hey guys i was wondering what shop you guys would recomend for a dyno tune. I only no of livernoise, and wheel to wheel around my area(warren). I have a 03 lightning.

 

There are a few:

Livernois is top notch.
Lidio at alternative is known throughout the country also.
Walsh at walsh performance specializes in modular engines and is a tuning wizard.
Paul at Pauls Hi Performance (Jackson) has been in about 100 magazines.

Come visit us at www.miloc.org (MIchigan Lightning Owners Club)

I was tuned by Pauls, then Sal at PSP,
Several members were tuned at Livernois
a few at Lidio's and a few at Walsh's.

They are all top notch guys who know lightnings inside out.
I thought W2W specialized in Chevy's.

 

actually Lidio is the owner of alternative auto. in mt. clemens

 

yes thats true w2w does specialize in chevys, but i was there about 2 weeks ago getting a 2002 ramair trans am tuned, and there tuner told me they got the software in to start tuning fords. actually they had a fake lightning there getting some work done while i was there, but since there just starting to do fords i would be hesitant to go there.

 

what color? Orange?

 

hit us up on the miloc message board. W2W just got the Sniper tuning software. if you serious about getting dynotuned and wanting to use the new Sniper stuff Patrick is coming up to tune my truck on the 22nd and he's looking for a few others to help pay for the trip up. we might be doing this at W2W.

 

I agree with Rob. Excellent opportunity to have Patrick Tune it.
Top Notch!

 

hey thanks for the invite. ive created a user name and pass word, got a response confirming it, but after 2 days i still cant log in to it. bye the way i am serious about getting a tune a.s.a.p, but im not familiar with sniper, can you clue me in. thanks

i'll get in touch with chuck about your log-in issue, he has to verify it to work. we get so many false randomly generated usernames that yours might have slip through.

 

Patrick previously worked for another tuner company then branched off and started his own. I'm pretty sure he literally wrote the software code.

 

I e-mailed the admin fer ya.

Rich

 

there a few shops around me (flint) that do dyno tuning

hardcore performance.
A&A machine shop

 

I'm not knocking hardcore, but it took 4 guys to figure out how to hook my truck up to a dyno and get a/f readings.

They said they could do it w/o a/f... until I told them I could care less about the numbers, I need a/f for tuning purposes. I was NOT impressed.

 

To tell ya the truth, I unless you want every last drop of power tuned out of it, just a get a tune from Sal and then have it checked on the dyno. I could not be more happy. I have 4 tunes from Sal and only 1 has a bug (a tweak i wanted him to make none the less) and I am driving on that tune right now.

But if you have to have the dyno tune, I have aother to add to the list. Ram Racing in Sarinac. I go there for my dynos. Rich is a heck of a guy. The first time I went there he just got his dyno in. he could not get a tach reading. After 5 hours we gave up. He got the stuff he needed and asked me to come back. I was there 4 more hours and still only paid for my original 1hr block of time. He has never done me or my buddies wrong. Down side, he could get pricey on a tune.
