Soooo...what I'm getting is that there is not a single reputable tuner in Southern California?
I just got a Stiegemeier Stage 5+ port, Dragon throttle body, and ported/welded plenum for my Termy and need a local spot for a dyno tune. Soooo are there any well known tuners around here?
i got my tune from dante almost year ago and i have had timming turned since may of last year, i fried my plug last month thats the fist time i had any problems...the only reason i made it to 7.83 is because i turned timming and the meth allowed me to do that...im done debating about dante and jba.....you guys can keep swinging from their nuts but you guys are going to be looking at my tail lights at barona.....PEACE!!!!
I went 15000 miles on 700 whp worth of whipple nitrous with my tune.Then hit the rev limiter on a missed shift on the jug and nipped a piston.
You dont have to have two people to tune a car,if you start with a plenty safe timing map and get your fuel were you want it,i data log everything every single pull,you get your a/f about 5% richer then you want it and bring your timing back in 1 degree at a time,that will bring your a/f back to your ideal area you want it at.I have a customer with an 06 3V Mustang that got a 2.3 Whipple at 3K(It sat on the lot for a WHILE). It now has 80K on it. It first had the 8lb kit with the GT500 fuel kit and it was chunking belts.........first kits did that crap. It's had the 12lb kit on it now for 45Kmiles at 501 RWHP on poopy Phoenix 91 octane.
He's gone thru several input shafts on the tranny before we installed a GT500 6060. He's on his second twindisc clutch! He's on his second rebuild on the rear! He makes full throttle pulls to the redline in 6th!:nonono: Every single thing we told him NOT do to, he has done..........NUMEROUS TIMES.........and that dang engine still runs smooth with no oil burning and no rattle on start up. It's used Motorcraft synthetic blend.
Tuning on most cars is pretty simple.........honestly. Go to the shop and actually watch them tune(IF they will let you!) See if they data log several parameters. See if they have TWO people on the dyno when the tune is fairly close or if it's a difficult tune. If they don't have two people and one has a flashlight to call off the run if he sees detonation out the exhaust, check them off your list. Check to see if the operator making the run can see the dyno's wideband output. See if they pull out as soon as it trends lean.
If any of the above proceedures are missing, go somewhere else!
To the OP:
That should be a pretty nice combo! I've seen some pretty nice numbers from that combo. Good luck with your search for a good tuner. If you have any questions about anything you see at the shops, feel free to PM me. I'll be happy to answer your questions. I'm sorry that I can't recommend a shop to you in SoCal, since I don't know any of the tuners personally.
