Tunning?
Looking to purchase the Magnuson S/C, headers and exauhst. Wanting to talk to a tuner before I do this and get some advice. Any ideas on a good tuner? I have heard of Ed Wright, is there anyone in the Atlanta area?

I'm not sure about the Atlanta area, but I'm taking my car in to have similar mods done next week by HESCO in Birmingham. Their website is http://www.hesco.us. I can give you a contact if you're interested in talking with them. I hope to have my car back on 12/20 and will post pictures.

I've done alot of work with Ed Wright and find him to be a very good programmer. He also has a pretty quick turnaround time. I've dropped one of my PCMs off at the local UPS terminal at 6:30 on a Monday night and had it back by 10:30 on Wednesday morning.

Remember, Ed locks the PCM so ONLY he can tune on it. Downside to this is if you need some minor tweaking, a local tuner can NOT help you, your PCM will have to be removed and sent to Ed - trust me, you'll need some more tweaking regardless of who does the tuning. Also, after the S/C installation, a dyno tune is a must.

In my opionon it is very difficult to tune a car not in front of you. Yes it will come out decent and run 85% but usually you will leave Hp on the table. I would find someone in your area with a dyno and have them do it. How far out of Orlando, FL are you. You can go see Mike Norris :seeya
