Default tune

I live in Seguin fairly close to SA. I bought this car and it has a sticker that says Lethal Performance pulled off the back glass. Supposedly I have a stage 2 tune. Is this a good place to go back to retune. Do they lock their tunes? If they're good who's the one to talk to? If there's a better place to go to who is it. I'm all about power and need a tuner that I can trust

I would go to one of the sponsors that's nearest to you.

Wish I could help.
I understand why people ask, and have learned first hand not to trust the sponsor list. I've been burned by a couple in the past. They aren't sponsors now, but there isn't any screening past the advertising check clearing.

OP where did you hear about the stage 2 tune? seller? paperwork?
is lethal a good place to go back to retune? thats a decision you will have to make. i would find out who lethal's tuner is and post the name in this thread (if it hasn't been locked yet.) you could ask them if they lock their tunes on the same phone call.

in my opinion the reason that the "who is the best tuner?" threads get locked is because those threads have caused sponsor wars in the past and they are trying to avoid them.

You would be surprised the number of "tuners" that do not know how to correctly tune a vehicle.

yes he is in victoria. It will probably be more beneficial to you if you went to him but who knows, he may have a shop that he likes to use in SA. I'd contact him. Is there a reason you could not make it to him?

Nelson Performance is located in SA and they are very good. Known for their trucks but do an excellent job on ls cars as well. Allen or Ray do the tunes at their shop. Have about 3 or 4 friends with tunes from them and that includes a 10 sec turbo truck. Will be taking my car down there when it gets done with paint.

Have no idea that's why I said supposedly. I know of stage 2 parts but not tunes but my car doesn't run like a stock ls1 so I'm baffled
