Default Tuner in North Louisiana
I am looking for a place to tune my '02 TA with an APS kit in north Louisiana. I checked with Thunder Racing, but they wanted $650 to do it. It seemed alittle on the high end to me. Any suggestions on a good tuner in the area that wont charge the crap out of me.

I was keeping the maf since I was DD the car year round. I didnt see the need to go to SD at the moment untill I put a forge motor in the car later in the year.

Futral quoted me 100.00 less than thunder, I ended up buying a wideband and HPT and just doing it myself though.

I did consider going ahead and getting HPtuners. But I thought a turbo setup would slightly over my head to learn on. The chance of blowing my motor while learning to tune scares the crap out of me.

Been there and done that. I wish I would have just paid someone else to tune it. I'll probably be bringing my new setup to Thunder. I still want to learn how but the learning curve is to costly.

I've got HP Tuners, I'm not even close to knowing what I am doing.... cheaper for me to get a professional tune. Allan @ Futral knows his Chit. Spend money now.... save money later... trust me.

I learned to tune on just a cammed motor and then tuned for the Nitrous, whatever you feel safest doing though.
