Default Synergy or Borelli for Dyno Tune or somewhere else?

Hi All, I want to Dyno tune my 05 C6 that I just put on a fast 102 intake and C6Z exhaust. I have talked to Borelli and Synergy and they both do Dyno tunes. Has anyone used either of these places or know of a great place in the Bay Area for a tune? Thanks!

Synergy cost $500 first time. Rick is an LS guru.

You will not be able to watch either.

Borelli I used in the past and they are just too damn expensive. They think they are the best but really just want to make the big buck off their customers.

What do you mean by I won't be able to watch?

The shop is off limits to customers.

Didn't used to be this way but now it is.

I am sure his big paying repeat customers get back there though, but it is not freely open.

He is the best though.

Wow this is the best area for LS tuning you have many to choose from and several that are really good. I have only been to one and I dropped the car off and came back 6 hrs. Later and paid the man. So go with your gut or the guy with the most fans. I like Synergy 50 miles away I have guy 10 min. Away must say something.

I have had both Synergy and GP Tuning tune my car and feel both are very qualified. I liked the fact that Matt from GP Tuning allowed me to watch him tune my car.

Thank you all for the support. To touch on the subject of not being allowed to roam around the shop, yes, no one should be allowed to just roam around. Too many times do you have people that love to roam around, and its very difficult to do our job and keep an eye on people. When you have had people walk by vettes and put scratches in the paint from trying to squeeze by, or pick up parts to look at them, you have to ask, would my customer appreciate this. The answer is no. Yes its exciting, but at the end of the day, I am responsible for your vehicle. So I have to make the choice to say no. We also share a building with another race shop and they do not want people walking around the back areas either. Now what we do allow now is that when we make our last pulls, we can bring you back and let you take a video or two, but thats the best we can do. Again, this comes down to protecting every one that does work with us. It may seem harsh at first, but I have gotten thanks as well from those who have their cars here also. So I do appreciate those that understand. It only took a few to ruin it for the rest. Kind of the old saying I guess.

Rick

The good thing is that I'm sure Rick didn't have a problem getting someone to take your spot.

That's how I got in a few weeks ago. Lucked out. Guess some had to go look for their dog lol.

Better safe then sorry teddy.
