Hi Guy's,

Wonder if you can help I have a corvette C5 z05 01 model and was wondering if anyone know who does tuning in the UK for these cars or anything. Having no luck at all trying to find a place that does. bangheadbanghead

Depends where you are in the UK and what you are after, but these guys will be able to help I'm sure.

Another place worth trying is modurstang.

They are by no means limited to Fords and work on all sorts of American (and European!) stuff...

Mike is a really nice guy too...

Thank you Guys I am Based in Milton Keynes and what im after is just general tuning im looking at getting some headers, exhaust system, intake etc. Then when i have the money maybe getting some trick flow heads and a performance camshaft. I just know that people say when you add all these bolt ons you can get CEL come on because of the O2 sensors and a re-tune can always unlock some decent BHP and make your car run better.

Monkfish is only down the road then if you are in MK.

Your car isn't a silver Z06 is it? I sometimes see one about, I'm only just down the road from MK myself.

You are indeed correct silver Z06 its my daily driver. I live around Leighton buzzard I just say Milton Keynes because that's a generic place most people know. Cool i will have to check Monkfish out then one weekend.

If it was me I would be asking the guys at the corvette club this question as corvettes have a soul and they need to be done by people who understand them
Otherwise you will only regret it

According to their website Monkfish ceased trading at the end of August.

Buddy of mine has a Le Mans Anniversary C5 ZO6. Fitted with a Procharger from new it amazes me how well (other than clutches perhaps) it handles the additional power - almost as though it was made for it - very impressive!

I have used http://www.tdi-plc.com/ for tuning my C6 Z06. They are very good at what they do.

Head on over to the HSV forum.
You should find that partnering up with Carl and Luis from Oz will give the best results.

Carl is based locally in Southampton and runs a Merc garage there.
Tuning is done on the dyno by Luis over wifi. Many 800bhp setups tuned etc.

Way better than any other UK tuner I know of. I know most..
