of the game in my opinion. Good work for quite a bit less than others.
