Default central WI shops

Any dyno shops around central wisconsin marathon county area or do i need to go south to chicago? I know waukesha has one but that is still a good 3-4 hour drive.

thanks!

You from Wausau? No shops around here that aren't crazy on the prices. I hear Beyond redline in GB does nice work.

The shop in Wausau wants over $1000.00 for a tune. They charged my buddy 1200 to tune his GTO.

$500 is about what tunes go for.

Hence why I said well over $500. Like 1gt2nv said, the local shop here charges $1000 dollars for a dyno tune. That is ****** ridiculous!

I can vouch for Beyond Redline in Green Bay. They do really good work and you WONT pay $1000 for a tune. It might even be a little under $500. They tune and build a lot of LSx cars/ trucks. They tuned my car, and it runs awesome. Give them a call 920-498-1223

If you have an extra hour to trip from West Bend to Racine....there's a fella
named Ron Wesley who owns Clocks Off Racing. He has no dyno but can tune
the hell outta anything. My 03 Silverado SS went from 15.2 to 14.8 with tune
only. He also tunes 7, 8, and 9 second drag cars. He knows LT and LS stuff
and is very reasonable on pricing.

Places that charge you 300-400 bucks for a tune does a few pulls (full throttle tunes) and that's it, No part throttle, and no drive-ability. DoneRite Automotive does much more than that. He tunes the cars specifically for your applications, and even does a street drive-ability tune as well. You pay for what you get. Then to the part you mention of killing TWO engines and then you bring up D & D LOL Pot meet Kettle?

West bend is around $700 speed density tune, $600 maf tunes...but Tom knows his ****. What about edcmat? He tunes remotely and I'm pretty sure you could just rent the dyno by the hour

West bend did a sd tune, maf tune, and street tune on my car for $550. It runs great and I have no issues with the tune at all.
