Why not Rick @ Synergy......Rick tuned my C5 Z06 never had any problems in 5 years of ownership and won several AutoX championships in that car. Rick has put in his time and paid his dues....his old shop used to be by my house....many days driving home from work I would see Rick driving around perfecting the Dyno tune on a real world test on public streets. When I finish my LS3 build Rick will be the tuner I use.

Matt at GP Tuning knows his stuff.
He tuned a buddies 800rwhp zr1 and it drives good!

Plan on spending $400-500 on a tune.

That's why I run the Holley HP. No more tuners or retune costs when changing parts.

mainly cause he's a arrogant grump.

but I still recommend him if the client is close.

TPS? Be my guest.....did you know Mike Mack used to be in the computer surplus business? Mike made his money selling Silicon Valley junk and then one day decided he'd be a Motorsports mougul.....starting with the Mustang crowd......Rick may not have the best personal skills but, his long term commitment to the tuning of LS motors makes him Nor Cals best tuner......Mike? Last time I observed the " tuning skill set " was at his old shop in Campbell, after 15 minutes I had seen enough. Covering the rent money @ Borellis site wouldn't be something I would take on.....it lead to the demise of The Speed Merchant....a Silicon Valley institution didn't last much over a year at that joint....be my guest to spend your $$$ where you want to, mine are usually earned with a little bleeding on my part.....I take those bloody notes to the guy who I think has bleed equally in the quest to be a LS tuning expert....what's a guy like me know?

For what it's worth, Mike is no longer associated with Borelli. And yeah, he's a crook.

do a google search for Mark Roman LS tune in Sacramento. I heard good things about him and there are a few guys that recommend him on LS1 tech.

So much drama in the NBC...

Guess I take it for granted that I live in an area flooded with LS-based shops.
