Looking for tuner in Upstate NY

[laughlintr]

I live in Watkins Glen NY 14891, I am not sure but I don’t think my car runs as it should. I was hoping to find an experienced tuner/mechanic I would be willing to drive to Rochester, Syracuse or Buffalo even. I have had my car since July 07 and it’s very dependable and runs pretty good it maybe fine but I would like an experienced person to look it over, my local dealers don’t seem to have clue and it’s under warranty until December this year. It’s a 05 stage 1.

Mods and work I have done

1)K&N Typhoon
2)Stage 1 springs
3)Hurst short shifter
4)Prothane motor mounts inserts
5)Catch Can
6)Champion plugs and Napa wires (gapped @ 36)
7)Miles when I bought it 11,500 now 25,500 or so
I built a boost leak tester and found my hot side pipe was leaking very badly tighted and zip tied all vacuum lines. I have done the spring mod with mixed results seems to pull better through 3rd but no where near the spike I was expecting pulls to maybe 14 to redline in 4th and 5th .

Mods on the car when I bought it

1)Stage 1 PCM

Thanks

Tom

There is nothing to tune on your car right now.

On a side note. I fell in watkins glenn once when I was a kid trying to catch minnows...

Thanks for the reply, I don't know guess I have nothing to compare my car with in the area. I wouldn’t mind someone driving it that owns an SRT-4 just to see if they think it’s right or close or if I could find a Dyno service in my region.

We have the IRL-Camp race the weekend of the 4th at Watkins Glen International should be a pretty good field with both clubs merged.

You are kind of out in BFE. You are doing the right thing with the boost leaks and things. Have you checked out the mid atlantic section of the forum? Maybe there is someone on there from the NY area that could point you in the right direction.

Mid-Atlantic Area - SRT Forums - SRT4, SRT6, SRT8, SRT10 & Dodge Forum
