Tuners

[SonicSteed]

we need to find a local tuner in Arkansas, I know i live in Tampa, but we need someone to join the site to start sending some buisness to. anybody know a good tuner shop?

[1low03gt]

If you guys were local to me,a buddy of mine works for SCT,and does all the tuning locally here,he also does all there web,and advertising work aswell.When ever you see an SCT ad in a magazine.He did it. 8-)

[SlvrStang99]

Yeah I've wondered ever since I got my car where the big performance shops in Arkansas were. I know there has to be some good tuner shops and stuff, just no idea where lol.

[oxman]

well there used to be a good one in Conway, but that guy shut down a year or two ago.

[BadApple]

Used to be one in benton too, claimed to have built the worlds fastest TT lighting. The owner past away though and so the business was shut down. At least thats what I had heard anyway. I know this dosnt answer your question though lol sorry. I know of a guy in little rock by the name of peg who knows a bit about tuning. He owns a mustang dyno, and Ive heard that he has put out some impressive tuning work with various f/i cars. He dosnt do it commercially though so its kinda tough to get him to do it for you.

[SonicSteed]

would be nice to get him on board and see if the gang could have a dyno day...

[QuickShift]

the guy from little rock is James Heath, Owns East End Towing and has like every mustang you could want! 93 mustang gt, 04 mach 1, 07 shelby gt 500 with 2.8 KB, if you want to run on the dyno you have to call the towing service! i race with him at the centerville track several times, he's a pretty cool guy!
our than that i only trust one guy Joe Beegle at Dynospeed racing, memphis,TN has helped me and ours threw thick and thin

Do you think the guy from Benton would be interested in the gang having a dyno day? :)

[QuickShift]

im sure he wouldnt mind as long as we offer him like 40 buck per car for like 4 pulls? but he might say as many as we want but even at 40 for 4 passes is dirt cheap!

that's cool! Maybe if we get enough people that are interested in doing that, we might can try and set that up in a few weeks 8-)

[SonicSteed]

the last dyno day we had here went for 40. for 3 pulls. believe it or not its hard on equipment and personel who run those things man, breathing a lot of exhaust stinks. I hope you guys get that set up though!! don't forget lunch while your there, nice to cook out and chat about cars all day...

[SonicSteed]

Now that's a philosophy, I can get on board with! lol

[BadApple]

That would be awesome to have a dyno day, 40 bucks is more then worth it.

[04_S/C_GT]

So has anything been done about the dyno day or did i miss it?

[oxman]

no not yet, I was actually going to persue getting a date for that after the track day. I'am exited about that too! Also, still trying to get as many votes as we can on the best city decision under the events column. So, if anyone hasn't voted yet, please do that as well. thanks! :)

Polk Performance in now located in LR....off of County Line Road...Pulaski/Saline...The onwer is David Polk....Im sure he would like to host a DD for us. Don Polk was the owner and passed away form a 4 wheeler accident.

Yes they did build the first 5.4 4v TT Lightning. The tuning was done buy the owner of the truck. Not the shop. Im pretty sure between here and Arrides we could get enough people to make it worth his time.

The shop Caleb is taking about is Arkansas Bolt On Performance...its located in East End. Im sure he would also like to host a DD for us. Either shop is like 10 mins from my house :P

[oxman]

Yeah, I talked to James Heath at East end towing, and he said he'd give us a price break. I will try and schedule a DD probably in January.

[06MUSTANGGT24V]

Yep cant wait to dyno guessing 300 to the wheels

[stumbaugh]

Im with Caleb on using Dynospeed Racing. But ive also heard James does a really good job, i will just need to know the date ASAP so i can besure and give my work plenty of notice.

[oxman]

I think we'll try and schedule it in January. I'am about to be working on a calender for next year so everyone will know things well in advance so they can plan for events,meetings,and things we try and do. I'll have it posted probably at the first of the year. :) Im with Caleb on using Dynospeed Racing.
