Finally got my car out this weekend, had to wait until I finished my garage floor.

If anyone is interested, Stuart gets a great crowd with lots of nice cars to look at. Just a 1/2 hour west of Des Moines right on I-80.

Did you get this figured out? I have been talking to Karl's about tuning mind but have heard some negative things like this before makes me pause...

rberns · 04-07-2015, 08:55 PM

No. After 3 attempts of tuning the vehicle and still not happy I have moved on from them. I am currently having Rhino79 with GPI tune it.

What all do you have done; headers, intake, etc? If you are just having them tune it to boost performance you most likely will not have any problems. I truly believe that Karl's can tune bolt-on cars and boosted cars without any issues. They will get you the most power while generally keeping everything "safe". When it comes to cammed cars, I think they need a lot of work.

I would go to WS6 store in Des Moines. Heard a lot of great things from them with all LS applications: Bolt On, Boost, Cam. I have not heard many good things about Karl's Tuning....plus WS6 store is great to work with.

Advanced Automotive in Evansdale just got done with my Nephews G8 GXP with LS3 He had a Cam Upgrade and is running Headers. The car is putting out crazy power now. Can't hurt to give them a call.

There are days I am glad that all I need to tune my Camaro is a timing light and a regular screwdriver.
