I went to Lamotta performance in longwood. He has some guy from superchips do his tuning. My tune from bama made 325 he made 329. Ill admit he got more throughout the curve though.

So I don't plan many more performance mods, the car will be driven daily and I won't be hitting the track too much. I had the car dyno tuned and with my mods I'm getting 405RWHP, how much does that relate to regular HP? I know stock I was at 412.

I know a guy that does a lot of mod motor heads, kind of a friend of a friend, and he says among the performance community Jake has a good rep. I wasn't really thrilled with my experience but he's done a lot of work for my buddies and their results were very good ( rebuilt 1 rear end and 2 trannys). When it comes to mustangs, that guy has got to have seen every combo out there so as far as bolt ons he knows how to get you where you want to go. He's $400 for a dyno tune. I paid $200 because I kept getting jerked around because the guy that does his tuning kept canceling. The guy Kris Starnes I referred to earlier has seen cars pull one number on Lamottas dyno (I think he was actually doing the tuning in this case) and the went to Justin's dyno (VMP) and it showed like 30 more on a baseline pull. Don't quote me on the numbers. Another guy I was talking to with Mach1 with 410s and LTs said he pulled 360 on Justin's dyno, and we both agreed there's no ****ing way that's possible. I'm not trying to tell you where to go, I'm just saying that if you want to know what your car makes take it to Lamotta. If you want a cute dyno sheet to frame and put on the wall like a lot of these plugs out there then go to whoever says they can make you the most power. Whoever you take it to is gonna give you a safe drivable tune and you're gonna MAKE roughly the same power. Look at it from their point of view, it's just another mustang that the driver DIYed all the bolt ons. It's not like we're bringing them a race car on a trailer. Just some food for thought.

x2. Im in Northern NJ and I no theres big daddy performance who specializes in mustangs. I have heard of Mustang Majic but thats the extent of it. For now im going to go with a VMP tune but when i slap a blower or TT i want a dyno tune. Its a toss up between big daddy and Mustang Magic depending on reviews.
