Default Good LS1 Tuners in Pa.

i live in the middle of B.F.E. Pennsylvania and am having trouble finding a tuner for my car. seems i'm the only one around willing to play with a LS1. i'll be adding LT's in the spring and possibly a cam later next year but can't find a tuner. i've tried contacting Rapid Motorsports in Birdsboro,Pa but never got a call back. can anyone point me in the right direction?

Mikey @ Rapid tuned my car along with a lot of install work - I drove 4.5 hours one way to his shop - very happy I did.

You have to keep trying to get hold of him - I know I get about one answered call out of six - problem is he's always busy and he's the only guy there. Used to be that his calls were forwarded to Susan - but that hasn't happened in a while & I haven't heard from her - don't know what's going on there (but she was a great help in my case)


Oh, and BTW, I've lived in PA for 44yrs - as far as I'm concerned, the entire state is B.F.E. Can't wait to retire early to Myrtle Beach

Keep trying. Mikey is usually really busy. Its pretty much just him at Rapid, plus he travels around to drag his sweet WS6 T/A. He may be on the road.
