I'm doing some upgrades on my 95 GT and want to get it retuned when its done. I know at this point I'm going to have to get a new chip. I want it right and dont mind traveling a bit to get it done so post up who you trust to tune your rides and maybe some contact info if you have it. [burnout]

Also im not a chevy guy im a go fast guy,it doesnt matter what kinda car it is as long as its fast....I currently own a 86 fox with over 450 wheel with heads cam bolt ons and a 125 shot.i also own a 72 vega with a small block goes low 9s.So again as long as its fast its kewl with me brand doesnt matter....

I would check out RPM in Rohnert Park. I went there yesterday for a dyno tune....no chips involved and I drove out of there with 100 extra rear wheel horsepower(at 4500 rpm). They brought my air fuel levels down to where they should by adjusting the timing and fuel pressure. The car drive perfectly smooth with no stutters. Im very pleased with the professional and knowledgeable service.

I have an Autologic chip in the car right now but dont know much about it other than it was installed and tunned in 2001. I was only kidding about the Chevy guy stuff....

Give them a call.

707-584-8230 speak to either Brad or Martin.

How much did they charge you and what kind of car did they tune for you? I thought they were crazy because they wanted to charge me around 1,200 [Eek!] to tune my 91 heads and cam mustang which I thought was insane!

certainly nothing close to that.
If you/anyone else is interested i'd get on the phone and talk to the owner.
Might not be the $399 tune that you get elsewhere, But it will not be a 399 quality tune/customer service that you get there either.. get what i'm saying?
