Default Performance/Dyno Tune in Sacramento area?

Not too sure where a good shop is to get a tune at in the Sacramento area? Getting mixed reviews when I do a search on here.

forcefed used to be it. not sure they are still in business, if so, then if the same people are behind it. I doudt it.

Otherwise your in for a trek. Unless you can align mark roman and a dyno together.

You are absolutely right!
I was one of the unhappy customers of Force Fed.
I was a long time customer of Force Fed and I had hated what it had become. And I wasn't the only person in the Sacramento area that had the same feelings.
So, we decided to make a difference and we decided to purchase Force Fed and give it a MUCH needed face lift.
Some new investors, some new blood willing to work hard and deliver a quality, finished, complete product is what was needed.
We will be open to the public on Aug 1. We will be taking care of existing Force Fed customers that have had past issues, as well as building relationships with new ones.
We have a new website with the old one linking over to our new one. Www.force-fed.com
We have a Facebook page and we will soon have an Instagram page.

I heard that Starkweather's Performance & Tuning in Turlock which is only a little over an hour down the highway is a pretty hot tuner for the LS engines.

Thanks for all the recommendations guys. My next idea was to ask a few people at Sacramento raceway.

the ONLY tuner I would ever take my car to in Norcal is Matt at GP tuning. I've had cars at every other LS tuner in norcal from synergy to borelli to newtech and I'm not going to slam them on here but I will never go back to any of the other norcal tuners even if they paid me and tune was free. If GP tuning is not around then Cunningham in Socal is the only other good tuner in California that I personally would go to. Dont' be stupid like me and try to take your car to whatever tuner is convenient and have their horrible/lazy tune ruin your brand new forged stroker motor....

We are bringing Keith back to do tuning with us.
He's been tuning for years and his experience and knowledge is invaluable!

His relationship with HP Tuners and EFI Live on product inhancements and development has led to some great tuning software in the industry and he is one of the best LSX tuners around.

Also, just as an FYI
If you do, end up, taking your car elsewhere and want to try us out after the fact, bring it by and we will tune it for you...and if we don't provide you a better driving, more powerful setup, we won't charge you! That's how confident we are in our services!

I hope you check us out and I assure you, you won't be disappointed.

you my friend have a deal.

I purchased some high dollar item from force fed last year and Keith took care of me. He literally talked my ear off for more than a half an hour until my head nearly exploded. I never have been more enlightened about car performance. He truly is a wealth of info and experience and is willing to share. Hard to find.

Yup, that's Keith

And just an FYI, Matt and I are the same way here at Force Fed. So don't be surprised if any one of us talk your ear off!
