Who can tune my car? I live in Iowa City (Yuck! that gast'a suck!) Any, after I get done with my motor who can I take my car to to tune it? I would suppose Chacago may be closest?
Would this be money well spent or can I do the same using my A Tap & MAFT?
I want it tuned for running nitrous (Not sure if it makes a differnce).

Re: Who can tune my car? One of our sponors is Speed Inc.
They have a dyno now with a wideband.
I'm bringing my car other there and Brian from BV Performance will revise my tuning.
You may want to talk to Brian and get his thoughts. Maybe you should shoot for a more conservative amount of timing and a richer A/F ratio.
BTW, I did 435rwhp last time and have changed a few things to hopefully get the car up to 470rwhp or higher.

Re: Who can tune my car? There are a couple of excellent shops around the chicago area that have wide band tuning. My humble opinion, don't waste time w/ MAFT. I only gained 10 hp...and that was in conjunction with the wide band dyno. Custom tuning can net quite a bit more from what I've read. I'll let you know...Speed Inc is doing mine next week.

Re: Who can tune my car? Sorry for the ignorance here....I am assuming that I need to bring my car in to get custom tuned? Am I right? It seems this would be far more accurate. I also already have a MAFT on my car I won't have to buy one. ForbesSS This would still be beneficial at the track for minor tuning am I right?
John I'll be giving them a call when I closer to time to do it. Until then I'm still learning all I can. I'm about to order a WolfeRaceCraft Sway Bar but I need to talk to them to custom make it as my new rear end is shortend.
