Tad at Haddad Motorsports tuned my 08 C6, and picked up HP and TQ over the previous socal tuners I had been to. He also kept it nice and safe...

Aren't you the guys I ran into at WCCH in Reseda about 9 months ago? You were in a Black STR8.

If so, there are a few guys with TBSS's looking for a good shop in Temecula area.

Without a doubt Doug Stalter from DTS. He is a beta tester for HP tuners, and a real professional and perfectionist at his work. In my opinion the best tuner out there, period and end of story. He is not an amature, that is for sure.

A person needs to be careful when taking recommendations about using "top tuners". More and more, tunes are showing up from some of the biggest and most popular tuners and these tunes are turning out to be be far from good. I am not knocking anyone in particular, but if a person was to provide a "Top Five" list of what most people would consider to be the best tuners around, I bet three of those five have provided some very shoddy tunes.

When looking for a tuner I would start with some very basic questions:
- "What injectors do you have ALL of the settings for"? I.e. not just IFR.
- "What methodology do you use for working around IFR and MAF limitations"?

+1 for Doug. I am a tuner myself and he would be my recommendation to you.

This is ABSOLUTELY 100% TRUE. Many of the biggest shops do some of the worst tuning. ASK your tuner what he will use to scan and tune with. If it's not EFIL or HPT, I would be skeptical. Many "big-time" tuners think that it is still ok to tune by raping the injector flow rate rather than actually calibrating the MAF/VE as if it was still the year 2000 and Edit was the only tuning tool in town.

I have retuned many pro "shop" tunes and they were half-assed. The WOT was all that was adjusted and this includes heads/cam cars. It is not how many cars you tune but, how many were tuned right. The problem lies is knowing enough about tuning to ask the right questions. I have pleasure of taking the customer with me and we go through the tables that I am adjusting and why I am doing it.
