Default Tuners

Does anyone have any good leads on a reliable tuner in the GTA ?
have done some minor changes to my C5 and looking to get the most out of it,or close to it,without killing the thing.

Thanks Al

They're at 1861 O'Connor Dr.
Give Rob a call at work: 416-751-8047

Doubt you'd find a better tuner than Kevin at Champion's.
MAF tuned multiple 1000+HP Vettes making them perfectly streetable.

Don't bother with the posers , you will just end up with a wanabe tune .
Champions tuner Kevin is the best hands down and Rob will always make sure that you are looked after .
When you can tune a Corvette that pulls less than 71 kph vacum and still be street driven on pump gas and run AC then , talk the talk untill then Kevin is only guy that would ever touch my baby . He make's my vette and every car he tunes

So call Rob and set up a time to see Kevin

Signed :
Tuned by Kevin
