Default DFW - Who's tuning your C7?

I have a C7 on order (Z51 2LT). Just curious who is tuning your C7? I've been out of the corvette scene for about 7 years. Looking for a new tuner. At some point I will be getting some bolt ons and would like to install them myself and take it some where for a tune.

Mine is tuned by Matt at 21st Century Muscle Cars in Addison. He is very knowledgeable and my car runs perfectly!

Plus 1 for Matt Garcia and the 21st Century Muscle Cars team. Matt won't blow a car up chasing the last 5hp on the table, he'll give you a safe tune that is rock solid and within your car's limits. 21st will treat you like family. I've been using them for various services and parts for years at this point and they are my go to shop.

Other great Vette tuners in the area include James Karger and Sam Miller. All three of these tuners tune very similarly (I've used all 3) and they are all authorities on all things Fast and GM. I would trust them with my car any day of the week and twice on Sunday.

James Karger (Calibrated by Karger aka LStuner.com) is in Haslet. Sam Miller (Advanced Modern Performance) is in Arlington. They are two of the best GM tuners in the world, literally. A quick search of their names will tell you all you need to know. They build/tune REALLY fast cars.

Thanks all. I used 21st back when I had a C5 Z. Do they still have those racecarts in the garage? Almost bought one of those bad boys!

I just wanted to see who else is out there. I've heard some shops are not ready to start working on the LT1 yet so was curious!

He is about to retune mine in a couple of weeks. I have a few more mods that should get me into the low 700's to the rear wheels. It's nice that it behaves like stock until you get into boost. I didn't see any carts when I was in there last time.

You could also bring the C7 up to the NCCO Show in June and let Chuck CoW Tune it there.
