I live just south of Tucson and I can say that you will starve if its a "Corvette" only. There are a couple of shops here. Townsends and Don's Hot Rod but there is not much business. There is also one shop that escapes me that works on Mustangs and they fair fairly well. There are 2 big shops in Phoenix that do work on a lot of cars. You have PSR Tuning, they use M. O'Connor as their tuner. Then there is Loud Pedal performance they use another guy for their tuning Nick D.
If your going to open one up here your going to need capital to get you through probably the first year and in this town everyone tries to nickel and dime you to death. Worse I have ever seen anywhere.

About 5 years ago I was stationed in Sierra Vista (really close to Tuscon) Definatly was a market there for performance, never found any really great shops though. I do know there were always very long lines at the Tuscon raceway so the crowd was there, not sure how it is now after the economy got bad.
