Default Who wants there car tuned by Vengeance????

I've been talking with Ron@Vengeance about doing a group tuning session near STL and I need to see if I can't get 5 people interested in doing this. Obviously the more the better, but at least 5 to make this happen. I'm still waiting to hear about price and what not so when this is available, I'll post up.

Post up if your interested!!!!!

Ok, price is roughly $450 per car plus the time to rent the dyno, which I have to set up. I'll post more info when the time comes

Ok, found a dyno near STL. Looks like its gonna be an extra $100 for the dyno for 7 people. More people than that the price goes down. So far I've got 1 person other than myself...

Im waiting to get the required amount of people and once I have that, I'll ask what works for who and go from there. Hopefully this goes smooth with people's schedules and what not.

Looking to do this on a Fri, Sat and Sun,but not set in stone. I also have to see whats good for Ron and Mike to get up here.

cool, keep us posted. the one i'm working on right now is tentatively end of october/first of november...but i'm not 100% sure i'll have my car done, so i can't commit to anything...if the vengeance tune was mid-late november, i could probably do that without much trouble, but it's really up to Ron and/or Mike at this point.

not trying to **** anyone off or anything but i cant justify driving further out of the way and pay another $200 over what FLP or straightline charges (not sure on pricing for straightline) and the fact that its the end of the season kinda hurts. never the less ill bring it up to some other lsx guys... best of luck

That sounds about the time frame that I would like to get this done also. All I have to do is let Mike or Ron know that I have 6 people for sure and its a go.

I see where your coming from, but personally I've spent a good deal of money with Vengeance, so why not top it off with their tuning. I like the fact that they post videos of numbers, track times and videos of how the car drives on the street under normal driving conditions. Those 3 things are what are important to me. I have not seen anything from the shops that you've mentioned, not saying anything bad, just haven't.. Vengeance is coming to STL if I get 6 more people, so its not a hassle for me to get there. Alot easier than ATL...

This isn't a tuning debate on whose better or what, a simple who would like to have their car tuned by a well known shop. Thanks

some of us don't live anywhere near a tuner, much less a respectable, experienced one that we know we can trust, so there aren't any other options.

Who the hell in STL is charging that?? Even for a dyno tune I've never heard of someone charging that much here...

that does seem steep to me too for the area. i am not saying i wouldn't pay it for a really good tune, but my car won't be ready until the upcoming summer.

i paid $650 to have my car tuned in Tulsa. expensive? yes...but worth every penny. I don't think this group tune is too bad of a deal at all, especially when you consider that the tuner is HIGHLY reputed and very experienced.
