Default Great LAPD Tune Up!

I am very happy with the LS1 Edit & Dyno tune from LAPD! The final numbers were Max HP = 352.77 and Max Torque = 379.01. The biggest gain was the torque, which increased 57 ft lbs! The car is much more responsive, accelerates better, and idles smoother than it did before the tune up. My car hasn’t idled well since I bought it almost three years ago. Shawn was correct, when he said that they had a very experienced tuner, that they would take the time to do a good job, and that I would be happy with how well the car would run.

Thanks for the kind words. I really appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

Frankly, we are very pleased to be in the position to offer this service and look forward to serving the entire LS1/LS6 community. In addition, because our dyno is 4WD, we are also able to tune any of GM’s LS1 based 4WD trucks including the Hummer and even the 8.1-liter Suburban.

Thanks again,

Shawn

Nice gains. I've got to find a good tuner in this area (St. Louis or KC). Anybody know of one?
