I need to come down out of the mountains (Steamboat) and get my car serviced, i.e. VATS / Ignition switch replaced and the column lock recall work. I'll most likely take it to Purifoy's for that work. But over the winter (I don't have mod fever) I've collected and will install, B&B shorty headers, TI catback exhaust, K&N filter with '04 Z06 air box lid, B&M shifter, 180 degree thermostat and a host of other non performance related items. I'd like to get the car dyno tuned at that time. Who can do this in the Denver area? Any recommendations?
I know there is a tuner called dragon race engineering in broomfield they have a dyno there, haven't been there yet but plan on it, their link is on the left side about half way down.

The CCC used the dragon dyno once, the dyno is a little scary being elevated as it is, but they build and tune some serious chevy engines. They seem to know there stuff and can build and tune with the best of them. There were some 6 and 7 hundred horsepower vettes there when we went. I thought they presented themselves well and seemed to know what was what. Lars is our tuner and he had nothing bad to say even though there was an incident with his car, that says something.
Its a '99 vert MN6. Local Chevy dealers in Northwest Co. don't work on vettes or at least the c5's. I couldn't even get the tires changed up here. I have a good friend and mechanic who does most of my work but he didn't feel comfortable tearing into the VATS ignition switch. Now if it would just stop snowing, I could get it out of storage.

Picking my baby up this afternoon, after a 2 week vacation at Dragon Race. Pete at Dragon Race is the guy you need to talk to. He tuned mine after my cam swap (that they also did), and it was dialed in.
They are putting on my LT headers, hi flow cats, and porting my heads. Hopefully it will be ready today, as I can't wait to drive it!
Good luck and let us know what you think!
I haven't had any problems there, although that elevated dyno is a little scary at first!
yep i would say take it to dragon that is where we send our cars till i can buy the LT-1 edit and LS-1 edit again! we do the dyno pulls at dyno pro's for tuning because keiths shop is right down the street!
