I have a ported Eaton that sounds like it needs a rebuild. After rebuilding it, will there be a reason to retune it, or can I just reinstall the blower and run it?
(possibly thinking of having Stiegemeier rebuild it)
So I've come to find that I will be upgrading to a Gen 2 2.3 Whipple. My question is what size upper pulley should I get? I wanted to shoot for 600WHP, but a friend told me that with the setup I have, I can expect to safely max out at 580WHP.
The mods to my car (engine/tuning related) are:

I'm getting ready for dyno day, and need to swap belt due to the oem style one shredding.
The previous owner had placed this belt on, and I cannot see any markings on it that denote its size.
Does anyone have suggestions for the Gates Green Belt size I should use? For the life of me I can't seem...
So I finally bought a Terminator Cobra, but the car definitely needs to be dyno tuned as the base map tune on the car is not something I want to continue using long term.
Are there any tuning shops near the Columbus, Ohio area that any of you would recommend taking the car too? I am trying to...
I have tuned my car with SCT Pro racer, and just converted my car to E85.
I have full bolt-ons and a ported Eaton with 2.8 upper and 4 lower pulley, making abount 17 psi.
I am woundering how the timing chart should look like, right now I am running the timing chart from SCT on race gas tune...
Hello all,
I have been on the upgrade path with my 2016 Roush supercharged F150, and part of that was looking for a competent tuner to support a pulley swap and a few other odds and ends. This is a brief review of the above listed tuners.

I am the owner and tuner at MPG Performance and Engineering in Lynnwood, Wa. We are located right off I5 on 44th Ave. We utilize all of the latest software and hardware for most fuel injection systems. All of our tuning is done in house on a brand new Dynojet 224X with the latest...
Sup guys,
Been up in the air about tuning and hesistant about who should tune my setup and of course getting a million and one different answers and feedback from people on who I should go with lol.
I heard Kurgan was a solid tuner but I am located in Nor-Cal and he is thousands of miles away...
I did a couple of searches and couldn't find threads addressing these exact questions but if there's a general tuning thread that has tons of FAQs addressed (like the BMR all things suspension thread), by all means, please point me in the right direction.
My car will be out of warranty soon...
Just had the whipple 2.9 front feed with the 132mm elliptical TB on my 14 GT.... did anyone have tuning issues with this TB? What issues, and how were those issues addressed? TIA
I noticed many of us install the same mods... Wonder why nobody has posts mods and said: "Hey, if you have the same, use this tune I copied". Yes, it sounds crazy, but is it really?
I have a 2000 Lightning and need a tune.. a local dyno shop quoted me $550. Just wondering what email tunes or whatever else is out there. Also I have a SCT X4 running a canned tune now. Thanks.
