Heard of Dragon Race Engineering Has anyone in the Denver area or more specific Broomfield heard of Dragon Race Engineering. I took my car to them for a dyno tune, but have not been that impressed yet with the customer service or the tune with the exceptions of the mechanical problems I need to get fixed. What's your opinions or have you even heard of them

Well, I'll see what happens after I get some of the mechanical issues worked out. I could have just sent the pcm off to be programmed, but I really wanted an actual dyno tune. Looking around the shop just amazed me, but he just made it seem like he didn't have time for me. Hopefully things go better when I go back in May. Thanks guys.

They VERY recently had my car for a dyno tune.
Scheduled to get done Wednesday this week.
Needed to push it back a day or two. No big deal.
Well...went to pick it up Friday afternoon.
Still not done. Apparently a project C6 was more important than my lowly Trans Am. Would have taken him 1-2 hours to tune my car.

Sounds very familiar, except I trailered mine out 350 miles to get it done. Let me know how long it takes them and if you're satisfied or not.

What mechanical problems need do you need to fix?

Had to put plugs in, because the shop that installed the motor mixed 5 & 7 on the injector wiring harness around and fouled out the plugs. The TPS sensor is bad, so I have to replace that, and he's almost positive the Comp springs that were installed aren't enough for the cam. The motor should pull to 6500 with the CC 230/236 and the power straight lined down at 5500, would not pull above that.
