DynoTuner
Has anyone used AGP Speed and Custom in Newmarket for Dyno tuning. They are not far from me and was considering getting them to tune my LS3, any feedback would be appreciated.

Been there, done that. Nick is very knowledgeable in his field, has installed many s/c on cars and trucks along with his own Camaro. He did my LS3 and am very satisfied, would i return ? Definatley. Hope this helps.

Used Nick Kemp ( AGP CUSTOM) to tune my 1998 Camaro 383 . He did an awesome job at straightening out my driveability issues as well as WOT.
Would highly recommend him..great guy as well.

Cannot answer your question as I'm near the west coast 
I was just reading your other thread regarding a dyno tune with interest. I've never tuned or for that matter looked @ a LS3 manual Corvette tune file........so I just pulled up a tune up for a look 
I see some tweaks that could be done for improved throttle response & maybe a wee bit more power. Maybe ask the tuner what you should expect that way & of course before & after dyno runs. I don't fully understand the LS3 torque management tables, nothing looks horribly invasive.
LS2's are brutal for knock retard, a simple plug change can make a notable difference. Not only would you maintain power you can squeeze a little more timing & improve. You may ask that question regarding LS3's.
What I was going to suggest in your other thread that is often overlooked is a simple(not inexpensive) is a gear change. In my frenzy of modification's that is near the top list for best bang for buck & near zero trade off modifications.

I agree with the above. Not only did Nick do a great job tuning my supercharged CTS-V, but he was cheaper then the 2 shops that are mentioned on the Cdn site and has many years of experience that I never realized.
The business is family ran and it's evident! Good luck with the tune....

thnks I think I'll be using Nick, he seems like he know's his way around a dyno, I kind of thought so but getting references from other vette owners is reassuring. I think we met at Tim's in Keswick over the summer? Your car will haul after the SC install, good luck with it.

Got tuned today
Got my dyno tune done today by Nick at AGP speed and Custom, and yes great shop great guys, would recommend anytime.
My 2010 GS with just Airaid intake and Bullet axle back rest stock put down 401rwhp with 403trq.
The mid range and throttle response itself makes it all worth while, drives like a different car, seems to have woken it up, very happy.
