Actually I had him on my list of possiblities. Everyone seems to say its a good place, but no one has gone to him with turbo, only supercharger. Do you guys have a shop or what?

he is a joke...he tuned steves turbo vert and its running so lean its fucking his shit up bad....we are going to let him borrow our tweecer to see how much he likes our tune more then he is going to buy one for him self...

my brother inlaw also does tuning as well, he burnt a chip for my boss' son's car and it made 503hp to the rear wheel on pump gas through a t5...

people who say he is good has never acutally looked at what he does and hasnt gone to anybody else...i know SEVERAL people who are VERY disappointed in his work...

my car with the stock bottom end and a t76 made 575 on the race tune and 475 on the pumpgas tune with a tweecer(brother did the tunning) and now with my other motor it made well over 700 with a fast sequential with us tuning it....

I left a few messages for Kurtis about 8 months ago... still waiting for a call back.

I am sure he gonna get back at you real soon, your on a short list I am sure Paul!

Hey Ronny is shorter than me!

I haven't met Ronny yet, so I can only rag on you!

I feel like I am retarded when it comes to any kind of the electrical side of my car. Did not really want to tune it myself. I am one of those people who has to see things and have some direction. Basically all I am saying is I do not know anything about a tweecer or what is involved so I was hoping to get a dyno tune and be done.

well you dont have to buy a tweecer, you can get my brother inlaw to give you a dyno tune and he'll get you running right unlike curtis...

if you wanna get it tuned when its running just shoot me a pm and ill get you my brother-inlaws contact info and he'll get you going good

What, 1970's platforms? Don't be stealing Pauls driving shoes now

where is your brother-in-laws dyno?

my brother inlaw doesnt have a dyno but he goes to vangs and its about 50bucks for the dyno time and whatever he charges for the tune which isnt a hole lot, bet atleast 150 cheaper than kurtis

Sounds like a good deal to me. Hope you get that beast running right Austin.

I have also emailed some people about mail order tunes, kind of a weird concept just seeing what its all about.

With your setup Im not sure that would be the best Idea. Mail order tunes are great for a lot of applications, but when it comes down to a custom build....your best and safest results will come from a Dyno tune. I would not trust a mail order tune in your case.

my brother inlaw will hook you up good man, it will be a flip chip so you can ahve a pump gas tune and a race gas....and if you ever have a problem he will help you asap unlike kurtis

I dont think Ive seen kurtis in over a year.....Hell he took my Xcal 2 in for warranty....let me borrow an Xcal 3....and never called me back. Ive asked him 3 times about my Xcal 2.....but no response. Hey Im not complaining...I got an XCAL 3 out of the deal.....but not my fault...sometimes it pays to call people back

I totally hear you on this, but the guy doing it is known for doing these on turbomustangs, and a lot of other vehicles. Man sounds like a good deal with your brother in law. Guess I gotta get it runnin first.

Good luck!!

So I seem to be pretty close to firing it up. Lines are ran, not sure if the drain is going to work great or ill have to shorten it, but I'll give it a shot. All pipes are ran, gotta put oil in it, power steering fluid and battery. Oh and a passenger side valve cover breather if I can find one to fit next to the upper intake. I guess I am going to try and run the stock ignition for a bit. Till I feel like spending the money on a new one. I am mainly hoping everythign is sealed up okay.
