    I Have to many things on my car now and am looking for a tuner in the NE area. I am willing to drive as far up as Connecticut and as far down as southern Virginia

    I am interested too, the previous owner tuned my car with HP Tuner software but I don't know much about it. I have not been able to locate any L67 tuners, all Mustang/Camaro/Vette etc.

    Taking my GP Z7 Turbo to Tune Time Performance in Toms River, New Jersey on Monday Sept. 24th. They have a dyno and have heard they have tuned a number of Turbo GP's. Have been in the same boat as you for quite a while, will let you know how it turns out.

    Spent the day @ Tune Time Performance yesterday and the guys were extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend them for anyone who is looking for a shop on the east coast. Thanks to Matt and Josh for all the work they put in on the car. It was nice meeting fellow forum member Nick who came down to take a look. Here are a couple of photos and a video from the day. My cars numbers I'm sure will not impress a lot of people, but I don't get hooked on the HP#'s I see on paper, I think the Torque is pretty descent through out the pull. Remember, this is my DD and my wife uses the car on occasion. It is not going to the track and all and all, on the street it is pretty fast.

    The numbers - 280 HP / 354 ft lbs Torque / @ 9 lbs of boost

    Good numbers ARF. That car probably feels damn quick with all that torque!
    Careful with just turning the boost up though. If you don't tune your own car or know someone to make changes, chances are you'd go kaboom pretty quick just turning it up to 16.

    ZZP Crate Engine with GTP Rods, GT Head, ST1 Cam, Z7 Turbo Kit, #42 Injectors, Triple Edge Tranny, Fr & R ZZP Plogs with catted Down Pipe, SLP Exhaust. Wanted to go maybe 12 lbs of boost, but I think I should probably step up to #60 Injectors and the larger throttle body. Just running off the waste gate spring now.

    Running HP Tuners on the Mustang MD500 Dynamometer. A bit pricey, $500.00 for the tune, but as long as you don't make any changes to the car, they will retune at no charge. If you make changes it is $150.00 for your next Dyno Tune.

    $500 is about the going rate at a performance shop.

    If a shop is tuning your car, make sure you don't sign anything that says they aren't liable if it blows up.
