Default [AUS]looking for a corvette tuner

I'm looking for a Corvette tuner in the Austin area to get LG longtube headers installed. I looked at the sponsor list and there are a few that are anywhere from 2-4 hours away (including LG) but I really want to find one that is closer.

Do it yourself it's really easy. If you don't want to tackle it then try Colvin Automotive on Hancock Dr, Austin Corvettes on N.Lamar, or Corvette Country on Mopac.

The last time I talked to ART they didn't have the HP tune yet, they're still telling me it's expected though.

I've seen posts where he has tuned several C5s, are we sure it it the same "Corey"?

Here is one:

Corey in New Braunfels has ran my C4 on a dyno during a F body dyno day a couple of years ago. I'm need to get a new clutch for my C5 and a dyno tune. I'm debating on which Corey to go with. Anyone have any experience with the guy in Buda? He is a new sponsor for the local vette club and is closer.

ART in Buda does work on 'Vettes. The owner has a C5 FRC and just sold his C6 Z06, I think he has a Viper also. Brand new building with an in floor Dynojet 248 but like I said earlier they don't have the HP tune yet. Give them a call.

First of all, it's Cody, not Corey. Cody Whitehead is the owner of A.R.T. Second, there is tuning software for the C-6, we just haven't purchased it yet. Give me a call here at the shop, and I can answer any questions you have.

Sorry about the name change Cody, I had a senior moment or two.

At least I got the Company name and phone number right.

I called Cody yesterday. Seems like a great guy. He is scheduled to install the clutch and do some dyno tweaking on my tune on the 17th.

I dropped my car off at American Racing Technology this morning. Nice shop. Very clean and professional. David, the counter man was very friendly and courteous. I have a good feeling about that place.

They are going to replace the clutch, possibly a bad slave cylinder and fix an exhaust leak at the headers. Then tweak the tune on the dyno. I hope to have it back Wednesday afternoon so I can take it to the social at Rudy's.
