Default Tuner/Dyno in Memphis?

Does anyone know of a reputable tuner(s) here in Memphis? I know Xtreme Auto has a dyno but do they have onsite tuners? Thanks for all the help

I've heard they are about the only place to go in Memphis. But i don't know if it's "the best option". Anyways, would it be worth it to drive 6 hours to Baton Rouge to get Thunder to hook me up? I've heard their tunes are top notch.

There is a tuner here in AR, username RHINO79 (uses EFILIVE wideband software). There is a dyno shop here in LR called POLK.

I know Dyno Speed is over there in Memphis but I dont know if they can do GM cars or not. They are big Mustang tuners, and they do imports also.

personally, I would go to TR and get the tune if I were you.. That's where I'm going around the first of the year for mine. Josh tunes at xtreme, but it wouldn't be my recommendation.

I'm Josh from Xtreme Auto. I would suggest calling and talking with all the tuners you are looking at and take it to who you feel can/will do the best job for you. 9 years ago before I started tuning I would drive to Dallas for a tune because that is the closest place that I felt could do the best job.

Another Rhino79 tune here.....definitely worth checking into. He'll even travel for a small fee and his tune price can't be beat. A fraction of what the big names will charge. All the local cars use him with great success. He'll treat your car like it's his own and really wake it up.
