BEST TUNER in the Midwest? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

WhippedMach · 03-19-2010, 03:08 AM

So here shortly i'm going to be in the need of a tuner. i live just south of Kansas city missouri, and at this point it seems that there are no tuners in the KCMO KCKS area that are worth a ****. so i've pretty much come to the fact that im going to need to trailer my 3.4l whipple mach to a tuner thats worth a ****. i would be willing to go as far north as minnesota, or as far south as texas. but i want to keep the drive to no further than 13-14 hours away. I'm looking for a e-85 tune @ 25#'s of boost. so does any one have any sugestions?

I hear there is a guy by the name of ed wright in oklahoma. thats pretty good? but i'm looking for any and all suggestions.

Check out Andy Wicks at Dyno Tune USA in watertown SD. I know he has done a lot of things with E85 tunes and conversions, and has been featured in at least one artcle in 5.0. You should definitely check him out I hear a lot of good things about him on local forums (Minneapolis area).

He will be tuning my car when I am ready.

I have my Mach with Lidio at Alternative as I type this. He is installing the 4.10 and a custom dyno tune. I will let you know how it turns out later this week. I have herad nothing but good things about this shop and it seems to be known across the county as one of the premier Ford performance shops.
