My Lund Motors experience:
I have the following mods on my 06 GT...
JLT CAI
Pypes L/T Headers
Pypes O/R H-Pipe
4.30 gears
I took my car to them and felt they were very firendly, pleasant people to deal with. They did several pulls with my car and were very willing to answer questions I had (I had several with this being my first Dyno). After a couple hours they gave me a tune that they said was a nice little step up from the 91 octane Brenspeed tune I already had.
It seemed to drive okay on the way home but I didn't really get on it until I got to some backroads. I stopped, got ready to lay a black mark (while my wife is rolling her eyes in the passenger seat), stomped on the gas, took off like a bat out of hell, and then felt the car fall on it's face.
I pulled over switched to the Brenspeed tune and tried the black mark again. I must have burnt half of my new tread off with that one!
I pulled back over and reloaded the Lund tune. The same thing happened where it fell on its face as the RPM's built up.
I called and spoke with them and they agreed to try to tune my car again but felt it was probably kind of a waste of time since Brenspeed had provided me with a tune I was satisfied with and they doubted they could do much better.
In the end, I wish I wouldn't have taken a day off work, driven an hour and a half each way, and spent a couple hundred bucks - only to end up with a tune I may as well delete from my XCal III. They were nice people and probably very good at what they do. Even doing it via email, I feel Brenspeed is the best choice for 3V engines after this experience though. If I ever have a car that needs dyno-tuned, and there's no specialized company out there, I would not hesitate to go back to Lund Motors. I don't mean to bad mouth them, I'm just dissappointed because, in the end, I got nothing for my money.
They are honest, good people though, which is the most important component of a shop! keep that in mind.

Hello all of you bad drivers, I mean Iowegians! (Lol I'm only joking :P) I'm just to the North of you in Austin MN, is Cedar Falls the closest track to me, and are any of you in my area? I'm literally on the border, ten minute drive and I'm in IA
