Derek at DDTECH is hands down one of the best tuners I’ve worked with. I had other tuners try to dial in my twin turbo Corvette Z06 and fail, but Derek figured it out and got the car running right.
What really stood out was how fast he worked. I would send him logs and feedback, and he would have revisions back to me within minutes. The man literally works like he’s available 24/7, and honestly, you won’t be able to keep up with him.
My car is far from a simple setup, but Derek knew exactly what he was looking at and made the process smooth. He didn’t just tune the boosted areas and call it done. He cleaned up all the cruising and drivability issues too, the stuff other wannabe tuners try to tell you is “normal” on a modified car. It’s not normal. It just takes someone who actually knows what they’re doing.
The car drives better, cruises smoother, pulls hard, and feels way more dialed in now. Dude is a tuning genius.
If you have a boosted or heavily modified car, I highly recommend Derek and DDTECH. He’s the real deal.

I’ve always had a great experience with DDTech tuning. He tuned both of my cars and the entire process always went smoothly from start to finish.
He is knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to make sure everything was dialed in correctly. Communication was excellent throughout the process, and he answered all of my questions clearly.
I'm very happy with the results and would highly recommend DDTech to anyone looking for a quality tune. Thanks again for the excellent service!

Derek was very impressive in tuning my truck. Put new cam, springs, lifters, & pushrods in my 4.8L and drove it straight to Derek the next day. It ran horrible. When he got done with it, it was crazy how good it ran. He goes on multiple test drives with you and makes sure everything is operating like it should. It might have took 45 minutes. He is very good at what he does and knows his stuff.

10/10 Support and tuning. Derek has tuned my G8 with two different turbo kits and it is nothing short of perfect. Great blend of performance and driveability. You can tell he really cares about his customers with the quick turn around, great pricing, and quality tunes. Will not be using anyone else on any vehicle I own.

Absolute pleasure working with Derek Dunbar. He guided me through every step of tuning my engine, provided detailed instructions, and was always available to answer questions along the way.
I was initially concerned about tuning the engine remotely, but Derek completely exceeded my expectations. His communication, knowledge, and responsiveness made the entire process smooth and straightforward.
Outstanding service from start to finish. I would not hesitate to work with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for tuning support.

Derek did a phenomenal job remote tuning my 2015 suburban after DOD delete and cam swap. Great communication and fast response times to logs and revisions (even when on vacation). Trucks running and shifting great. Thanks again Sir, looking forward to the next project.

I can’t say enough good things about the street tuning work that was done on my car. From the moment the tuning was completed, the difference was obvious. The throttle response became much sharper, the power delivery felt smoother, and the car pulled harder throughout the RPM range. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands performance tuning and knows how to make a car run its best, I highly recommend them. The results exceeded my expectations, and I couldn’t be happier with how the car performs now.

Can’t express enough how pleased I am with the remote tuning DDTech did for me. Had a lot of hurdles on my project C10 fully built gen V swap(not tune related) which required pausing the tuning for an extended amount of time. Derek had no problem picking up right where he left off whenever that email hit his inbox. Truck drives amazingly well and sounds great. 100% recommend anyone that is needing a tune to head his way. I’ll be back shortly for my daily driver.

DD Tech is the way to go. I am on my 3rd remote tune and nothing but a positive experience. Two tunes with my 05 CTSV and now with my 2009. All it takes is a quick search and to look on Facebook to know Derek is the real deal. Especially in the V world. The tuning process is very user friendly and he makes sure your good to go. I was brand new to HP Tuners and he helped me get very familiar. I advocate for anyone to get a remote tune. Your getting tuned for real driving conditions and your top end. Your becoming familiar with the very software thats running your car and your a quick email away to get a retune or assistance. No dyno needed. The best of both worlds. He makes himself available and gives you straight no bs feedback. Get your car mechanically sound and talk to the pro. Thanks!

Starting working with Derek about a week or two ago and it’s been nothing but exceptional service. He’s very quick with responses and will recommend different things to try to make your car even better. I’m fairly new to the platform but he was able to get the car dialed without issue and within reasonable time. Hopefully a dyno session soon to further feel in🤞🏼

One of the BEST in the world of tuning cars. Been using Derek for almost five years and he has never fallen short or let me down I think he is the bar in which everyone else measures theirselves with. He is a constant professional with the patience to compliment. Great experience.

By far the most knowledgeable and professional remote tuning experience I have had. Derek Dunbar and team provided an extremely quick turn around to address all of my concerns and exceed my expectations for the vehicle on a stock PCM.

Always seen great reviews and feedback for Derek at DDTECH and knew that’s who I wanted to have as my tuner for my mild 07 Escalade build. Hit him up to ask some questions before I knew which route I wanted to go with it and he helped me pick a cam and got me setup with Tyler at Mont Motorsports to get all the parts I needed. Once I finally got everything installed he was super helpful at helping me setup HPtuners, get the logs and uploading the files to the truck as I never used hptuners before. Derek always had super fast responses and answered all my dumb questions quickly and professionally. Super happy with the outcome with this build and the tunes he provided. Highly recommend him to anyone needing tuning done! Will stick with him on this and all my future projects!

