Los Angeles Area I am looking for a good tuner in the Los Angeles Area, how much do they go for out here? I recently installed or rather in the process of installing custom procharger D1sc FMIC kit. I also have cam with supporting mods etc etc... I also have Hptuners but I think that this sort of tunning is way beyond me. I am a newbee and have no Idea what I am doing. I dont even know how to tune the new injectors for Gods sake. I really need to learn this software..
thanks for ur help

A&A Corvettes. He specializes in ls1's. If I was you, I wouldn't even play with the tuner because you can destroy your car if you don't know what you're doing. Anyways, he has a special for this month ($400) and here's his website
http://www.aandacorvette.com/
give him a call.

Go to Andy's, he is the BEST shop you will find, trust me. Charlie is a pro at tuning cars, and for $400 he will gain you atleast 20HP, and get your car running right. AandAcorvette.com
He is located in Oxnard. Just the visit for a tour of his shop is worth it, thats for sure.

You already have HPTuners, why don't you tell us where you are? I am sure someone would be willing to help you out. You won't destroy your engine if you tune it yourself, IMO that is something that people who do not have patience to learn about tuning usually say. Common sense will tell you not to drastically change unknown variables on your program, so you will avoid making costly mistakes. Plus, if you go to the HPTuners forum, there are alot of people willing to point you in the right direction. Save your money since you have the tuning tool already.

Whats 400 for a tune when you have already invested 4-6K in mods, to me its cheap (forgive the term) insurance
BTW I don't think Andy will tune with HP tuners (he may)...you'll need to call on that one.

Hello all,
Just wanted to throw our name out there for you all to look into, We specialize in LS* and LT* engines, we have a fully tooled IN-HOUSE maching shop, DynoJet 224 XLC Chassis dyno with the load control (great for boosted applications) and all together we have over 20 years experience with everything from Indy cars to EFI street cars under our belt. We can set you up with the best tune you can get anywhere and have bested just about everyone's tune we have seen here including a "race" tune from one of GM's tuners, John Heinrecy and we beat it by over 10 RWHP! This was a stock class ZO6 with stock intake and stock exhaust minus the cats and it made 380WHP! and it was tech inspected in a race just prior to us getting the car in the shop. Give us a try, you will not be dissapointed....
