Default ams or speed inc?

hey guys,

my bud's dad has an '87 Grand National that needs a custom tune and possibly more work done. he has been out of the game for about the last 10 years so he wants to take it somewhere reputable. which of these two shops would be a better pick? or if you have any other suggestions on shops let me know.

thanks

bryan

niiiiice, I love GNs.

umm..sorry don't know any shops around here but I'm sure someone specializes in GNs. Try the GN forums (turbobuick.com IIRC)

If you're around Schaumburg, have you tried Strictly Modified?

I'm friends with the guys over at Speed Inc. I knew them before they opened the shop so I don't consider myself biased. A couple of the guys came to my wedding to put it another way. They do good work but AMS is no slouch either. It might come down to location and business hours.

I'll ask Speed Inc. if they are up on 80's Buicks if you want me to. Just let me know.

I talked to Speed Inc. and sent you a PM with the details. They don't sponsor CL so I don't know how much I can post public. Anyway, have your people give Larry and call and go from there.

Good luck.

I just had my gs dynoed at AMS and the tuner Chris is top notch, you could also try sound performance Vince is their tuner . Both of these guys are pros at their game.

Gaugster, thank you for your help on this. He decided to go to AMS and is taking the car in tomorrow. Found out one of our buds from way back works there and is giving him a great deal.

That's cool. I am sure you buddy will be fine working with AMS. It's always best to go where you have at least some connections.
