Default Advice on tune/mechanic near Boulder,CO

Hello-


Just landed a 99 C5 auto with Borla cat back and CAI. Was having a rev limiter issue prior to sale so seller took it to dealer and the end result was a re flash. Just wondering if there are some recommendations of folks I can talk to about taking care of this car (39K miles). Tune, Interior, mechanical inspection- all the fun stuff. Thanks for any advice!!

For a tune, I recommend going with Clint at American Intense Racing (AIR), which is in Arvada. He did a real nice job with my tune after I rebuilt my motor.

Default Thanks again

Thanks to all for advice (mostly via PM) I went with Corvette Connection in Denver and I got to tell ya- top notch group a guys. I got a full bumper to bumper inspection and the results were very positive. Also I now know my options regarding any future service or mods... 30JAN2016- Highly recommend Rich whom I spent over an hour on the phone discussing options. Everything from headers to ProCharger. Quality spot for your vette in Denver.

Kind of in the same boat you guys are. Had my previous C6 worked on by a company no longer around (they did a great job) and am getting ready to buy a ZO6 - but no clue where to take it for top notch performance items and tuning.

Have read on here AIR is ok, don't know the gentleman.

Have also read very mixed reviews on Corvette Connection.

Sucks, seems all the top-notch shops are on the coasts or down around the gulf.

If anyone has any other suggestions, I'm all ears.

I'm looking for a great shop, good prices and not a dealer if I can help it. I sent a PM but I'm new too. Many swear by either shop .. You can take that both ways lol...

I took my 67 to be dyno-tuned at Lundstedt Automotive in Ft. Collins. They did a great job and were really friendly.