You won’t go wrong with Derek. He knows what he’s doing and you won’t find someone better to deal with. He did a great job on mine, and I heard back from him almost immediately. He will make sure that you’re happy with your tune before he is done.

Been dealing with Derek since leaving my last tuner with previous tuning issues and I have nothing but a great experience, response times are perfect, communication is perfect and of course working the magic behind the keyboard is spot on. Very happy with switching over no complaints or regrets at all

Derek is the man. He has been tuning my V2 for... 3 years now I think. When I first contacted him, dude was literally getting married the next day, still sent me a base map, and was tuning the car on his honeymoon as well. He answers fast, provides great help, and the tunes are phenomenal. Just finished up my 3rd tune with him after throwing a cam in the car and he turned it into an absolute monster!! If anyone I know has anything LS based, and are looking for a tune, I'm sending them to Derek cause I know he will take care of them 100%

Derek Has done an awesome job in turning my ZL1. My buddy used him for his c7 and did amazing job to his car and highly recommended me to use him too. Whenever you need something or need to make any changes, Derek gets right on what you need and is there with just a text or a phone call away. It is hard to find someone good and doesn’t bs around. Will be using him for all my tuning needs. So if you are looking for a great tuner don’t hesitate give Derek a call you will not be disappointed.

I have owned a lot of cars in my life but Derek the owner has proven to me that American muscle still exists! I had him tune my c7 vette and recommend my friend in his zl1 to get tuned by him. Derek doesn’t disappoint when it comes to guiding me the way on how to use hp tuners. Very smooth process. Any issues I had he was one phone call/text away. I will be using him for all my ls needs. Great turn around time and a great product. 5 stars isn’t enough. Hit him up and don’t hesitate to contact him with questions!!!

Communication is absolutely incredible. More importantly his tunes are amazing! Via remote tuning he was able to tell me that I had a couple of sensors that needed to be replaced, abs other things that needed attention. And once I replaced them it fixed the issue that I was having. I had broke down twice, once with my family. I sent him a log of it running (barely) and he immediately diagnosed the problem for me, He didn't have to do that. It was after hours, which made his integrity stand out. But he most definitely is a 4am friend for those lucky enough to be in his circle. His tunes are incredible, his customer service is incredible. He goes way above and beyond a tune. From even the basics, like setting up my HP Tuners correctly, to helping me diagnose an issue that left stranded

Derek is the most helpful and knowlegable person I've come across while on my journey with a modified Gen5 Camaro. He performed the tune for the builder we bought the car from and continued to help us troubleshoot multiple things after we purchased the car. Our transmisison began to fail which he helped troubleshoot, and then after we replaced it with a 6l90 that needed tuning as well.
He is incredibly responsive, patient and generous with his time and knowledge. Don't waste your time trying to find another tuner, Derek is your guy.

I recently had the pleasure of getting my car tuned by Derek, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, Derek provided excellent service that was both professional and thorough. He took the time to explain every step of the tuning process, ensuring I understood what was being done and why.
Now that my car is tuned, I’m all set to hit the track! I’m excited to gather data and send it back to Derek for further analysis. I truly appreciate his expertise and dedication, and I look forward to working with him more in the future to enhance my car’s performance. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a top-notch tuning experience!

DDTech did an amazing job tuning my truck. The difference was noticeable right away—way better throttle response, smoother shifts, and the truck just feels stronger and more refined overall. He clearly knows his stuff and took the time to get everything dialed in right. It honestly drives like a completely different truck now. Couldn’t be happier with the results and I’d recommend Derek to anyone looking to get their truck tuned the right way.

Derek is by far one of the best tuners out there! He always makes an effort to explain & NOT sound condescending or rude.
By my 3rd file in HPT I realized he was legit as nearly all my previous issues were gone. I've offered plenty of times to pay for additional changes and he respectfully declined. I've driven over 10k miles on his tuning and the truck continues to perform amazing!
Here's a pic of my 16 Sierra Whipple, LT4 fuel, 10L80 swap.
2/1/26 Update. Changed my setup to built motor & 15psi.This came ONLY because shit E85 killed my injectors and I thought the engine was hurt(it wasn't). Derek once again delivered top notch service and answered all my questions and addressed all my concerns. The truck is an absolute sleeper animal! Spins all 4 tires off the line pedaling it!!

First, Derek got back to my emails super speedy. Got me in for a tune as soon as possible, and got it right.
Any questions I asked, he answered, and took the time to explain things. My truck feels more enjoyable and smooth. Just plain SMOOTH. the shifts are quick with no jerks, the throttle response is instant, the truck is way happier and so am I.
Once finished, he made sure to ask if anything else needed changed or any shift points adjusted.. very professional and respectable!
I’ll recommend DDTech to anyone thinking about getting a tune

I had my truck remotely tuned but Derek. The problem with tuners today its hard to find good trustworthy ones. He's the 3rd tuner ive had because the other 2 just never got the truck right and seemed like they didnt want to take the time to fix it. They were to worried about other things. Derek nailed the tune and restored some faith haha. We went back and forth for hours with data logs and tune files until the truck was perfect. He is a must use tune for sure and I will be telling everyone I know to use him.
