Kansas City area performance
I am looking for a place in the KC area that will dyno/tune a C5. I am also looking for some place wthat does performance mods for the future. I am looking at forged bottom end, heads & cam, LTs that will match my corsa cat back, and a SC setup probably D1 from procharger. I would like to dyno with what I am currently at then as I build on dyno and see the differences. I am also looking for a good tire shop that will be able to put some 315/30/18s on my backs and 275/40/17 on the front while keeping RFs and tire pressure sensors. ANY help please.

Re: Kansas City area performance (Jim Shearer)
Try Raging Motorsports in Stilweel KS. They do dyno tuning and engine mods. They specialize in LS1/LS6 only. (913) 814-7243.
btw, have you personally gotten work done at RMS? i'm curious, because i have heard VERY mixed info about RMS, and some real nightmare stories.
btw, alot of good local ls1/ls6 info can be found at http://www.mogmhp.com (Missouri GM High Performance).

Tattooed,
I have not had any work done by Raging but two of my friends have had their Vette worked on. One had heads, cam and dyno tune. The other had cam and dyno tune. They use LS1 Edit and don't lock it so you can tweak if you want. Their cars run great!
They do good work at MC Racing but it is VERY hard to get in touch with them.

Re: Kansas City area performance (tattooed)
I had some stuff done at Raging Motorsports - overall I was happy with my experience there.
Also had work done at MC Racing, no complaints there either!
These are the only two options I am aware of with dyno and tuning capability. I would check them both out. Good luck.

I've heard good things about MC Racing. Talked to them about an ATI Procharger install on mine. Very friendly and knowledgeable.
