Default Tuning

Hey I am in need of good tuner in the Las Vegas area. I will need a tuner that can reliably tune a LS2 402, F1R, 3Bar SD tune. I have all supporting mods like fuel system, Meth forged moter ect. Any help would be greatly appreciated but I am afraid I might have to drive car to LA or Arizona

If I were you, I would be taking a trip to A&A and talking to Andy!

I would not trust an average everyday tuner with your setup! Just my .02

There's a good tuner in Vegas IIRC, but I can't remember their name. If I come across it, I'll let you know.

Hey I looked at that thread and it was pretty old and I think some of those shops have closed down, any current updated shops?

Hey leo12, I have been talking to people that is why I am on here in the first place. I am not new to this game and know that picking a good tuner is important and not picking one just bec they advertise it on their webpage. So unless you have any constructive advice please stay off my thread.

I would check out the A&A site and look at their vendors. I would hope that all of the A&A approved vendors are good tuners.

Leo12 thanks and I understand. I did try and call Andy @A&A and he told me my build was too big and since he did do the build would not perform the tuning so back to square one. I did talk to Garth at LEP and he would prefer to have another tuner come into town to do it and does not know when that might be. So any other help would be great.

If you own HPtuners, (Edcmat-L1) Ed Hutchings might be able to remote tune your car.

Try Wicked HP or Sam at Fairway Chevrolet. I have not used either but the Sin City vette club has recommended both.

if you decide to come to LA, call me. I do a fair amount of out-of-state tuning and will gladly give you local references from others in your area that have traveled here.

@C_Williams, I did give you guys a call and left a message but have not received a call back.

@DNAST1, I have tried to call Cody at Wicked HP but have not received a call back either, do you have a good # for Sam at Fairway Chevy and does he have a dyno that he has access to/any proven tuned cars?
