Although it's not in Michigan I would recommend DTE Powertrain in Ft. Wayne, Indiana. I drove 4 hours to have them work on my car because of their reputation for top notch work. They're a supporting vendor. Check 'em out...

If you call he will answer the phone as South kent mini storage. Ask for Ty mason. He runs his shop out the storage place.

I don't know if he is doing just dyno tunes but check with RoadRebel here on Forum - his is close to you - if he hasn't the time, possibly he can direct you to someone in your area.

with the recommendation! Phil has never worked on my car, but I've gotten tuning advice from him and the man KNOWS HIS STUFF!

I wish that I knew what Phil forgot about these cars!

You might want to call him now though because the man stays busy!

Try Kirk Dearhamer @ Vector Motorsports. They do excellent work although not cheap.

I heard nothing but good things about Livernios other than the fact they are a bit expensive.

If you are interested in Livernois then contact and ONLY speak with Rick Leblanc. He is a righteous dude.

Have you had a personal experience with us? I'm sorry you've heard some negative things about our shop. I'll admit that in the past we may have had some issues, but within the last three to four years or so I think all of that has changed. Our staff is passionate about the work they do. I'd be happy to sit down and talk with anyone or show you around the shop so you can see some of the work we do in person.

You can also view some of the customer vehicles we've worked on at the following link:

Thank you

Regards,

Rick LeBlanc
