Default Tuner in Missouri

I'm looking for a good tuner in the St. Louis area to do a good dyno tune. Just got PRC 215 and MS4 in last weekend in need of a tune. Any help is great.

I have only heard good things. No personal experience though.

Keith McCord resides on that side of the state and is very good. He tuned my twin turbo 402 car.

Default McCord

How hard is the guy to get ahold of? Sometimes I can, sometimes I can't. He did some tune work for me a year ago and I need to revisit my tune. I can get him when I don't need him and can't when I do??

I got a hold of Keith today for info about a tune. He sounds like he knows his stuff. But you say he's hard to get a hold of down the road.

Go for it, you won't be dissappointed, my car was complicated. Boosted 3 Bar SD. Nonetheless, after working with him yesterday I had it squared away. Never ran better.

How'd it turn out? He really knows his stuff and takes pride in his work. I think we spent 30 to 45 minutes doing driveability on my TT car long before it every made it on the dyno. He was asking me to simulate stop and go driving, sudden stops, etc etc.

keep us posted.
I'm getting parts together for a MS4, non emissions LT's, ORY, LS6 intake job and I'm hoping to get as much out of it as possible without losing too much driveability (though the car is NOT a daily... I like to try to drive it every couple of days cause it's so darn fun to drive... )
