Tuners in Washington?
Tuners in Washington? Just wanted to see if anyone knows of any tuners around here. I live in Redmond. I have heard that the GTO's react well to a tune and was wondering who to contact and how much it might cost me. I do drive an 04 GTO M6.
Thanks

I'm going to see TJ Wong in Vancouver, WA soon. Not close, but it seems like he's the man when it comes to tuning. Not that Ellis can't tune - but those idle tables are pesky, and he has a dyno, wide band O2, etc... In fact I would say Ellis is an excellent tuner as he can make your car run really good without having a dyno at his shop.

I actually have the 96-97 LT1 files but they only bench tune right now. A GREAT tune can only really be done IN the car IMHO
BTW guys EFI Live is good stuff to! I have seen it in action

Hey Ellis are aftermarket MAFs worth the $$$?
And I'm with Tranzor, take your time. It hurts getting beat by those Mustangs, but oh well. Anytime before the dyno day would be great, but the sooner the better (but no pressure).

that about covers it! We can tune around MAF ends but a Crappy MAF stays and screws every thing up

I also am getting an upgrade cable to allow WB to be added in place of NB in HPT. But, you can still live data log onto the laptop using innovates software.

Okay the question is who wants to tune my car? How much are we talking about? 04 GTO M6. Stock right now but I am ordering the K&N aircharger kit next week. Where are you guys located at and how long will it take? Just a few questions.
Thanks

When you purchase HPT you get two years choice, mine 02 vette and I think 98 f-body (not certain on year).

Yeah Cool that'd be great Rob. What's going in this winter if you don't mind me asking. Possibly headers, cam, and some 4.10s? If you ever decide to get rid of your 3.42s let me know.

1. Thrid stage wet n2o
2. hardened output shafts (6000+ rpm launches)
3. carbon fiber drive shaft (launches)
4. LG headers
5. maybe a built 6-speed (handle all the torque)
6. mini tubs (345 dr for launches)
but we will see how the money thing goes, as I am trying to finish my Harley also. 4.10's are not needed on a Z06 as 1st 2nd and 3rd are lower geared than a C5 and thus equates to 4.11s until hitting 4th, then it's back to 3.42s.
