looking for hp tuner in GTA area
 
Title says it all, looking for an experienced tuner to tune my ss/tc.
From searching on this site, it seems that ssKev/OntarioKev is the way to go.
Does anyone have his contact info or know if hes still available?


my only alternative right now is a place called brtuning in AJAX but I don't know how much experience they have with LNF's.

What is the rough estimate for horsepower?
I have charge pipes, k&n sri, zzp catless downpipe (not yet installed) and then the HP tune.


Thanks

I am in need of a retune from Kevin myself. A few other members have said they would be interested too. I have been wanting to get a list of people ready to tune with Kevin going so we can all go on a single day and make good use of his time. I guess it's time I put this list together

iammancini 07-21-2016 09:03 PM

is he still available to do the tunes?

Dutchman 07-21-2016 09:06 PM

I posted up on a few cobalt facebook pages asking for people interested to contact me, I sent Kevin an email tonight asking about his availability for tuning in August. That will give you time to finish up and mods you need to do. I need to clean my k&n, change my plugs, install my mounts on my car and an oil change
SSKev tuned me a few years ago, I have zzp catted down pipe, charge pipes, muffler delete, intercooler and the k&n intake I asked for a conservative tune around 22psi and I got 312HP/345TQ and I have put on about 50K with this tune, it's driven daily usually all summer. I would recommend you put some new plugs in too if you haven't already this year.

iammancini 07-21-2016 09:08 PM

what plugs are recommended? im available to tune whenever, just need a about a day to get downpipe installed. let me know if you hear back from him. Any idea what the rate for a tune is?

Dutchman 07-21-2016 09:20 PM

Most people will say to stay with the stock AC Delo and gap to .32 I have NGK Iridium plugs gapped to that. I'll let you know more when I hear back from Kevin. I also sent you a private msg about pricing

iammancini 07-26-2016 08:30 PM

any updates???

Nick07Ss 07-26-2016 11:35 PM

I may also be interested

Dutchman 07-29-2016 07:00 AM

I haven't heard back from Kevin yet, I'll send another email today

iammancini 07-29-2016 08:14 AM

Is there any other reputable tuners if sskev doesn't reply?

Dutchman 07-29-2016 11:35 PM

I don't have anyone I know of first hand, there is a shop in Milton that tunes but I don't know if they have worked on any lnf cars. I have faith that SSKev will come thru for us. It's a long weekend I may not get an answer until early next week

sLAsh 07-30-2016 11:41 PM

Count me in. I don't drive the cobalt anymore but I have a Solstice gxp that I want keV to tune . When I talked to him earlier this summer he said Sundays were the best day for him because it was the easiest day to get the dyno.

Dutchman 07-31-2016 07:52 AM

Cool, I sent you a pm last for your car's details. I guess Kevin wants to know what he's getting into

iammancini 07-31-2016 10:16 AM

I replied, but if it didn't work, 2008 ss/tc
k&n intake, turbo xs charge pipes with bov, zzp catless dp (yet to be installed) and maybe 3 bar map sensors (seems like these are needed).

I got your info, the message was for Slash

I don't know that the 3 bar sensors are required, probably more accurate with higher boost pressures but the stock ones should do fine.

sLAsh 08-01-2016 11:44 AM

2007 Solstice gxp
The only thing that would matter for the tune is a solo high flow cat and solo Mach cat back. May get charge pipes in the future but that are currently oos.

iammancini 08-02-2016 05:58 PM

any update? Is ssKev good to go?

Dutchman 08-03-2016 10:55 PM

I sent him all of our car info, he asked if we were ready to go, I said yes, ....... Just waiting to hear back from him meow
There are 4 of us to be tuned, 3 Cobalts and 1 Solstice should make for a fun day at the dyno

iammancini 08-04-2016 08:30 AM

That is good news, so to make this a little more official, can we pick a date, time and location?
I need to get my downpipe installed, but want to wait until we are close to the tune date so my car doesn't run like poop. I also want to decide whether or not I should buy the Map Sensors (anyone know where to get these for a good price?). So:


Location:_____________
Date:________________
Time:________________
Cost: (I assume you can just PM us with the information rather than post on the message boards)


Any other info we should know:________________________________________

Dutchman 08-04-2016 09:00 AM

Location: Neetronics, on Speers RD in Oakville
Date: Aug 21/16
Time.... thats a good question
Cost: .... a question for Kevin

So gents, Kevin has asked me to ask you to email him and confirm your car details, the date, time and ect
Slash already has Kevin's contact info but I will send you both a PM with Kevin's contact info today

Dutchman 08-04-2016 09:08 AM

PM has been sent to both of you with Kevin's email :)

sLAsh 08-05-2016 11:01 PM

Kev has my info. Ready to go other than wanting to put in a new set of plugs. Only 40000km on the car but not sure if they are the originals or not so I picked up a new set

iammancini 08-08-2016 10:22 AM

I believe these are stock plugs???

sLAsh 08-08-2016 10:09 PM

I see date and location but what is the time?

Dutchman 08-11-2016 07:48 PM

I'm not sure on times yet, I'm sure Kevin will let me know soon. Just happy we have 4 people coming out for tuning:)
