Dyno Tuning in the Chicago Land Area

[nothingelse]

Hey guys I was just wondering a good place to get the car tuned. I live in Westmont and I took my car to Street Stuff the other day to have the dyno done. I was just wondering if you guys had any experience with them dyno tuning. I want to make sure that they are a reputable tuner before I take my car in there again.

I would recommend Sutton or Speed inc first, they have more experience with our cars and have had good results with board members.

I recently used Speed Inc. (very pleased) :biggthump

I agree. Sutton has put my car in the low 11's and offered to make it faster (low 10's) but I just do not want to put in a roll bar. Sutton can make it as fast as you want to fly and they are in the neighborhood. Those two shops know our cars.

Ditto to Andy and Harvey...

I have had great results with my Sutton tune.

yes 3 tunes , 1 didnt work, and the other 2 one's @ 10.1 A/F and the other i havent Dyno'ed yet

Can you give me an idea of how much the other two charge for a dyno tune. Street Stuff said it would cost about 220 to have it done thats if it takes 2 hours. Thanks for the replies guys.

We are now in 2006. There has been a lot of research and educated reports on the 2003 and 2004 Cobra. The only difference in tunes from qualified tuners are the price of the tune, and whether you want an aggressive or safe tune with the air fuel ratio (i.e. leaning out the fuel or adding fuel and timing). Sutton now has a lot of experience and can give you whatever you need to run fast or go aggressive to please a client looking for that last once of HP. No one should run their Cobra in the aggressive mod riding around town. Tuners give you what you want for a price. The air density on the day of your tune, the air charge temperture, and the maxium boost is a major factor in your tune. If you live close to Sutton, use Sutton. You can always have them make adjustments if you want to be more aggessive. With the right equipment, you can learn to tune your own car but do you want to spend $5,000 to $15,000 for the right equipment? I keep a log on all of my runs and tunes from different tuners. I know what I am talking about when I say there is no big difference between Top Tuners other than being more aggressive with their tune. Being too aggressive is too risky.

Jay were these mail in tunes or custom tunes? 10.1 is way too rich to make any good power from what I have read. But again im not a tuner but that seems on the rich side

I got a Diablo tune from James and it was almost perfect 11.8/1. I was satisfied with that but now I have a 2.76 sitting in a box waiting for the spring. Is anyone around here doing dyno tunes with the Predator?

I am starting to see your point about tuners, I have had many tunes from various people. 1 of them even melted plugs, I went with sutton and everything has been good so far, plus there local!! and there a big dealership so if you ever have problems just go to the top....

We are now a Diablo dealer. We can tune with your Predator. Just give Randy or Doug a call to set it up. Just as a side note, we are still a SCT dealer also. We have decided to also deal Diablosport so we can give all of our customers the best service available in the country. The reality of it all is the tune is only as good as the person doing the tune. There are some slight differences between the two but not anything that would affect the quality of the tune.
