I grew up in Lafayette. I believe Thunder Racing is in Baton Rouge, right? They do LS1 stuff. I used talk to those guys when I had my Fbodies. I think they do Vette stuff do. Check into it.

CARTEK has five 9-second C5's , more than any other tuner in the NE . They have produced nine second C5's out of turbo , nitrous , and Naturally Aspirated combinations , no other tuner in the country has done this to my knowledge .

CARTEK currently has the quickest/fastest NA C6 .

I think I'll vote for CARTEK as the top tuner in NJ and the Northeast .

Man, I couldn't have said it better myself.

My cars been tuned by a few shops and I'll give u my opinon

Ed Wright (for mail order it was very good)

Cartek (Never idled right from day one,found out they cut my 02's and tuned it in open loop)

PCM for less (dangerous tuning with a 13.3 A/F wouldnt hold an idle,threw all sorts of codes)

Nogo (Was good for about 100 miles then hunted terribley too and I also found out it was open loop tuned)

Decided to buy my own edit and had SLOWHAWK from Dez Racing help me tune it over the PHONE AND FROM EMAILS BACK AND FORTH.He is the best tuner bar none,My car is tuned in CLOSED LOOP,idles perfectly and get decent MPH,starts and just runs and shifts perfectly,oh and this guy put me in the 10's when no other tuner could even come close

My vote------------>SLOWHAWK ALL THE WAY......

can't someone ( who started the thread ) put this in a list of each state. I skipped from page 2 to the end because it was to long.

I'm not sure where you are getting your info, but I know a quite a few cars she has tuned including mine and they all have put down awesome numbers. Do you know of a bad tune they have done?

Anyways I live in Miami and I'm in need of a good tuner as I'm preparing for a H/C!
Actually, Next Level Performance (formerly Norris Motorsports) is a good tuner in South Florida. I think previously he focused more on NA cars but now he's doing a lot more FI (as far as I can tell).

Try HWT Performance

Not sure if you understand what tuning is all about by your statements. There is a whole lot more to tuning than just a "dyno tune" which by the way was included in the Complete custom tuning for my high stall tc and cammed C5.
