Default Tuners in Las Vegas?

Like many others here. Does anyone know of a good tuner in Las Vegas?

Thanks,

Clayton

Call Gill at Nevada Racing Products (NRP), located north of vegas at the track on I-15. If you can't contact him, call Combination Motorsports, they are LS1 wrench turners.

Clayton go to Tuckers performance center,they specialize in vettes, ask for Lee, very cool guy 5140 S.Carmen(#220-4660) Between Russell and Tropicana off of Harmon.

They know there stuff, and they just got a new Alignment rack installed, they treat your vehicle LIke it is there own, I had my Blk 98 coupe in there for a complete rearend reseal and Tranny flush, He took the whole damn carrier(rearend assembly plus everything else out and actually steam cleaned it) looks like new now, you wont find that service at a dealer, and the car was spotless when I got it back, no grease prints anywhere, very impressed and they come Highly recomended amongst the Las vegas corvetters.

Ah kick me in the head, Tuners... sorry, I take it you want a dyno shop.

Default Tuckers...never again!!

Actually I had Tuckers install my Vararam when I first got my car. They charged me $360 (4.5 hrs@ $80.00). After that it through codes and my temp gauge stopped working. I ended up finding the leaks from poor installation and after searching on the forum for answers, I reconnected the temp sensor. They charge a fortune for poor workmanship. I feel they screwed me. I considered posting this for a few days as I have never bashed a shop before, but they are just plain bad.

Funny you mention them. I called them about a tune and asked what software they used to tune an LS1. Ready for this one???

and I have used pretty much every shop in Southern California. I learned the hard way by going to other butcher shops until I found LAPD.

If you mean Combination Motor Sports, they don’t do the dyno tune. They send the car to Nevarez Racing which is also at the speedway. I recently found out about him and heard he is pretty good.

Clayton,


If you don't find anyone local and you don't want to make the drive to So Cal, I will be more than happy to make the trip and tune at a dyno near you.

If that is of interest, let me know.

Thanks,

Charlie

Holy dyno-saurs Bat Man!!! That is one hell of an offer. Why would you travel to Las Vegas just to tune my car? Oh I get it…LAS VEGAS…gotcha! Our corvette club has a drag event on April 1 at the speedway. I will bring it up and maybe set up to tune several cars. We have in the past had what we call “Dyno Days” events where for $50 everyone gets two pulls just to see their RWHP and RWT. A waste of time, in my opinion, if you don’t do anything with the information.

Also, HEY everyone in Las Vegas area. Why don’t we all get together and get a group dyno tune by a real pro? Post here if you are interested and if Charlie is interested.

Charlie, I think I can get you some deals here for you and your wife, girlfriend or whomever.

I think we may be onto something good!


Thanks,

Clayton,

The group dyno sounds like an excellent idea. See what you can do and I'll definitely make it a weekend.

Thanks,

Charlie

I've heard and read nothing but good things for years about Andy@A&A. I think Charlies offer is yet another example of what type of business Andy runs!

Clayton, Give me a call @ NRP. Gil is the man. We can even tune C6's now. We can make you a deal for a group tune if you can round up enough people. Jeff 499-1222

Clayton,
Count me in if you get a Dyno Day set up. I recently purchased my first vette and would like to know the current numbers she is putting out before any more mods.
