My tune was ok at best, had to take it back multiple times to fix different things. He's a nice guy but will be taking my car to see Patrick G. in the up coming months. Tunes are like anything else these days, you get what you pay for.

He tuned my car when it was n/a with an MS3 cam, full bolt ons and made 380rwhp on a mustang dyno. I had a mail order tune from Texas Speed prior to that and it seemed to run better with the mail tune.

He did all the work I had done on my 05 A4 GTO, tunes, headers, 3200 stall, plugs, wires, the works.

Never had a problem and the car sat at number 1 on the GTO forums on the bolt on catagory on 3 different occasions.

He needs some people skills (he did over $3,000 worth of work and never explained what he did or even say thanks), but outside of that, he can work on my car anytime.

after screwing me on some parts for a turbo kit that was not complete... I would not let him tune my sons 5hp Briggs & Stratton Go-Cart.

Sorry for getting off subject, he may be a decent tuner but I will never find out.

Chuck Anders is NOT affiliated with Horsepower Engineering in any way.
Chuck has been gone for about six months now. I have a new tuner who actually takes his time to get it right the first time. Thanks Owen

Chuck is not that bad a guy, but Owen is the man. As Gary stated Chuck is no longer with HPE. Go see Owen and the guys up at HPE will take care of you. Did a damn good job on my LT1 tune recently.

+1 for LMR or G-Force.....friend of mine had his car tuned by Chuck when he did his cam swap, and it ran like ****, wouldn't idle for ****, the AFR was all jacked up, timing was off blah blah blah, needless to say, he took it else where when a local Mustang shop here, yes a Mustang shop tuned an LSX better than an LSX tuner did.....Upon a phone call to Chuck to ask a simple question on what wideband he was using to get the AFR, his responce.."Widebands are for guys that don't know how to tune, and I use skill and knowledge"......ture story..
