If I spent that much on my car, I would spend the $18 in gas to drive to CMS. Actually it wouldn't cost you anything in gas, because Ryne doesn't charge as much as your being quoted.

First, don't go anywhere near Superior. They made multiple mistakes on my car and also told me my car was tuned and let me take it home surging very badly and told me the computer would learn within 50 miles. It didn't learn. They also tuned it with a Predator. They don't know what's going on except for old school hot rods with carbs.
As far as tuners, Haddad is one of the best plus he has a "Dynapack" load bearing dyno which makes part throttle driving adjustments way better than other dynos. Lots of tuners can tune full throttle but most of your driving is not with the pedal mashed down. I'd wait to make sure it's done correctly.

google "Shawn Ellis" or "socal tuning" or even put them together.. a lot of mustang threads with unhappy customers. I found these:

I'd steer clear and go to a GM shop.

BTW....Ivan? How are the wife and kids and is your mom still stripping at the Silver Spur? Last time I visited her she was giving out $20 lap dances "a great deal, if ask me..." with such experience and flexability, it pretty hard to resist such a deal.
Anyways...how's that for conversation engagement?

Your right Ivan, I haven't been on this board much lately...the **** talking has gotten pretty slow here...lol But I always see post like this and feel bad for these mis-guided people on the path to "Vehicle Hardship". Why not just send them to CMS and have them get the job done right the first time at a resonable price. I know there is other shops out there and I know most of their owners, but the truth is I believe in the CMS name and from personal experience have been taking care of nicely. (Man Juice and all)

Yea go with CMS. I've never had any personal experience with them, but almost everyone I've talked to says CMS is the best. After I get enough money to build my motor, I'm going to drive it up to CMS for a tune.

That is also Load Bearing Dyno. CMS also drives it on the street when they are done to make sure that all the driveability is 100% I have seen a lot of big 408/416/418 cammed cars come out of there that drive really nice. Not to mention he tuned my 403 with a big 252/260 on a 111 lsa cam WS6. It drove nice and made 780 on a 150 shot with pump gas! I cant wait for him to tune my new set up with my Procharger.

Basically, the Dynapack hooks directly up to the hubs, eliminating the rims & tires.
Hopefully, I won't get kicked off of the forum for this, but here's an article about it published and / or written by Church Automotive Testing in Wilmington.

really its not? considering haighter used to be my employee he would know what dyno i have. our dyno is a load bearing dyno. it applies the load via a large eddy current retarder on the side on the dyno unit. i set the load to each vehicle by only only allowing car to accelerate at certain rate of speed (for example 8 kph per second) by doing that it places load on the car. (the lower amount of kph of acceleration more load there is). now that is for WOT pulls only. as for when i am dialing in a ve or maf table on the dyno, i have a acceleration and stabilization modes where i can hold the car at any given Kph and those fully load and fill in a ve/maf table. ( although i feel i get better results on street , then only on the dyno).. i can pretty much operate my dyno like a engine dyno, (which we all know is load based water brake system, like a dynapack). here is some more info on our dyno

maybe next time you should inform yourself better, before commenting.
