Default good tune shop

Im just about ready to get my car on the dyno for a GOOD tune.

Id like to know if anyone knows a great shop around MD (will travel out of state) that can tune a car with a STS kit. I know of PSI@GB and f body central.

Id like a shop that has thier own dyno (mustang or dynojet) that has done a sts car before.

Thanks

Thumbs up

Cartek Racing (www.cartek.net) is a bit of a ride for you (in NJ) but has vast amounts experience installing and tuning STS/rear mounted turbo set ups and turbo/supercharger systems in general.
Definitely worth the trip.

Depending upon where in MD you are, Cartek isn't that far of a ride. I'm guessing you could be there in 2 1/2 hours. Considering the headaches you could encounted with a poor tune, 2 1/2 hours is nothing for a bit of piece of mind....

I know several guys in the area (MD) who have had very positive results with TTP, also in NJ.

Give me a call if you want to talk about tuning. I do my own tuning and we are a dealer for STS so I've done a few
