Default Need a CALIFORNIA Tuner!!!

So I ordered my new motor (resleeved ls2, 436ci) for my 2003 silverado ss about a month ago and I need to find somebody to tune my truck when I get the motor. Im AWD so dyno is pretty much out of the question. Im in so cal, moreno valley/riverside area. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm telling you, give Tad a call at Race-Prep just outside of Palm Springs (760)200-5155. He has HP Tuners and you won't regret it.

Charlie did an awesome job bringing my car back to a more safe and daily-driveable condition. It was running like dogshit after a few new mods and it was not suitable for daily-driving on its current tune. He listened to what my goals were and he did it.

You can say this guy can either bring out the best in a highly modified car or do what he did to a modestly moded car like mine, both ends of the spectrum.

RyneZ06 offered his help, you should take it.
