Default Tuner in Pittsburgh area

Hi everybody,

I have a 01 six speed coup and am thinking about going to a reputable tuner for a H/C package. From what I've read, it's good to pick a tuner thats close by. My options so far are Cartek (7 hours east) or LPE (7 hours west). Any suggestions?? :confused:

I live in Morgantown WV about 1.5 hours south of Pittsburgh

There is another shop called strope speed shop just outside of PBH. I have heard mixed things about their work, but good things about their LS1 edit abilities. If LPE is an option for you I would go that route, unless you are going for all out power then probably Cartek.

Well, it depends on how much you want to spend and how much warranty/customer service you want after the sale. If you go LPE, you are pretty much guranteed a rock solid setup and a good warranty to back it up. But that comes with the additional price. All depends on how much you want to compromise.
