Default Dyno/Tune in NoVA

I know that Phil does incredible tuning but I am looking for someone that has a dyno so I can have a baseline. As it is I think my car is on the week side of power and just need #'s to see if I'm just crazy

Thanks!

tony charges like $700 to do a tune and his tunning is usually very conservative. If you up for a drive, Vette Dr.s, or east coast supercharging will be half the price and might get you more out of the tune.

You have such a nice car and if you pay 700 for a tune you are crazy. You can get it all done in a one day trip. The time on dyno is only 1.5 hours at the most. I would do it if I were you and it will only cost you a tanks and a quarter of gas. I just drove back from NC to Boston. I dont think you are too far to have a quality tune.

I bought C6 while I was staying in Northen VA. After spending months looking for a good tunning shop to tune my Nitrous, Carilina Auto Masters was the only choice. They use HP Tuners whitch has included access to the TCM and Jeff is one of the most highley reqarded tuners on the East Coast.

Although I brought my car down to Houston because of the winter before I could take off a weekend to go down there, I am eager to bring it back up here to enjoy aswell as to have Jeff tune it for me.

If you do not have any major modifications then you could probley do a mail order tune with jeff. Good Luck
