Default Dyno tune around STL

I was looking into getting my car retuned. Has a shitty tune in it. Was leaning toward P2 Motorsports. Was wondering if any body has had anything done by Pauly or any other suggestions. Thanks

i would check out Pur Performance in st. charles. ive heard only good things about their work. however i would say stay away from redline performance! they do alot of copy and paste kinda tunes from what ive seen. just my 2 cents

I drove over 5 hours to go to pur performance. Keith Mccord does awesome work and is very knowledgeable.

Ill be doing a forged motor in the near future and will be making the drive again. Keith has my business from here on out....

Oh and his price can't be beat!

I have to disagree with the negative comment towards Redline Performance Motorsports... Tim who tunes the cars through Redline is very good at what he does..If youd like some more info or have any questions just pm me.

Anyone else. I am very picky on my street tune. Right now it just sucks. Cam surges like a ****, wont idle and is running rich as a pig.

i have heard excellent things about keith mccord but i don't know if he works at a shop now or not. i was thinking he used to do it on his own but was very hard to get ahold of

You're gonna hear bad stuff about nearly every tuner in the StL area.

IM sure that is the case with everyone. I had mine done at muscle mustangs of all places. Had a friend had his MUSTANG done there and they said they could do mine. That is a full throttle tuner only. Streetability sucks *****. But I quess thats what I get for going to a Mustang Shop. I have heard good things about Pauly at P2. But havent heard much. He just works a couple of days a week there and Sat by apt now. Heard of a good guy in Springfield but dont want to drive that far. Any way the more input the better

Pauly installed my headers, manifold, solid mm, tick master and dyno tuned. I would recommend him. Also his shop is close to Hooters.

Been doing some more research sounds like Keith McCord is one hell of a tuner. He is at Pur Performance now is that right? That would be close to me as well. Any other thoughts.

I have to agree with this statement.

I was working 80 hours a week and paid to have my car tuned by Keith McCord after my cam installation. It bucked terribly. Running errands around town required giving it gas to restart after shutting it off. I sent it back and explained what the car was doing, he went over the tune. It still bucked when the converter locked at anything under 55mph and the warm start idle still sucked. I took it to the track to see how it would run and was disappointed with a 12.5x @ 108. I played with the tune and got it to run a 12.40 @ 110 same day. Changed converter from a vig to Circle D and improved to a 12.1 @ 111mph. Times stated are n/a times.

so who would you recomend to get a tune? My other choice was Pauly at P2 motorsports. I have the same issue. Warm start ups suck and it bucks all the time. I have a MS3 cam.

Well you got out lucky my friend. Mine lasted the dyno tune the 535 mile trip back up to MN and 50 street miles before it blew up. Vengeance will only touch my **** from now on. Mike even said my injectors tables weren't right at all. Funny that he said that because I crack 3 piston. Ohhh and I paid for "FAST" injectors and got ******* semans in fast injector box.

If you're still looking for a tune, I do tuning out of Poplar Bluff. It's a bit of a drive, but my cost is probably a lot lower than the places you're looking at. I don't currently have a dyno but can get you on one for a tune if you really want it. All my work is custom, I may install a base tune but spend a few hours with the wideband driving dialing everything in within a few percentage points.

If you are interested, you can give me a call or text at 573-718-8733.

you will always hear good and bad. keith mccord did mine and ddid a good job. redline has done some good ones and some crappy ones also. alot of it depends on if the car is ready to be tuned and put together right.
