Default New to Denver, looking to get tuned

Hello everyone just moved here and it seems that the car is way more sluggish up here as opposed to Texas which I know that altitude hurts. Is there any good shops south of Denver that has a dyno and good with our cars?
Also how is Bandimere Speedway? I went out last Friday night to spectate and there were some pretty fast vette's out there!

Thanks, Dean

Look in this section a couple threads down, there are a couple threads on Tuners alone, no need to start this argument again.

Welcome to Colorado.

Thanks guys for the replies and PM's. Actually Bill's car is the one I saw at the event Friday before last running mid 10's and by the time I got out of the stands I guess he already left I actually tracked it down on youtube. Ed Bozarth had also passed along his name. So I stopped by this afternoon just to see where his shop was and found him tuning a range rover on one dyno, and a ZL1 strapped down on the other dyno. I told him it was up between him and a few other people I was checking out and he told me that I couldn't go wrong with any of those suggestions in reality it's more of a personal preference and partnership as long as they know what they are doing. I guess one of the other tuners recommended is a good friend of his and he even recommended him as well lol. Sharp guy with a great demeanor about him

Thanks everyone
Dean

It's actually his wife's (Kiersten) ZO6, since he bought the Ferrari!

Walhan, it is a 44x C.I H/C car, higher compression, etc. He told me the details when he first got it..

I talked to him the other day and he is throwing on a 100 shot, want's to bottom out the 10's with it. I'll get more details when I go down this week to pick up a car he is doing for us..

Does Bill have experience with high hp E85 cars? I am looking to get my tune tweaked and I will not be returning to the previous shop I have been at.

Hey, Keith.. Yes, he is good with e85 and is one to really do his research as well. I have been trying to get mine tuned with another guy up here near me on our dyno, but our paths keep crossing. When I was at Bill's this last weekend him and I were discussing it and I might just run my car down to him and leave it for a bit so he can do the e85 tune..

Go talk to him, great guy and a true (knowledgeable) gear head..

Tell him Tracy sent you, oh and these other guys too!
