+1 for AMP they have some of the fastest gen v cars hands down. If you want to drive or do remote, PatG does top notch work too out of Katy.

Motor Fast my question was answered, But I will say a few things alot of time guys can advertise that there game changers in this business, I have been around long enough with the motorcycle performance side of things, videos sale, and even if a shop has bad service, by time you find out the truth it's to late. I will take a serious performance guy word over any commercial or video. Take Bennessy for example ( I intended the misspelling on the B).

When you've been around watching movement of techs between shops and tuners coming and going and issues not resolved it starts to become very clear. Most of the good ones don't have time to publish quality videos on YouTube and they don't need to because they are slammed with work. Word of mouth and their customer videos are plenty.

Oh, I've wondered. I don't see many torque wrenches when things are going back together in certain videos. Someone just has the feel for what 40 lb-ft is... There's a reason I do my own work but I would also trust Katech. In the few videos they post I like what I see.

Sam Miller (AMP) has to be one of the best for sure and he's just off 161 south of 183. Big on FI cars but NA as well. Really surprised he's not big on this site.
Super nice to deal with and will keep it safe as well. I've used him for years and he's tuned like said above, literally thousands of LS's and LT's. His C7 PC has CR Racing PI I understand

OK commercial over lol.

Another vote for Sam over at AMP!

Based on a personal recommendation and what I read here, I visited Sam today with my stock 18 ZLE with a Roto-Fab in the trunk. He was able to get me in immediately. Base tune, I was at 548hp/498tq. After installing the intake and 6 more pulls on the dyno, I am at 567hp/568tq. Very happy and will go back after a full exhaust and flex fuel install sometime in Feb.

What’s up with the stock torque graph? Issue with sensor on dyno? He should of at least fixed it and got a accurate before tune pull. This one’s a mess

It had already made MAX torque. That establishes the base. Who gives a shit??? GREAT RESULTS!!!!

Well no actually not correct. It doesn’t look like it read correctly from the get-go which is why it’s completely flat before looking like an etch a sketch

I tried to get Sam from AMP to tune my car but he kinda just blew me off. Perhaps because the car was already worked on by another shop. My cars currently tuned by Matt, and I'm in Houston as well, but getting work from the fastest is an alluring idea.

^^^ this.

From the look of the graph, baseline torque was on its way to 540-545-ish with a proper reading, so your increase from the Roto-Fab is not as phenomenal as it looks, to say the least. 15-20 hp/tq at best, the same everyone else has gotten since 2017 or 2018
