Default tuners in so cal

Im getting ready to put some bolt ons on my ls3. I already bought some mickey thompson drag radials. I want to get a cold air, 160stat, and a tune. Can anybody give me some good feedback on orange county corvette. I have had some bad experiences in the past with tuners.

I haven't had any work done at OCC, however their shop lead person is on top of his game (ask to talk to the shop manager) for the mods you wold like to add. I have had WCC do a few things for me but when I went for the bomb I had Callaway do my SC stage one and suspension pkg. I am very happy with Callaway.



good luck!

Don't know if you want to drive 90 miles south to San Diego, but if you will then I highly recommend Excelsior Motorsports. Kushan really knows his stuff and he has his own in house dyno. He knows what works and what doesn't.
My 08 is there for 3:15 gears, AR headers, K&N, 180 stat, ported throttle body, and a tune.
I'll keep you posted.

No one makes more horsepower than Charlie. Charlie is the best tuner, period.

Most recent work done by Charlie Really stands by his work, with OUTSTANDING post-work support, which is really important when you're talking about serious mods. Also had good prior experience with OCC.
