Its been awhile since I've been on here, I moved down to LA about 8 months ago. anyways I bought a set of mph 2 1/2 heads, pi intake, and some vt stage 2 cams for my car and I'm going back up north to install everything. I'm looking for the best place to get a tune for this setup. I'm also not made of money after buying everything so I cant spend a fortune on a dyno tune.

Call them up and mention that Jersey with the white coupe refered you there and they'll take care of you.
Good luck [patriot]

We have probably worked on more Mustangs than any other shop in Norcal. We have Factory Trained SCT tuners on staff to help you with any tuning needs you may have. If you are interested in our services please contact Chris or Mario at 408/588-0075.

They are expensive,they are well known and in the "wine country". I haven't heard anything bad from the dyno/machine shop side of the business.

I "had" heard much of the same. I'm personally helping out in their service area. I've spoken with Brad, owner, and Martin, foreman, regarding all I had heard. I've had my car tuned there and Jersey just drove a few hours each way to have his car tuned. I'd suggest you call and speak to Brad, let him know you spoke to me, Don, off this site and I assure you he will take care of you. Or you can email me with what you are looking for and I can speak to Brad personally and get back to you.

Brad was VERY receptive when we were speaking and did not know of the things being said on the outside so to speak.

Hope to see you down there,

Don

honestly,"expensive" is a matter of perspective..
To me 100 bucks it's expensive.. but, I would rather pay a little more if I knew i was getting a quality job done than taking a gamble with companies with poor reputation.
With that said.. I think some of our local shops charge outrageous prices and get away with it simply because there is no one else.
I'd rather drive and take my business elsewhere based solely on that principle.

Who are you trying to talk to when you call? Just curious.
