Default Dyno tuner is San Diego

Well, finally a damn good tuner in San Diego. Excelsior motorsports in San Diego is the place ot go. I have never had a car tuned and run so strong and so smooth. His software is awsome and the experience level there is phenomenal. I have never been happier and at 43, I have had many cars tuned in the past. Just thought I would share in case anyone out there is looking for competent tunning and does not feel like driving a long distance.

Default Great Shop!

I have been to that shop and it is awesome. I talked to Brock and the owner and they are really knowledgeable guys. I am going to dyno tune my car as soon as possible.

They have some stuff there that is just amazing. Their dyno is amazing.

I guarantee you that you won't be dissapointed in any way and if your car has any small problems areas, they will find them and let you know. They found stuff including the upper panhard rod not having any bolts on the drivers side (thanks SLP) and they installed them. They let me know one of my cats was cracked and that my inner fender well had no harware holding it in place and fastened it down for me.I have quite a few more changes to my setup and they will be performing the work. I like the no B.S. atmosphere.

yup, EFI Live. Kushan removed my MAP sensor and replaced it with a two bar MAP sensor. Now he can actually taylor my WOT with accurate values instaed of guessing. It also eliminated my MAF sensor because it handles both now. That mean less restriction on the throttle body side. The car idles unbelievably smooth and runs great.

Never heard of lifetime tunes and I have used tuners in many states. I do know that they guarantee their work and will adjust as needed if needed. They are located at 5555 Magnatron Blvd. suite L San Diego CA 92111 (858)565-8000. It is off Kearny Mesa.

So they're pretty much f-body experts? Do you think they'd be opposed to doing work on a V6 Camaro?

I don't see why not but Brock would be better suited to answer that. Give them a call.

I am not opposed to doing work on a v6, however, it kinda depends on what you had in mind.

What are you thinking of doing to it ?
