Thanks, I will be calling him. However according to his website, it looks like he specializes in Vortec superchargers...

He is one of the better tuners of the modular world. He should be able to set you straight.

All of the tuning companies listed will give you excellent service. I'd suggest calling and talking to them.

I wouldn't let Livernois change my oil or rotate my tires. I've heard waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to many horror stories about blown up engines on the dyno at Livernois.

Talk to Lidio or Paul. I know guys who have had work done by both of them and they have nothing but good things to say about both of them and thier tuning.

Well i had dan tune my car and from everything i seen here as far as hp# I think they did a pretty good job at it! It made more than most and with 3lb less boost..........Changed the pully to a 4.38. and it was well over 400 at the wheels,98 degree day.79% humidity. and the a/f was flat lined at 11.3 all the way to redline..............

I'm not saying they blow up EVERY engine that they try to tune, I just wouldn't give them a chance to blow mine up. I know a guy who just had his done there and so far so good.


I live in Shelby Township, so obviously it's closer for me to go to Alternative than anywhere else. And Lidio is well know for doing a really good tune safely without putting your engine in the unsafe zone. However, if I wasn't going to go to Alternative, I'd definately use Pauls as my 2nd choice.

I'd definately go see Paul since he's closest to you.

Thanks, I've already sent Paul an e-mail. I really enjoy forums where you get good honest information.

XLeatherNeck,

I would appreciate a PM after you get done talking to Pauls. No sense in making 2 calls for the same thing. His website isnt up to snuff in the 2005 model. His shop is like 12 minutes from my house. First impressions are lasting ones and I went in there with my diesel pickup and wasnt really impressed with the way I was treated. I would probably be willing to try him again. Have heard he is expensive. Defnitely would like to know what you find out. Thanks
