Memphis tuner? I don't care about racing just playing but I need some help with tuning my GTO. Just bought it about a month ago. I can't find a vacuum leak, it has headers and no cats, and I am not sure if it has an aftermarket cam or not. It runs good if I keep my foot in it and get it in the next gear.Who should I go to to have it tuned around Memphis?
I've heard its hard to get appointments at Dynospeed and they take forever, but not bad mouthing them, that's just word-of-mouth. I personally had Brian Brennan do the work on my car, and it's been fine. If interested I can give you his number (PM)

Do not got with Brian Brannen. He took $6,500 of my money as payment up front for a twin turbo project, cut the roof off of my car, closed the doors and refused to help by welding the roof on my car so I could move it. I'll never see that money ever again and he's a piece of ****.

Its worth the drive to go to someone who is an actual Tuner. Anyone can buy HPtuners and start calling themselves a tuner. You have a lot of options that arent a long ways off....Damian, Vengeance, and others.
If you think they are more expensive or too far to drive look at it this way. What will it end up costing you if you have a local half *** dude do it and end up having to get it done twice?
Go to a reputable shop that has been doing it for years and has tons of positive feedback. They are still in business and have all that feedback for a reason.
They actually KNOW what they are doing rather than just claiming they know what they are doing without having a clue.
I have a 98 vette with a small cam and heads that a local so called tuner did and it doesnt run right to this day. I will be making the trip to a reputable out of town tuner as soon as I get the chance. Mines not a daily driver so Im not in a hurry.

but dont worry, as soon as I get someone who actually can tune to redo it, I will post the old tune right here for the world to see. Then you can speak up and tell everyone how wonderful it is!! Im curious...how does it feel being the one to have to run around and defend someones crappy workmanship and idiocy? You will get tired of it too. Your just in a fog like I was for a few years. It will all come to you eventually and you will realize its not worth the effort anymore.
whats really weird is that you found it necessary to comment on my post while completely ignoring Jims.

Whats there to say about Jims post. It was a crappy deal no doubt about it, but like I told him I had nothing to do with that car. I never had any intentions to work on that car cause I had no idea what to do on it. As far as that car goes when it was dropped off there were 2 people involved in that business. As far as Jim goes I would sit down and talk to him face to face, man to man and tell him my dealings and feelings on the car. So Jim if you read this you can PM me with your number if you want and when you get in town and want to sit down and chat let me know.
As far as me footing the bill you have no idea what you are talking about. The only money I invest is money I get back from people. I have nothing tied up in his tuning software or anything else for that matter. This will be my last post in this thread about this because it will never go anywhere and I refuse to go back and forward with this.

Never had any problems out of Brian. In fact, he is the only person who works on my car or does any tuning. The car runs great, idles like stock even with a cam, and he even miraculously M6 swapped without one single problem. Sounds like a hack artist to me... I'm sorry some people have had bad experiences, but I just can't bad mouth a person when I have had nothing but good from him. Just sayin.
To OP and others:
I can remember when I stuck up for Brian also. Still think his family are great people. Even fronted alot of money to get him started in his business venture. I got him a job out there at TEES even. I had nothing but good stuff from him for awhile. Then he took all my money, left me with a cut to pieces car, an engine that won't even turn over, and crates, and boxes of parts. I'm still not even sure what I have to this date since I basically just parked the car and deployed. Someone brought up Brian Brannen. Thats my experience with him. Others on here won't deny my experience either, it's not a lie. Give him your business if you'd like, it's your money and car. just sharing my experiences. To the OP, sorry your thread got clouded up with bullshit. I hate when that happens in my threads also.
To Dennis:
I'll see you at the meetings when I get back Dennis. have nothing against you or complaints against you.
I'll bring the WS6 to the meetings one of these days when I get time to go through it again. All BB parts removed, custom ones installed. Car will be what it was always supposed to be.
