Default Good tuner in DFW

I am looking for a good tuner in DFW for my truck. I want speed density, and dont want some one learning on my truck. I want someone who knows what they are doing. Anyone used any of the shops around here?

I need someone who has experience doing speed density for F.I. Most of the shops I have contacted locally dont do alot of speed density.

The truck has a forged 370, 72mm front mount turbo, Meth, Nitrous, 4L80E swap, 9.5 14 bolt rear.

everyone i referenced above has experience doing SD tunes on FI applications...


Matt G at RPM knows his stuff
Daniel at SQR knows his stuff
Chris M at HPP knows his stuff
Sam knows his stuff

for your application you can't really go wrong with any of the above mentioned....

get ahold of all 4 and go with which ever one makes you feel most comfortable....

I'm not going to divulge anymore information than what I already said. There are much better tuners in the dfw area. My vote goes to Simple Quick Racing.

Sam tuned mine 2 weeks ago and i am so pleased with his tune i am going to ask him to tune my 414 when its done. I went to Quality in lewisville and they did a less than **** poor job!! Sam spent more time getting the idle right than they did with the whole damn tune.
