[69greyghost]

Hey guys who all do you know that does tuning? I want a deal and am not really looking for max power. I know about Rick but who are the others with this skill? Thanks again guys for any and all help.

Your location would probably help guys find you a good tuner.

Sorry, I'm in the east bay California. I'm willing to travel within the northern ca area.

You can check out borelli motorsports in san jose. They do a lot of GM tuning.

Why not Rick @ Synergy......Rick tuned my C5 Z06 never had any problems in 5 years of ownership and won several AutoX championships in that car. Rick has put in his time and paid his dues....his old shop used to be by my house....many days driving home from work I would see Rick driving around perfecting the Dyno tune on a real world test on public streets. When I finish my LS3 build Rick will be the tuner I use.

Matt at GP Tuning knows his stuff.
He tuned a buddies 800rwhp zr1 and it drives good!

Plan on spending $400-500 on a tune.

That's why I run the Holley HP. No more tuners or retune costs when changing parts.

mainly cause he's a arrogant grump.

but I still recommend him if the client is close. :D


We use TPS @ Borelli's a as much as possible. Aaron is good.

[Solid LT1]

TPS? Be my guest.....did you know Mike Mack used to be in the computer surplus business? Mike made his money selling Silicon Valley junk and then one day decided he'd be a Motorsports mougul.....starting with the Mustang crowd......Rick may not have the best personal skills but, his long term commitment to the tuning of LS motors makes him Nor Cals best tuner......Mike? Last time I observed the " tuning skill set " was at his old shop in Campbell, after 15 minutes I had seen enough. Covering the rent money @ Borellis site wouldn't be something I would take on.....it lead to the demise of The Speed Merchant....a Silicon Valley institution didn't last much over a year at that joint....be my guest to spend your $$$ where you want to, mine are usually earned with a little bleeding on my part.....I take those bloody notes to the guy who I think has bleed equally in the quest to be a LS tuning expert....what's a guy like me know?

[novahollic]

For what it's worth, Mike is no longer associated with Borelli. And yeah, he's a crook.

do a google search for Mark Roman LS tune in Sacramento. I heard good things about him and there are a few guys that recommend him on LS1 tech.

[Justin@EntropyRad]

So much drama in the NBC...:wacko:

Guess I take it for granted that I live in an area flooded with LS-based shops.

Ghost...Sent you pm about Romans contact info. Good guy.

Another vote for Mark Roman. Had a good experience with him.

69greyghost,
you can email me if you want to talk more about it. I've done a few of the things. I really specialize in making the harnesses, but I don't really appreciate everyone else's dollar stealing "tricks" of tuning. I don't just flash in a "known good" table for your list of mods.

Talk to glassman. He was one of the only LS cars that didn't have to hook up a laptop on his trip to Texas with the GoodGuys Hall of Fame tour. I put the LS in it and did the tune.

I'm in Livermore, CA. As is Rick now.

I hope you get it all tuned perfect, whoever you go with!
Josh

After phone interviewing about 4 tuners in the Bay Area I decided to have Aaron at Borelli work on my car. It is running dual drive by wire throttle bodies through a Holley Dominator ECM and has a 231/236 cam. And no those Holley programs are not exactly "self tuning" It may be self tuning enough to run but not on my car.

And for what its worth Borelli actually answers the phone unlike some of these other tuners. Two tuners I interviewed didn't even know what the Holley Dominator was and one of them is listed on this post as "the best in the Bay".

[Vince@Meanstreets]

I have been going there for all my tuning and dyno work. They treat you and the car with respect. No attitude or chest thumping.

I had my customer with me at one session and they were more than happy to explain what was going on with my customer. He's very protective of his car and a bit of a Chatty Cathy. He was very happy with the service.
