Default Mods in No. CO

Looking for recommendations on shops to install CAI, headers and a tune that doesn't compromise driveability.

Thanks,

Mike

I would normally recommend you to Dragon Race Engineering, although I think they need to get a few things straitened out first.

I have gone with Altitude Intense Racing, A.I.R who is party owned by a guy named Clint Baxtrom. I would give him a call. He has recently installed my meth kit, new pulley on the blower along with a dyno and street tune.. My little C-5 ZO6 is now putting down 657 RWHP with 9psi and runs absolutely great. Until you put your foot in it you would never know it has this kind of power.. He is located in the Brighton area.

My car is up at AIR getting an APS turbo put on, I can't tell you if they're doing a crap job since it isn't done yet
so far they've been great. They're out in brighton so it shouldn't be too far from you.

07 base
they're doing the APS TT, a spec 3+ clutch (they gave me a great deal on the clutch actually) and they're going to pop the boost gauge, pod, and wideband O2 sensor/controller/gauge in for me and dyno tune the thing.

it's a real small shop, seems like they do a lot of Fbody stuff, but a pretty nice facility and nice guys to work with. I think he's working on a webpage and is taking pics and vids of my build to use, did I mention that?

Corvette Connections in Denver does a lot of that stuff too. Never had any work done there myself, but have heard of others going there.

Guess it all depends on what you want to do with the car. Personally dont get making a car have more HP if ya can't drive it to its full potential as it is now!

DeWild Motorsports does good work on Vettes and he also has colorados fastest c6z06 that he has worked and tuned on 100% himself!


He also still holds the fastest quarter mile record for a stock IRS Zr1 that has not been bested to this date!

NITROUS JUNKIE has the "Fastest" N/A c6z06 at our drag strip. Unless he has put that car in the 10's without spray and bumped the MPH a little. If so then he is "fastest" C6Zo6 at the strip in CO and maybe the world

Dewild Performance is in the midle of a full shop build right now, but Rod could fit you in for those easy mods as they have a 2 bay garage to work in currently and a 4 post...MUCH more to come in the near future.

They rebuilt my 454 LS7 and tuned it in 2 weeks, so your headers, CAI and tune should not be a problem.

username : Nitrous Junkie, he is located in Commerce City.

Yellow don’t let that take away from the fact that he does good work.
