Looking for a dyno tuner in CA
- Thread starter Venom_GT
- Start date
Greg at RET in Downey or Steve at Powertrain in Huntington Beach. 2 very good choices.... Greg does full service and instalation, Steve is Tuning only...
AED or RET and f the rest ! lol I personally only let shaun touch my car, and i have two buddies who went with ret and love that place. both are great clean shops that pay attention to detail and do great work and have matching , great customer service. your in so cal so go RET and dont look back!
but fyi shaun@AED is doing some of the best tunin on the 5.0's right now(imo) so id really look into his mail tunes. they are on the money and he always will datalog and correct anything that arises and to make sure your a happy customer. , he has great helpfull customer service. see his many threads here and on many other sites.

he is flying out in November to GTR- Rancho Cucamonga and get your car tuned....
REALLY WOULD NOT GO TO RET!!! BAD WORK he doesnt even tune his own cars lol
:??:
this is the 1st time i'm hearing something bad from RET :shrug:
really please share your experience with us.... Iam hoping for ret to tune my car on e85.....
He should share, really stupid making a post like that without posting any story to it.
Every shop has a bad story, its how they handle it that makes me decide if I come back to them.
I have dealt with power train and RET and both are great guys. Greg is more to himself and doesn't really explain what he is doing, steve can talk for hours.
Bad thing with steve if something goes wrong he doesnt work on cars greg does, Steve does small things but nothing big last time I went to him.
IMO visit both guys talk to both and see which one you like more before you spend any money.
I would recommend myself for tuning it but I have no experience on the 2011+ cars besides my truck, Until I hit up a new class I wont be tuning any customers coyotes, I just have experience/training on the 96-2010 stuff.
Greg at RET has tuned several of my friends cars for the past 8 years, They all say great things about Greg.
Don't post a reply like this about RET without explanation!:nonono:
would not go to ret either..have a customers car that was bought from ca that ret did the tuning and intallation on and all i can say it wow. i have seen some butcherd cars before but for a shop install horrible. not to mention tuning a cobra with the intercooler pump relay out, and 2 vaccum leaks.
I have had 3 exsperiances with RET all were very good. Not sure where the negative post are coming from maybe ther just having a bad day. Let me know how the Paxton install goes. Im looking to do a Paxton install on my GF's 13 CS/GT vert and RET was my first choice.
Not having a bad day just shitty work. Have a nice day
explain further what was installed then butchered? How do you know the intercooler pump wasn't working during the tune? It shows up at your shop in St. Louis 1000's of miles away with this issue and 2 vaccuum leaks and SO this shop sucks now?
Don't know that many tuners that can squeeze 700 out of a 2.3 Whipple like Greg did YEARS ago..
Ok like i stated and you failed to read in the video of them dynoing the car the intercooler pump relay was out. If the relays out unless its jumpered it will not run.99% of the intercooler coolant plumbing had no hose clamps. They used zip ties for hose clamps. The bottom of the intake tube after the mass air for meter was cracked in several spots all the way thru. Which is a vaccum leak. The intercooler coolant lines had rtv smeared on them to seal them. Also the tubes that go thru to the intercooler that have o rings on them they put rtv on the o rings so when i got the intercooling pump and hoses fixed and working the rtv on the orings or the intercooler was leaking and started filling the lower intake withre coolant. So all that had to come apart. This was also a gt/cobra swap the car has scotch locks which may be the alarm but who knows. The powersteering resevor bolts are stripped out and so on. Just saying based off the car thats in my garage that they suposeably built i would not go there. Dont matter how far away i am
