Default best dyno tune in houston area?

Looking for a good dyno tune. I live in la porte anyone know of a good place. I found a guy on craigslist that charges 250 but don't know. Are most places insured just in case the motor blows. I've never had one done so I don't even know if that possible.

Insured if your motor blows?

You put your car on a dyno and it blows up that's normally your problem.

If your motor blows it won't be because of the Dyno tunning.You have the same chance of blowing up the motor hauling *** down the street/track.

That being said I wouldn't trust JOE BLOW to tune my **** just cause he's cheaper. Also, if you get a real tune the retunes are free.

The guy on Craigslist is Charles Anders I believe, he did a great job on my tune, search around on the forums here for his name. If you got questions email him, I had alot of questions before I got mine done and he did some adjustments a few weeks later with no charge.

I wouldn't skimp on the tune.A good tune will shine and driveability will be spot on.A bad tune will end up costin you more down the road.Not smart but I do learn from my mistakes

Yeah kind of figured it would be my problem if it blew because that would mean I had problems before I took it in. But like I said never had one done before. Also his name is chuck. I do not want to skimp but I figured someone here might know his work and give me a yes or no on him. It will be probably another month or so but I want to start looking and planning now.

There are a lot of members who have been tuned by Chuck in the past. You could make a thread asking about his tuning and delete this one. I think you would get more info that way.

G-Force. Why have to worry or ask? Just go with the pro's and you'll be fine. Not a knock on this other fellow, he might be very good. Hell, there are others that are competent..... but I have been dealing with G-Force since damn near their opening and I can honestly say, they will do you right and you won't even have one worry.
