why is that? You say dont go somewhere and then when asked you wont say? ok, I'll take the word of someone that I've never met before!


By the way SNLperformance does almost ALL the tune/installs for the GTO drivers for there LSx cars and they speak nothing but good things about them!


OP- checkout www.LS1GTO.com and look up Radio(main guy),Phoenix, or Corndog(screen names.)
I raced 1 of his tuners Phoenix a few weeks back and got destroyed and the funny thing is that Phoenix raced me in 4th gear to give me a fighting chance when he could have easly put it in 3rd and raped me!!!

what does that race have anything to do with how they tune? were the car's identically setup and the only difference being the tunes?

how they "have fun" has nothing to do with how they tune.


b/c they have a clientel of GTO owners, has nothing to do with their tuning abilites.

LG caters to Vette's. does that mean they're top notch tuners? No.

Ok... If you said so person that I have never met However the fact that they continue to go back to SNL does.. and the fact that they have RETURNING clientel must say something! SNL is a good place! DFW has LOTS of good places! The OP will take it to who he wants but you cant call a on a shop without posting up the reasons why...

I am not going to say why because I don't feel like I have to justify my statement. I don't really care who you are or if you do or don't know me but I think that there are other shops in the area that can do a much better SD tune.

For the record Built408 has a better looking and faster car even stock lol

How about this why don't you actually do some modding to that LS-6 of yours then get it tuned by SNL and then go around leg humping afterwards.

SQR has a great reputation for THEIR OWN WORK and Daniel is a great guy to deal with. Enough said.

My thoughts exactly lol. Daniel tuned my car and that's why I am talking him up on here. I know some crappy things about SNL and that's why I gave warning.

I had Mark Shaner tune my car and all the cars at my shop and they are all very fast and very streetable cars. for Shaner. I have also done business with SQR and Daniel really knows his stuff and will take the time to do it right as well.

As far as SNL. I totally agree. Don't take your car there. My friends GTO is modified farther than mine and tuned there and can't outrun me.

who does efi live here in dfw? I need a local tuner also. tired of email tunes.
as far as SNL goes, they have a NEW tuner now that is 10 times better than the old tuner, so I am told. New being in the last month or so. I am not in a pissing match, so please do not flame me.
