I went to synergy to get my catback installed and for my ls7 clutch/ls2 flywheel install.
They do good work at a good price.
They are also converting my friends '78TA to an ls1

That is the price for a dyno tune not #s of pulls. There is usually much more than 3 pulls involved in any good tune and can take hours to finish

they go as long as they have to go until they are happpy with the results and feel it's as strong/safe as possible. they are worth the money and can make just about anything as streetable as it can be. Rick is no joke with his tuning and now has people coming from all over. He even has people coming from out of state with some insane cars.... cough, KB 2.6 vette.. cough

That is true. Rick spent a whole day re-tuning my Car when he put my Bigger Charger in. I thought we could do plug and play. Synergy has done all my work on my car. And it is still running good. Saving my penny's for the 6.0 iron block build now.
