Hey Samantha,

A.R.E. is a great starting point.... :thumbs: in fact, might be the best place to address all your needs. One of the top tuners around, and located fairly close to you !!

Like the other great vendors/tuners from this site, they can address your needs, whether your on a budget and considering an entry level Head/Cam package to a full blown 436 cu monster.

I was just there in December, and got a Stage I H/C package.

I had basic bolt ons and a tight budget and opted for an entry level H/C package. A lot of bang for the buck IMO with this aggressively designed Stage I H/C package. One of the most aggressive (in terms of performance) Stage One packages out there.

Check out my posts for more details on the H/C package and my experience with them:

Hope this helps and welcome to the Forum !!!

Tks, for the replys.
Going with ARE. I also talked to another friend who said their work is top shelf. I will be giving them a call to schedule the work next month.

Thank you again for the help.

Sam, you will not be dissapointed with any of ARE's products and services, and they are also not located very far away from youl, which is a very important aspect when shopping for a performance tuner.

If you have any questions or inquiries about any of ARE's products or servives, please drop me an email at mattglas@sympatico.ca . I work for them in handling online sales and marketting of their products and services and can give you any pricing or product information you will need, as well as book you in for installations, etc. Also, if you would like to discuss details or options over the phone, include your phone number and a good time to get ahold of you and I will give you a call.

Hi Samantha -

make sure you take a look at our website:
http://www.lingenfelter.com

We have been doing Corvette engine packages for over 20 years, and we were the first to offer engine packages for the LS1. One other thing to consider is that we back every car we build with a 2yr/24,000 mile warranty, not everybody does that.

feel free to contact me if you have any questions,
Ed
