Looking at tuning options

scottjen26 · 05-07-2009, 11:29 AM

Planning on selling my motorcycle soon (don't really ride anymore since I got the vette) and would like to finally get my car tuned. I have a 2004 Automatic Coupe, stock. Would love to pick up a little horsepower, and maybe more importantly smooth out the shift points, minimize the delay that happens when punching it, improve gas mileage, etc. - all the things I've read about tunes people have gotten from Chuck Cow and other local tuners.

Don't want to spend a ton of money on extras to go along with the tune, especially the way everything is right now. But I would love to finally get this done, especially if I make a little money off my bike. Can people (including tuners on this forum) give me some recommendations? Especially people who have had it done on a similar car and what their experiences have been? I would be willing for sure to spend the 300 - 400 to do a normal tune, may even consider spending a little more on something else (different thermostat, cold air intake, etc.) if it would be worth the extra cash. Doing more expensive mods at this point is probably not going to happen, especially since I may upgrade in a few years. Also, any events coming up where there would be specials on this sort of thing?

I live in Jacksonville, would love to do something locally (I've heard of one company here I think) or willing to drive to Orlando or Tampa for the day.

Thanks!
Scott

Hi Scott. We could defiantly help you out with what you are looking for. We have have tuned many stock and intake, cat-back only Corvettes with owners looking for the same thing your after. A full tune , engine and transmission, for your corvette would be $300. We are located in Orange Park on us-17 about 7 miles south of 295 and Wells road. I'd love to have to come by sometime and take a look at our shop and talk about what we could do for you.
