If you cannot get any good recommendations, we have remote tuning services that may work better for you as you dont have to schedule an apt or worry about someone else driving your car at untold speeds etc.

Check out the link in my sig, or contact us directly for more details!

Rick at Synergy Motorsports in Fremont is an excellent choice. He is a pretty big deal around here.

Mark Roman is the go to guy in the Sacramento area. PM me if you want his info. He tunes for MSI, Monster Machine, most of the speed shops around here. He also works for GM as their chief tuner from what I've been told. Really nice guy. He went out of his way to check my car out between clients to confirm my tune and car was fine. No charge. I'm about to do heads, cam, headers.... He's who I'm using for sure.

Did you already contact him? If so, are you having it done at a shop or is he coming to your place?

PM me where when you find out. I wouldn't mind checking it out. Maybe prepare me for mine. I'm guessing either at Motor Machine or MSI. MM is right around the corner from me. Pretty sure it's where I'll be having him tune mine. What all did you do to your car?

He is the "MAIN" tuner for NorCal GM dealerships. We clear?

Get a tuner in the bay area and you will pay bay area prices--IF your car is a daily driver I would I search for someone who does "street driven tunes" Most tuners run them on a dyno and tune them only for best HP at WOT only----To get the best of driveability and max HP a street tuner can cover both--and address and issues during P/T driving that may pop up--especially on an automatic---You can spend $450 for a dyno tune and its a bitch simply driving to the 7-11--cause they never address P/T driving And one last thing Whatever the fuel trims are "just before going to WOT extremely affects your WOT fuel Any positive fuel trim will as a safety be added to your WOT fuel say your Trims are +10% doesn't sound like much at PT--but it will then add that 10% to your WOT feuling--so id you commanded a 13.0 afr at WOT you really are now getting 10% more fuel and a pig rich 11.7 !!!! a lazy turd---
If you have a negative trim the ECM will never subtract fuel at WOT as a safety and will lock on "0" Bottom line you must dial in your P/T fuel in order to correctly achieve you commanded WOT fueling

NO I am a tuner myself--- and just giving some useful advice to the poster---from my experience----Not trying to sell anything
AND why would someone drive all the way from Sac to the Bay Area for a tune when their are excellent tuners in his own neighborhood ?
If he ever does any mods or ever has any issues with the tune he loses a whole day in driving ?
