Default Top 5 tuners?

Just my opinion, but if you're going to create a top 5 tuners post, how do they not include RPM out of Delaware?

Fran and the crew have more of the first initial records on some quarter mile times, and more reliable tunes than most out there.

They also have an outstanding reputation here. Just wanted to air that out... plus I'm sort of partial with my 600+ whp tune from them...



(can I add popcorn on my own post? lol)

Hennessey is a joke but a paying forum sponsor hence why they’re on the list.

I went to several different places here in Houston to get tuned after headers, cam blah blah blah. It was never right till I took it over to LMR. Steven did a great job.

I'm shocked that Katech didn't make the list.

After Hib's post, I can imagine how much controversy that would have created here.

This is hilarious 😂 LMR the only legit one on the list, matter of fact you could probably throw a damn rock north/south/east/west in Houston or DFW and hit 4 better tuners. No shade to ECS they make great kits I just don’t have info on how they tune or any specific cars of theirs, I’d image they are legit though.

kudos for RPM each and every week Fran shows how he is a master tuning LS engine, not to mention Eric and Mat these guys can work on LS motor eyes shut. There’s RPM and the others

Nothing but good things to say about ECS .. I’ve used other people over the past 15 years on that list but ECS has been great and theyve been my go to for the last 5-7 years for things I can’t do or don’t have the time to do.


had no idea Hennessy was so bad.. wow.

Something has changed over there lately...I had them build my z06 back in about 2015 and they did a great job, the car is still kicking *** today.... but as of late I sent a friend there he spent like 30k and the car isn’t right. Seems like at that cost it would be perfect. There are other examples as of late as well if you search
