If hes a good tuner he will send you a file that you can load up on your SCT and you can drive it there. I drove my 283 to the dyno with cams in it and he sent me a canned tune. It got me there though. So Id def talk to him but I wouldnt drive it tothe dyno like that. You dont wana riska blown motor.

Hmmm I'm not very surprised....The Shop specialize in Porsches and Rice. They do incredibly great work but thats unfortunate that they don't have SCT....
When you called The Shop, did you talk to the owner Jimmy?

SGS Automotive is dillsburg PA is a top notch shop as well if you're willing to drive. Their tuner dave guy has a 8 second street car powered by a turbo 4v its always in the mustang magazines in the NMRA event sections. Great bunch of guys down there and its quality in everything they do.

Yes I did speak to Jimmy, wonderful guy, but like you said all there investments have been in import/rice stuff.
I just spoke with EFI and they will tune for $500, and bethel is much closer, only 50 miles. I can get a handheld and tune for 8 bills through them and they will do a base tune. I can even flatbed it and still come in close to my original price point. Thanks for the recommendation, Ill let you know how it turns out.
Thanks everyone, much appreciated.

^^^Good luck bro. I had planned on driving my car down but the emailed tune just wasn't good enough. I've decided to flat bed it down (thank God for my F150) because I dont wanna get half way down there and BOOM! I don't know if you had your car started yet but mine ran and I can tell you that the V1 S/C is the shi*. Man with the cams thumping in the background and the V1 in the front that sh** is pure sex.... Got an appt Tuesday for the tune so I'll let you guys know how it goes...Once again good luck bro!
