Default Las Vegas Tuners?

I did a search on "Las Vegas" tuners and nothing appeared. Can anyone recommend a good knowledgeable tuner here in Las Vegas?

I would like to find one before I start my LS1 work so that it's only done once. Normal noob questions for the tuner, such as which PCM to get, can the 4L80E be shifted by a PCM set up for a 4L60E, what do I need to do about O2 sensors, OBD II, etc.

Thanks,
Mike

Well I know they're just about Vegas's most reputable shop... they do very good work from what I've seen.

Called combination motorsports for a dyno run and PCM tuning and they said that they send all that work next door to Nevarez Racing Products (NRP). Called them and they were great. They do all the work for combination motorsports and had time today for a quick baseline dyno run on my '87 Benz. Looks like the people I'll be going to for my LS1 work and the PCM tuning. Nice people!!

Thanks again for the info,
Mike

I get all my tuning done by a fella named Joe. My tune is spot on, and the best part is that he is always there if you need to him to take a look or a make a change here or there. www.lvcfo.org is the place to go

Mike I strongly suggest that you do NOT go to Nevarez.They are dishonest to say the least.Go to Garth at Leading Edge Performance to have your car done properly and professionally.I have emailed my phone number to you if you care to call.I know that your post is old so I am hoping that they didnt screw you too.

I know alot of people including myself that have their car tuned by Joe ( S/n : buffjoeyd on ls1tech and silverbird on LVCFO) by far the best tune you can get in vegas for the best price

And thanks to these replies I have found Leading Edge Performance, so they'll be the one the FrankenBenz will be taken to after it's running. I need to get a dyno run to see what the "after" is from Navarez's "before" dyno run three years ago.

Thanks for the info!!
