Who should I have tune my ZL1 ????

I have plenty of experience with getting my GT500's tuned, but I'm not sure who to go to for my ZL1. With both of my GT500's, I had Jon Lund of Lund Racing do all of my tuning. He is the world's best GT500 tuner...period. So now I need to find the world's best ZL1 tuner. I need super fast throttle response and LOTS of power. Can you guys give me some recommendations?

Also, I'm used to using the SCT X3 programmer with my GT500's, but I'm not sure what the best programmer is for the ZL1. Please let me know what you guys think. I appreciate the input.

If you are familiar with that tuner..SCT X3,, use Ted From Jannetty. He is good, and he has a ZL1 and some experience tuning them.

hear are some to talk to.

1. JRE
2. KDI
3. ADM
4. livernoise
5. hennessey
6. lingenfelter
7. torq
8. redline

all of these guys have 700whp+ cars on this board in threads

Saying tuner XYZ is the best is like saying ford is better than chevy or vice versa. there is more than one good tuner on the planet.

We have great shops all over Houston but if you really want the best for your ZL1 and some place reasonably close. Give Andy at ADM a call up in Lewisville TX. One of our club members Mr.Dew just came back from having his done and all I can say is WoW. The work done there is second to none.

This is where my car will go..

That is correct, your self would be the best tuner if you could do it. But they all say the one that tuned their car is the best.

I would be glad to go over a build with you.

We have many forum and non forum member owned
Zl-1 and have met all their expectations from simple
Intake upgrades and tuning to our full blown
Engine packages.

You might ask Mindz or try posting your question in the California section.
