I'm just wondering if there are any tuners near Iowa?

I've had the car dyno'd and had a chance to get it tuned by a guy that was flown in, but the money wasn't there at the time. I'd like to find a place relatively close because I plan on building the car more this winter.

The car made 501whp and ran 11.8 but the MPH doesn't seem to be there. Best trap was 119... I'm told I should be near mid 120-s.

I have a Lund tune and am only on 15psi with a ported Eaton.

TIA!

What kind of car? Ported eaton could mean a number of different cars.

Where do you live in Iowa? If you are on the east side I would go to Anderson ford by Peoria.

Sorry, I guess I should update my Sig.
Car is an 04 Cobra.

I'll check in to Anderson... Do they have a dyno?
I'm in Cedar Rapids, so not too far away.
Thanks.

They have a custom mod shop/dyno and have been doing this for over 20 yrs. they are located in Clinton, IL just outside of Peoria. Their website might be something like Anderson motorsports.

I've been directed towards Tim Barth at ? Norm's in Rock Island as well.
I'm told they are more familiar with the mod motors.

Never heard of that shop. I would ask for references.

It would be great if they were good. Closer than Peoria.

I was recommended by a friend with a lot of knowledge about these cars.

I also heard a few people with not so great experiences at the other place.

Good to know. Keep us posted on your outcome. I would much rather drive to the quad cities.

I goggled him and he does have very positive reviews
