Default is elite motorsports a good place to tune at?

ok so i live in canada, and i want to get my car tuned, but theres nothing around here really. elite is about 7 hours to drive to. anyone have experience there? can they tune NA setups as well?

There are a ton of shops around here. LSE performance, RS motors (I believe Shane works there now), Consumate tuning (Jordan).

Are there any that you can recommend for tuning an all motor setup? It's a pretty extensive setup, has a 1" deckplate, 13.5:1 cr, .5mm o/s valves etc.

well basically what im looking for is anything close to Winnipeg, Canada so that it wont expletive the tune up when i come back. were too far behind in the scene here and my motor wont make the power i want with what we have available for tuning.


edit : btw we are less than an hr drive from the US border of north dakota.

I wouldn't recommend going to elite. I would contact Jordan at consumate tuning. Great tuner, knows his stuff. Shane now works at DB performance in Rogers, MN. http://www.dbperformance.biz/

The website of the Elite Motorsports you listed *was* located in Montclair, California. You must be thinking of a different elite.

dg? as far as i know they only do machine work/build motors. They dont tune anything. I would look into Ron at RS motors, Jon at Fullblown, Shane DB performance

hahah actually i couldnt find the right timing belt!! it sat like that forever.

i tried every belt i could find from napa and none fit. what i had to do was switch out the gsr water pump (22T) for an LS (19T) and then i got a belt that was previously too short, and it ended up working!!!
