Apexmotorsports does not have their tuner there anymore so I am looking for another place. I talked to two places today. DreamSpeed Motorsports: They sounded very nice and I am just hesitent because they havent done a contour before. Wanted to charge me $700 Jeff S. Tuning: Wanted to charge me around $700-900. Any ideas? 3L process done

Johnny got his done there as well as Dion. PM those guys for answers to specific questions. Money doesn't always bring happiness.

I looked into it. 6hrs there then I would need to spend the night there. 6hrs back. Thats at least two tanks of gas. $80 there and the hotel for a night $60. I will call tomorrow and see what I will be running for the price. It would be nice but I doubt I will have the time with school and all. This it the website for DreamSpeed Motorsports. It looks like alot of vette tuning. This is what made me feel more comfertable. DreamSpeed Motorsports Thanks for the help. 3L process done

If you can schedule a time with him on the weekends you would be set. I was charged $1,035.00 and that was for the chip/tune and to fix the cams that weren't put in correctly Built April 18th 1998 #5770 of 6535 Reborn: July 11, 2004 3L and gone again 12/13/2005 new ride: 98 Silver frost SVT with all my old goodies!!!!

(dont ask!). only took Keith a little over an hour to do my car, although i just had a chip burned. i take my cobra to RET in Downey, where just about every cobra in the LA area goes to. he does SCT tuning and just Fords. he hasnt done any contours, that i know of, but he is an awesome tuner none-the-less and has great customer service. everybody loves him which is why he's become so popular. a lot of SD guys come out just for his dyno days! hit him up and see what he has to say. his name is Greg. here's a thread about him on SVTperformance.com and i only recommend RET if you dont want to make the drive to ADC. RET is awesome but ADC is THE contour tuning shop. Originally posted by Tourgasm: Sometimes you can mess up a word so bad that spell check doens't know what the hell you're talking about.
