I've been looking for one too. Hard to believe there are no good options in the motor city!

Not specifically a Corvette mechanic, but on the east side I take both my cars to

D&P Complete Auto Service
28023 Gratiot
Roseville 586-498-8980

The owner Dave Kupinski specializes in muscle cars of all types. The parking lot usually looks like a car show. His rates are much better than some of the specialty shops that always seem to poo-poo C4's.

cheers, steve

They have a good reputation but they are busy.

Do any of those shops mentioned do a computer tune for 1993 LT1?

I've met this guy, seemed pretty decent and knowledgeable to me. Good starting point.

What area are you in and what do you need done?

Not 100% but I don't think so. There is one place which does OBD1 and it's Vector Motorsports in Brighton. Mixed reviews as far as i've researched.

I have a stock lt1 with bosch 4 injectors and I have a stock intake that was ported that I haven't put on yet. My goal is to increase fuel economy. I'm unusually running at lowest rpm in the highest gear. Right now I watch the instant mileage reading to help determine when to downshift. Considering installing a vacuum gauge also. My best was 33.4 mpg actual on fillup. I assume a tune would help with the injectors and changing the intake. I do have a k&n filter but been using a paper element.
