    They done my WH Caprice. I can't complain but on the same note i have no baseline to compare my results with.

    End of the day the car runs well & the job seems fairly good.

    Thanks for the replies

    Unfortunately APS won't touch it because they didn't do the engine work

    I've heard some real good things about LSX Garage

    I'm thinking of taking my car to APS ( are they any good? ) but have had the engine built elsewhere.

    Is this a policy they have with tuning engines built by someone else?

    other workshops may have locked the ecu which makes it hard for others to tune up unless you have the unlock code

    I got a quote from them to build my motor & when I was there the guy was saying they won't put a car on there dyno if they
    didn't build it
    It was a few months ago & they might have changed their mind now


    What are ppl's thoughts on Springy Motors ??

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.

    Springy motors tuned my XR6T when i had it, Daniel worked at HPF and tuned the first 9sec XR6T, also he is the tuner for his uncle's drag car, Cortina that has been around a while called Satisfaction. His uncle is well known dragracer Joe Pirotta. If you decide to go there you should be very happy.
