That's where I am trying to get back to on my Mustang also. I gave up on getting more power for now. Right now I just want to be able to drive it. Have no time to tune it myself, and the only tuner that I can find around here with any knowledge is only open M-F (when I work). Can't get the car out to him.Originally Posted by HyPer50
Not sure where you live, but Jeff Harris over at Prospeed is basically the best pushrod tuner around. 770-222-5015. Prospeed is over in Powder Springs/Austell, over by Mainstream auto or whatever.
I've already talked to him. I'm sure he would be fine for regular tuning, but my setup is above his level of knowledge. After talking to him, I realized that he is an old school chip burning guy, and he did not understand 16-bit computer technology. He has never tuned a Motec (but had heard of them). He did not know what a Haltech, Autronic, or Wolf even was (never heard of them). And he definately did not understand the difference between 8-bit and 16-bit technology. He would still be fine if I didn't already have the ECU (because a SCT would do the job for my littel bit of horsepower), but I already have the AEM. His solution - sell the brand new AEM at a huge loss and buy a SCT from him. That is not an option to me.
Basically, I don't feel comfortable with his tuning capabilities with my setup. I have had lots of bikes and cars (street and race) tuned by some of the top tuners in the world. I have used many different tuning systems, and I have tuned quite a few street cars myself.
I do like a lot of their work though and I will be sending my car there for other work, like suspension and probably motor work. I am confident in their abilities on those items.
I am having Tommy Higgins tune it when I can get it over to his shop. His shop originally built the car, and did the original tuning. It worked great until the ECU died. I don't have time to work on my cars with all of the craziness at work.
