Need C5Z tuned

Car just had the heads and cam done. Now I need it tuned. I know a lot of the shops in town but haven't needed this kind of work done. Any suggestions and past good/bad experiences appreciated.

Thank you!

G-Force

I would say G-Force as well. They Tuned my Z06 with cam only and it made 435 rwhp, then after the new A&A Kit she made 647rwhp on a conservative street tune (car drives like stock until you get on it!!!). Their work is extremely professional and to boot they stand by their work which I find is very hard to come by these days. Mike and Joe are by far some of the best tuners around and I couldn’t be happier with the work that G-Force has done on all of my cars as well as my brothers.

Hope this helps a little

I knew G-force would be the choice of most. I have sent many people to Mike, just wasn't sure if he was the "best" route for me to go.

Thanks guys!!! Its good to be back my 2006 Civic SI just isn't cutting it.

Tracey just go with Mike @ G-Force if you're still in our area. You cannot go wrong with his tuning!

The car was/is wired correctly. Im not going to turn this into Houston shop drama. I wasnt talking bad about your skill, some people seem to have good luck with you and some dont. You had set the idle at 50rpm and the tune you did didnt fully take somehow. Thats why the car stayed in 3rd gear. It runs/drives great now.
