Mail order tune question
I am going to be doing AR long tubes, intake, and Mayhem II cam install soon and wondering if there is anybody that can recommend someone to do a tune to get it pretty close until I am able to get the car into someone that can put it on a dyno and really tune it. I want to be able to enjoy it after I get this all done and am going to be doing the install myself.
Thank you for any help you have!

Chuck at corvettes of Westchester. COW. When I had my 00 6 speed I added LG long tube headers with high flow cats X pipe z06 ti mufflers. I also had a black wing cai. Felt a difference in the car after all the mods. After the bench tune from COW it was like a totally different car in a good way. Throttle response was better and the car was fast.

why not talk to the person who is going to do the final tune after the install?... surely they can work a base tune into the deal so you aren't paying for it twice

Simply because.....
As you modify the car, you send in datalogs and we can adjust the tune for you without additional expense.
Call any time!

nothing against you or what you do but I've seen plenty of hacked up mail tunes... it may be ok for simple bolt ons but when you start getting into cams, boost, etc, I would rather take my car and have it personally tuned... not to mention the time it takes going back and forth sending logs or finding time in both people's schedules to have it remotely tuned and the customer must also have whatever tuning program you use (most likely hp tuners) in order to datalog and rewrite their own pcm when the changes have been made... this is just my opinion though
