I just ordered a custom tune and an xcal3 from justin at vmp tuning in florida. he is a very reputable sct tuner.

i should have it by the middle of the week.

i would call him for your tuning needs

A few questions.
What size motor?
Are you sure it was the edge?
Did you make sure everything was well maintained?
Ever put it back to stock programming to make sure?
Did you ever contact edge so they could help you correct the problems?

There's a lot left to be explained when a programmer is being blamed for a lean condition.

I just want to hear the rest of the story that's all.

Why is that? Is the tuners name Wes over there?

You could always find a dyno in your area and get a mail order tune and then go dyno it and send that info to the tuner so he can fine tune it if need be.

Pitbull_Rott · #9 06-28-2010, 05:35 PM

total performance is the worst place to try to get it done just because they charge you an assload for half *** tunes and dynos. not to mention how unorganized that ****in place is. i cant find anyother place down here that will program fords so i still have a stock tune

I havent found a place I like to tune my mustang so I do mail order and fine tune it on a dyno with the tuner. I will probably do that with the f150 too...maybe VMP.

There is a place in Baton Rouge that specializes in mustangs. Not sure what the name of the place is but i have a couple of guys i know that have used them and they swear by this guy.

I got a tune from VMP for my supercharged F-150. Unless you have some weird combination of components, you don't need it dyno tuned.

Stang-hi? If so I wouldn't go there either...he messed up some stuff for me already.

I wouldn't say a dyno tune is needed but it's nice to be able to check the a/f and all and get it dialed in.

Unless you built a race truck then a mail order tune will be plenty. I live in the Northeastern Corner of Louisiana and can't find a dyno anywhere close. The shop mentioned in Baton Rouge is the closest but like stated i've heard negative stuff about them and they only deal with mustangs. I would just call PHP or VMP.
