Nic D will be doing 99% of the quality local tunes. He does solid work.

Depending on setup I may do it, and if it is a more extreme build Tony@UMS does a great job too.

NicD is one source for tunes in the Tempe area. Another is VETTECULTURE in Mesa. (I am certain there are MANY more in the Valley). They have a Tech2 (?) on staff every day and he is a MECHANIC, trained by GM (I believe), so what he looks for in his work is more "in tune" with what the physical engine is telling him at the time he is doing the tune. He is also intimately involved in HIGH HORSEPOWER Mods (blowers, cams, heads, everything in Corvette Performance - not "merely "tunes").
"Others" do it from "a text book" stand point and have NO mechanical experience whatsoever - sorry Nic.
I DON'T MEAN ANY OFFENSE WHATSOEVER, BUT NIC HAS "NO MECHANICAL SKILLS/INTUITION. He is merely reading from his tuner and pushing "yes/no". It is merely "a hobby" that provides a little spending money for him, I'm told.

I AM NOT STATING THIS FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE, BUT AM RELAYING THIS TO YOU FROM MY FELLOW ENTHUSIASTS THROUGHOUT THE PHOENIX METRO AREA WHO HAVE SHARED THIS WITH ME. LIKE I SAID -
NOTHING I AM SAYING IS MEANT TO DISCREDIT THE MAN - JUST TO PASS ON, FROM EXPERIENCED OWNERS AND CORVETTE REPAIR PERSONS IN THIS AREA, WHAT I'VE BEEN TOLD.

Please, don't take this statement at face value - QUESTION local Corvette Shops around town and get their opinion.
If what I have heard from others and passed along to you is incorrect, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

All of this post is hearsay (told to you by others) and parts of it are just false (Nic has extensive mechanically experience). These kinds of posts should probably be limited to personal experience where you can be questioned about your knowledge by those that disagree. This is exactly why this kind of "testimony" is properly not allowed in most court proceedings.

I THOUGHT I WAS ON "THE CORVETTE FORUM" AND ALLOWED TO SPEAK FREELY??
AS A MATTER OF FACT, I DO (UNFORTUNATELY) HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH HIM AND HAD TO HAVE MY Z RE-DONE BY A PROFESSIONAL, THAT HAS $ INVESTED IN A BRICK & MORTAR SHOP, WHICH ALSO BACKS UP THEIR WORK. NIC DID/DOES NOT!

I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT, IN YOUR MIND(), I MUST BE SUPPEONAED, & BROUGHT IN FOR SWORN TESTIMONY!!
SURE GLAD I DON'T LIVE IN YOUR WORLD!!

I REFUSE TO BANTER ANY FURTHER RE: YOUR "JUSTIFICATION" OF AN AMATUER NON MECHANIC, WHO TAKES YOUR MONEY FOR AN OUT OF THE BOX STOCK TUNE. GLAD YOU ARE SO EASILY PLEASED - MAKE'S IT THAT MUCH EASIER.................................. ....
GOD BLESS!!

I think the changes in your facts (now you do have personal experience) and the extreme nature of your posts, will provide the readers of this thread with all they need to judge the veracity of your posts. Making any further posts here unnecessary.

NDA is completely wrong. Nic is the only person in the valley that should be tuning from my experience. The fact that he doesn't own a shop doesn't mean crap. He is the only one reliably putting out high horse reliable power cars time and time again. He does not do "box tunes" and has enough mechanical know how to put together some of the fastest LS cars in the state in his own garage.

I also don't own a shop, but have tuned 100+ LS cars, from 350rwhp basic bolt on LS1s to 1200+rwhp drag cars, bottom 8 second drag cars, etc, and I've seen a TON of local tunes from various tuners. The only person I would even consider letting touch one of my cars if I didn't tune myself is Nic.

"I have stated my opinion and stand by it.
You have stated yours and stand by it.
We will all go our way believing what we see "as truth". Obviously that is the way it should be. To have an opinion, when a question is asked, to respond from our heart and to move forward living life AS WE BELIEVE.

Thanks for the discussion!

But when an opinion is full of lies, ********, and propaganda, that is no longer an opinion. You state several things in your "opinion" that are just wrong. As long as people know your opinion is based on ********, that is fine, have whatever opinion you want.

Nic owns and has personally built his cars which are some of the fastest lsx cars in the state lol. NDA the people i think your referring to are drinking off AEM's koolade and have absolutely no knowledge in the matter. Heck ask vetteculture were their tuner went. or the one before that guy.
