Re: Utah.. no one really??
I went in to Premier today to talk about tuning. I was sort of annoyed. Brock was not available. I tried talking to the guy up front, but I might as well been talking to wall. Cost is $550 for a dyno tune. They use HP Tuners. I asked what they "tune" or whatever. The response. "Everything". Really?! Everything?! I mean, at least say something intelligent to me. I asked them how many other W bodies they had done. Another kid had come up front. He said that they had done one GTP. Said it was near stock and they got it to around 275WHP. I honestly think that they know what they are doing, but not sure I'm going to pay $550 for tune for a company that has done 1 W-body and responds with "everything". I'll still decide what I'm going to do, but will not likely go there. If I have trouble tuning, I'll probably pay for a canned tune to modify.
Cliff, if you know Brock personally I'd love to go back over there another time where I can talk a little more. I think you are back here in UT shortly.
Re: Utah.. no one really??
i talked to brock when i had the first gen 5 rebuilt but im sure we can go over there no issues and chat with them
Re: Utah.. no one really??
Yeah you want to make sure you talk to brock or heath when you go in, they are both really good and i wouldn't worry about taking my car into them at all. wonder how many customers they have lost to the "everything" answer from the guy behind the desk lol
Re: Utah.. no one really??
Yeah and in the end i will tune my own car also, just saying that both brock and heath have done alot of tuning to alot of different vehicles and i would trust them if you decide to pay them to do it. but personally for $550 i will street tune it myself.
Re: Utah.. no one really??
275whp on a near stock car? Yea he was blowing smoke. I know brock. Great guy. 550 is a fair price for a dyno tune...not sure why everyone thinks dyno tuning should be 100 bucks.....
Re: Utah.. no one really??
Not sure who thinks it should be $100. $550 may be a fair price if you know what you are doing. They didn't say anything to indicate that they did. Like the fact that they have a dyno machine at all is proof that they do know what they are doing?! Responses about tuning a car to levels that are just not realistic-strike 1. Statements like "everything" without any follow up or anything else-strike 2. Even if you do tune "everything", maybe say something about V/E or shift tables or timing or ANYTHING really. I suppose the other factor here is that they just didn't want my business so they were blowing me off. I guess they just think that their business speaks for itself and I should want to kiss the ground while I'm there. I may go back one more time with Cliff when he's back.
Re: Utah.. no one really??
Considering they have tuned 90 percent of the fastest cars in utah.....they have a pretty impecible record. The fact they have only tuned a few wbodys means jack, as its a dying platform and in no way popular in this state

When do you guys do your meets and where do you meet at
Re: Utah.. no one really??
Well I got my turbo set up in. All you guys should go find Facebook group UTR: Utah racing. There are a bunch of grand Prix and regals and stuff on there locally. Cliff and I are on there. Seems like they get together often too.
Re: Utah.. no one really??
I was just on utr today. Never knew there were so many w-body guys around. We need to do a meet. Maybe i need to recruit you all to help me finish up my build. Lol

Re: Utah.. no one really??
So what is the name and location of this place that does tuning? I found Premier in West Jordan but I found another place last year but I can remember where it was. It was on a side street and they tune mosty LS motors. I was refered to them by someone I met at RMR. I think they were located in Sandy or somewhere arround there.
