Do you have a wideband?

I'll jump in here...Nate is my personal preference. Done the "Bro" thing...not impressed at all. You couldn't PAY me to let him touch my car. Buschur is supposed to be great on standalone, but last I knew doesn't touch stock ECU. And then there are a bunch of others that are all in that next level. I mean, to be honest, there is only so much that can be done on stock ECU with bolt ons and cams.

Nate is local, and if you have any problems you run back up and he'll take care of you. Yes, I admit he's a bit hard to get ahold of initially, but once you have him he will always be available to you.

If I had another Evo, he's who I'd go to. He is who will be taking care of the GSX - no question. Good tuner, good guy.

If anyone wants me to see what he would do for a group rate, let me know. I don't even know where he is tuning now - last I hear he was tuning back at Slowboy. Some of you may not like Slowboy or maybe don't like the Dynapacks...but as Dan said - Dyno number doesn't mean ****...What are you running at the track?? Are you happier when you leave the tune than when you went in??

My $.02, but no one could convince me to go to anyone but Nate. Yes, I'd go with a group to a dyno just so I could jump on and compare what my numbers on the same day with everyone else and to have a fun roadtrip, but tuning - no one but Nate.

Well I'm not trying to sway anyone to do anything - just my $.02

If you all decide you want me to get ahold of him, someone let me know.

Well I have some print outs when I went to Chad's to just get some runs in for a baseline and at 6600 I was in the 11.7 range.

I don't have a preference....I just want to get the most out of my set-up with a
margin of safety. I would really like to try and get on a mustang dyno only cause
that's what my baseline numbers are from and I want to see my gains.....I could
care less about the overall number but I don't care about improving. Denny could
you talk to Nate and see what he would do for a group rate. Maybe see if he knows
of any awd mustangs around there area.

I can find out about a rate, but there aren't any AWD Mustangs around...You would still need to head out east for that. Might still be worth it for you guys to just have them tune it out there. I understand the desire to have a before and after number! LOL

See to me that is good - I tune my car for high 11's and then adjust my timing accordingly. That is not conservative......least afr wise, I would have to see your timing #'s to see what they looked like. You probably have more left on the table with boost and timing to compliment your afr for some extra power.

That is why it is important to pick your tuner , and stick with it on the same dyno. The before and after is still important.

But again numbers are not the measurment of performance. The proving ground is at the track E.T.'s and MPH tell the truth

Well actually I was just talking to Justin and he said Speed Nation has a Mustang but we are going to check to see if it's AWD or not. I'm guessing no but we will see. Worse comes to worse, I'll have nate do a tune then run out to CBRD at some point
to do a few runs again on the dyno to see what she does. I'm easy going..lol
