ISO PERFORMANCE SHOP RECS **MUST BE SKILLED IN V6 LLT FI PLATFORM** - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

BatmaroBeauty · 06-10-2021, 04:59 PM

So the shop that’s been installing my Overkill Supercharger Kit Stage 3 on my 2010 A6 LLT for the past 17 months (yes—that number is not a typo—you read seventeen correctly) just called me today and said that they are struggling to stay afloat and don’t want to continue stringing me along since they don’t have techs anymore.

I am desperately in search of QUALITY AND RELIABLE performance shops that are familiar, skilled, and knowledgeable with an LLT FI platform to see this build to completion. These engines are complex little devils and a different beast than the 6.2L LS3 or LT1 altogether, which is why I’m turning to you guys for any and all recommendations.

I live in NYC but I’m absolutely open minded to traveling ANYWHERE that can save me. I’m even trying to contact Will to see if he has availability in his schedule so I can transport it to his shop in Canada. I didn’t come this far just to have an oversized and costly paperweight…

Thanks in advance!

Give these guys a call and see if they'd help you out.

They helped me finish a Paxton Blower build on my v6 Monte Carlo and they didn't specialize in that car at all.

yeah, I asked about a Tune and dyno on my 2010 Camaro V6.
First it was Yes but 800 dollars, but then when I said it had Headers on it they said they would not touch it, Something about the Bosch ECM

Appreciate it and I’ll check it out.. anyone specifically at that shop who worked on your car?

But as spyderbuddy stated below, the 2010 V6 LLT combined with Bosch ECU is a menace. There’s a few builds on here that end up swapping to LFX ECU or straight up trading in their LLT Camaro for an LFX and swapping aftermarket parts over because of the headache it causes. I’m definitely going to need a shop/tuner that’s well versed with these systems.

I worked with the owner Dale on it. He even worked with me and ZZP to get some parts overnighted that we needed while he had it.

I'm not 100% sure if he did the work, but he's the person I spoke with.

If it helps, there is a shop called Jannetty Racing in Waterbury, CT. Only a 2 hour drive from NYC. Their instagram is jannettyracing and they do polls on their sometimes. Also they respond extremely quick to their emails so I would check them out. They work on mostly V8s but I've asked and they've said they could do my V6 many times. I just can't find anyone with FI that is in stock haha. Good luck

BatmaroBeauty · 06-28-2021, 02:20 PM

Thank you ChibiBlackSheep and Duda for your recs! I was about to pick-up my car from the original shop that has been doing all the engine upgrades and to my pleasant surprise they said they would continue working to finish it instead which was a relief for me

so I no longer require searching for another shop, for now..

I would like to keep this thread growing though for everyone to continue making recommendations for performance shops around the country, since it doesn't seem like I'm alone in struggling to find a shop willing to work on the LLT platform.

Continue to submit the names and location info below for places you've use for others who may need to know!

gutterball · 06-28-2021, 08:42 PM

Jannety's is a great shop, they did my supercharger/ But I have the LFX engine, I don't think they'll work on the llt engine,because of the Bousch cpu, Boush don't let out their tuning codes

Elite Engineering · 06-29-2021, 04:58 PM

There is only one, and they have done hundreds of every type of FI for the LLT, LFX, and LGX. DM for info or email us direct at: Tech@EliteEngineeringUSA.com

BatmaroBeauty · 03-11-2022, 07:31 PM

I scoured various FI build threads for shops that contributed to building/tuning other successful applications. Reviving this thread to update you all with a list of the shops that I reached out to for help with my issues but they were either never interested/bothered to respond or declined V6 engine work. Will from Overkill Motorsports in Canada who was remote tuning my build has completely stopped responding to messages since his father passed away in September 2021. EFX Tuning in NJ who did all performance mods/installations on my build has also permanently closed during that time. Currently, I have no support to assist me in resolving the fueling/tuning issues still being faced.

The following shops didn’t answer my email inquiry at all:
• RK Tuning, NJ (Rob)
• BCS Auto, AZ (Justin)
• MS Tuning, TX (Matt@FSP)

The following shops refused accepting this work:
• Tune Time Performance, NJ (Joe)

The only two shops so far that have entertained the idea of providing their advice or guidance further in this matter are Trifecta Performance, WA and Tracy Lewis Performance, FL. I have been in communication with both Vince and Tracy trying to make arrangements to ship the car to one of their facilities later this year so it can be worked on.

My advice to anyone who owns a 10-11 V6 LLT platform that is considering going FI……… DON’T DO IT! It’s certainly not worth all the headaches that come with it or the lack of aftermarket parts, engine support, and tuning available. Still open to any shop suggestions located anywhere in the US that would be willing to accept the job of completing this build.

Nmbr1gmfan · 03-16-2022, 07:43 AM

I thought Tracy Lewis built some of these forced induction V6 cars in the past? I figured this would be right up his alley.

gtstorey · 03-16-2022, 08:13 AM

Have you dug through the appropriate HP Tuners forum for your car? You may find the expert on there that might be willing to help. I have the LNF ecotec in my kit car and it's another oddball that very few shops tune. I was able to learn enough on the forum to work on the tune myself and one of the more knowledgeable people on there was willing to give a phone number to discuss with him. I would think there would be more support for the V6 Camaro so someone on there might be able to point you to a tuner.
