Default 408 and T88 Turbo almost done Now I need a Tuner

Hey Guys I need a little help, My 408 and T88 Turbo almost done.
Now I need a tuner
someone that knows there **** about turbo's.
So who is the best turer for my setup.
408 iron block with all the best internals fully coated pistons
T88 turbo
ETP 255 heads 72cc 8.7 1 compression
ECS custom fuel system
with 95 lb injectors
3 bar map
no MAF SD tune

I also am using HP tuners 3 bar tuning
This is so new to me that I am not even sure what to do to get the motor started, So is there someone that has a bin that might get me going until I can get it somewhere to get it tuned?

I don't mind to travel a little
Thanks Guys
Dave Dillon

I would put the car on a trailer and take it to Wheel To Wheel.

But then again I'm kinda biased.

Do you have a impedance converter for the 95lb. injectors? The stock computer won't be able to a low impedance injector.

I agree with Dave...take it to W2W.

W2W is in Detroit, top notch facility and employees though.

You also have Speed Inc in Chicago, Exotic Performance Plus in Ft Wayne and Alan Futral but he is pretty far south of you in louisiana..

well you could take it to lingenfelter if you are made out of money. I know Epp could do the job, as they have been tuning some turbos as of lately. ask for Bob

I don't think LPE would charge ya to much for just a tune. They for sure know FI setups. Might be worth a call. There one of the best shops in the country. Sometimes you get what ya pay for!!! W2W and Speed inc have it going on to!! If LPE is closer I'd take the car there.

Wheel To Wheel for sure! they did my car (just heads and cam) but my car was the ONLY NA car in the whole shop! i seriously felt like a i had the slowest POS car there lol everything there was turbo or SC! they know their stuff! it was $595 for my dyno/tune...guy named kirk does the tuning and he is the man!

they are located in madison heights (South eastern Michigan)

32505 Industrial Drive
Madison Heights, MI 48071

if you wanna map-quest it for a general idea.....i will be going back to them when i get a turbo set-up!
they're about 5 minutes from I-75 so it shouldn't be hard to get there!

Check out Scott Racing in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have plenty of turbo set-up, fabrication, and tuning experience. . You can also get a discount for joining the Northern Kentucky F-body Association

As said above you would be better off bringing to a reputable tuning shop and have them do the startup on the car.Also expect there to be some bugs to work out which will probly cost more $$. A mail type tune just won't do it for a startup,it needs to be monitered right from when you first turn the key
