Got my tune from Phil and we loaded it up and right away I was impressed with how much better the car is. Phil knows what he is doing with the LS cars. My friend and I both are more than happy with the tune we have gotten for his vett and my camaro. Can not begin to tell you how pleased I am with his customer service. Great guy to deal with and awesome tuners. Thanks PhilePhile

What can i say Phil knows what he is doing with these Ls engines. Went in for a tune and let me tell you night and day of a difference car feels nd pulls harder. What i like about him is that he showing you everything your car is doing while tuning it so you learn in the process. He a friendly guy and will definitely recommend him .. Will be doing business with you again in the future Phil...

So long story short... Bought 2010 camaro ls3 year ago with cai header exhaust i guess a tuned because skip shift was eliminated and no engine light because of header. But after driving for couple months things just didnt seem right to me. I though that my previous trailblazer ss was faster. So after about hearing about phil on ths website. I contacted him and discussed what i was feeling and what i want to do. He explained that he could see and also mentioned a ported throttle body. So i made an appointment. When i arrived he was very nice. He said while we what why do we put tb on. As we took off he noticed mine was already ported and he showed it to me and did even try to sell me his. After he took for a ride to get feel for car then came back and loaded it up on the dyno. He did once pull and he notice that who ever tuned before messed up the knock sensor readings and made it run so rich it was blowing black smoke out the exhaust. It made 399 hp and 389 flbs torque. So he took my tune and compair to stock and it was running way to rich. So he started his magic. He spent the next couple of hour going back and fourth. Doing different rpm ranges. He started at lower rpms and got fuel trims to where he liked and went up the rpm range from there. Also got knock sensors working right again so now the engine is safer. He finally got 25 more hp out of it. It ran 420 hp and 406 flbs of torque. The he said lets go for a ride. At that point he was still in tuner mode. We did some wot 2500 rpm pulls on road. And at that time he notice it was alittle lean so we pulled over and he fixed right there and we did three more pull and it was good. Iam very happy it feels like a different car. Oh i forgot he also tuned out the decel pop out exhaust

. He did a great job i would recommend anybody to go see him. And ill even support him on my side windows. Thanks phil you did a great job even my wife noticed a differnece. It was a pleasure to meet you phil and maybe see you around at some shows. And sorry for father-in-law hes an old time racer and likes to talk.

Would also like to say thanks to joe the owner of powertech performance for i hospitiality and his tour of shop and some of the cars. It was nice to meet you also. And i will take car back when its time for more mods.

Im glad I was able to save your car.

Sorry guys, Im not saying who I think tuned the car before me.

Tampa Tuning · 09-16-2014, 09:38 PM

Well we saved another car that was tuned in the area. This is a beautiful 2013 Camaro hot wheels edition with an SLP 2300 package on it. The owner drove down from South Carolina and had it tuned. He was frustrated with the shop and the way the car's tranny tune performed. The shop down here told them they just "tuned" a 2014 SLP package Camaro and would put that tune in his car for $300 and tweak it some.

The owner hated how hard the car shifted and drove. When he got home, he ended up returning the calibration to the basic in tune hand held calibration that came with the kit.

The owner called me and said he was returning to Florida again and this time wanted Tampa Tuning to re-tune the car.

He and his wife love the way the car drives and shifts in the D or M mode now. The 70 RWHP gain was the kicker

You cant cut and paste other peoples calibrations and call it custom tuning.

Do you do LFXs?

Tampa Tuning · 10-13-2014, 03:46 PM

I can but I really don't because I have a pretty full plate keeping up with my V8 clients.
sorry,
Phil

Tampa Tuning · 10-19-2014, 12:06 PM

So after a little surgery for more power, this 2010 Camaro L99 to LS3 conversion was calibrated by Tampa Tuning. Last time Tampa Tuning calibrated this Camaro, He dyno'd 370 RWHP 380 RWTQ through his 6l80 with the bolt ons.

We added a nice little torquer cam, stall, and some ported heads to bring his Camaro to a nice 466 RWHP 424 RWTQ

Almost 100 RWHP and 45 RWTQ over the bolt ons dyno tune.
