A dyno tune is the only way to go. I use East Texas Muscle Cars in Longview, Texas.

Give us a call any time.... With thousands and thousands of tunes out there for the LSx customers

My deal is a hard deal to beat....at any price. My tunes are never watered down or cheapened

for the mail order crowd. It's exactly the same product in person or thru the mail.


Consider the AutoCal package for total confidence.

Our price represents a TOTAL TUNING PACKAGE..... Not just a tune.

Call before Thursday to save over $200.

+1 for ECS, it's hard to beat the price and it wasn't a big deal for me to have the car sit while the PCM was out.

Like I said, one out of thousands, you can hand out $100 bills on 42nd street and sooner or later someone will not like how you handed it to them. Simple as that, so we gladly refunded his money. I know what was changed will not drop MPG negatively so it's an argument not worth disputing.

I also know the new tune I received restored the MPG and the car runs like a different animal now! Looking forward to working with the autocal soon for all of my future tuning needs.

Just my .02 since he mentioned it.
Gotcha Covered! and when we're done with your VETTE, AutoCal will allow you to tune up that

Chevy TRUCK of yours too!

Stay TUNED!
