It might help if you list your modifications and a slightly more specific geographic location that offers better detail than "2 hours from the coast"..Just sayin

There is roughly 12,000 miles of coastline in the US.....are you two hours from all of it?

Just a little internet hazing man. You'll have to get used to that around here.

You're a lot closer to the LA tuners than anywhere else so I'd travel down there. Either Alan @ Futral or Geoff @ EPS can take care of you. Patrick G whom is an admin on this site also tunes cars in the LA area and is very good. Google says you're 4 hrs from their area, but it'd be worth the drive. Not many tuners in Alabama know WTF they're doing.

"Gomer" is another option. I think he still lives in Alabama, and has been tuning cars for years. I don't have any personal experience w/ his tuning but the word on the street is he's damn good at it.

No problem man. Alot of the people on here are dick heads for some reason. There are a few helpful ones on here. If I were u I would call Geoff over at EPS in La. He is a nice guy and a very good tuner. Here's his #1-225-751-8500.

^^ I've have had James (RWTD) do several of my cars. I get fed up with his crap. You all right. He never has time for u and is always " gone outta town". Alot of us local guys use to use him ALOT. Most of us have moved on to other tuners. James is good when he will answer. But after ur first tune when he gets the money he is REALLY hard to get in touch with.

There is a shop in Pensacola called XXX Motorsports. Brad is the owner and I believe he can get you squared away with the tuning as well.

Nope. They are definitely still open to the best of my knowledge. Pass by it pretty regularly. John does good tuning work. He tuned by bro in laws TA and once I start modding I am hoping he will tune mine.

hmmm... i called John a couple weeks ago and he said the shop was no longer a everyday deal. he said he will only tune on the side because he is managing a auto parts store. but he still tunes on the side is what he told me??? Maybe they still modify cars and build them but i kno John has another job as of right now.

May also want to check with JMS over in Lucedale, MS. I know they're assumed to be a "mustang shop", but they're good tuners and they've built all kinds of vehicles. It's fairly close to you as well.

They've tuned Ford, GM, and Dodge as far as I know. They are good tuners who aren't afraid to put the time in on the dyno to get it right. I would at least give them a call if I were you, especially since they're so close to home.
