Default Tuners in WI, northern IL

I am looking for someone to tune my 94 Cobra, I had used Bob Kurgan in the past but he is no longer in the area. Any help is appreciated.

I've had every Mustang I've owned dyno tuned and never paid anywhere near $1,000. Kurgan was $325.00

what mods do you have to justify a tune?

Have you ever considered saving yourelf the money from tuning "every car you have" and doing it yourself?

I have the full Delta force Commando kit but for the 94 I need a chip and the chip burner and new template which is about $900.00 I thought it might be cheaper to get a dyno tune

Mods are Dss 347 stroker, billet crank, H Rods, AFR 205 Heads, 11.1 compression, .600 lift solid roller cam, 2 stage nitrous, 75mm MAF, 38lb injectors, Trickflow R intake, MSD 7al, MSD 2 step, C4 mighty mite manual valve body trans with brake, Art Carr converter, Moser rearend, full spool 31 spline. Full tubular suspension, Coilover front and back, anti roll bar, you get the point.

someone lied to you... Moates Quarerhorse is $250.... Nobody uses chips for self tuning anymore.

As for templates... the .def files for the CBAZA ECM are widely available... so are the .bin files (T4M0, J4J1, W4H0, ZA0, etc etc)

the files are free too
