Question Tune?? Where??

I just got done installing my Kooks long tubes, LS6 intake, and deleting my AIR and EGR systems. I was wondering where you guys would recommend to get it tuned. I live near Flint, Mi. I would also prefer it to be semi-close. I wouldn't mind driving a small distance if I knew I was going to be treated right, and that they would do a good job....HELP PLEASE!!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

-James

I am not sure if I would want to do my own tuning...I know nothing about it, but I might be willing to learn if it would be as good as what they could give me.

Speed Inc. is in Illinois. Stenod and Livernois are probably both around an hour away from you, check 'em out.

I second Sean@CARS. I believe he does some of the tuning for Stenod as well.

Vector Motorsports(Kirk Dearhamer) did mine. I picked up around 20 to the tires over another dyno tune that I had elsewhere, and driveability was excellent after he was done with it. Car was done next day as well. I believe he does all of the tuning for Katech.

Both dynos are "accurate" they just measure differently. A Mustang dyno is a load bearing dyno so it reads lower than most Dynojet dynos. The dyno you run on isnt as important as the person tuning it. Living in Michigan you have some good choices to pick from such as Stenod and W2W.
