Default Advice: Attention all So. Cal members need a AWESOME local tunner.

Hey all:

I know of a few shops out there but I just wanted to get a little more options that may be out there. I want to try and keep it somewhat close by and not a 3-4 hour dive one way. But if I have to I will make the drive.

I want someone that is top notch and can get the most out of the car while making it safe and not on the edge.

Any input would be great. I am in the Hemat/San Jacinto area.

Thanks all

Dont need no stinking Dyno to safely tune a car, as long as you have the base mod list, know what the compression is, amount of boost etc. What you do need would be a 2 or 3 bar SD tune to ensure you get the most out of your car and safest. Good luck.


*disclaimer, yes I tune*

Haddad Motorsports. 400 bucks, dyno tune. I got 18 HP, and 26 ft/lbs of torque from a tune. Not sure how much more for an automatic, but it shouldnt be much.

I have had my corvettes tuned at several shops in Northern and Southern California.

When you take into account pricing, results, the amount of time spent ensuring everything was done right, and the followup service in case of issues or questions, Doug Stalter at LAPD has stood out. Ive experienced a couple of his tunes from an 810rwhp C5, to my own 600rwhp car, a 480rwhp heads and cam car, and a 530rwhp 402 Z06. All of them passed my own personal satisfaction meter (powr, driveability, etc), and I am one picky sonofabitch.

ken sorry, i got your call, but today was crazy couldnt call back, call me tomorrow, he will come out, we are looking into tuning technologies, because he needs to tune a Awd truck as well when we do this and tuning tech as a awd dyno. if you want to go with these other people go ahead, but the experience and shear number of satisfied customers of this person is hard to ignore.
