    I have a 2014 3.7 mustang with stock efi and 80mm fuel injectors and a single hellion 6765 turbo kit automatic most tuners I have talked too said they only tune the cars that they have installed the kits.
    Thank you

    Give Eric over at Brooksspeed.com a call. He does remote dyno tuning and is among the best in the business for those models (used to work for SCT, now working for HP Tuners updating/creating their Ford databases). Used to do some training classes as well.

    Oh, I forgot to mention he's pretty swamped because he's in high demand but I do know he will recommend a good place if he's unavailable.

    Hey Ken, I got a hold of Eric at one point but he told me he is too busy with his current work at HP tuners to do any remote tuning anymore.

    Just a heads up.

    That's a shame for potential customers, but I guess good for him to be that busy. Was he able to recommend someone out there?

    6 hours away, Danny at DB Performance in Rogers, MN. He would have to schedule an appointment and bring it there. He does good work on a dyno dynamics dyno.

    Best bet is a remote tune, or a mail order tune to at least get a baseline, then drive it to a tuner to have the final touches done.

    When I spoke to him he didn't give me a recommendation for anyone. He did discuss my existing tune with me, and was very helpful even though we didn't really make any progress together on it.

    Ended up just playing with the tune until I figured out what the engine wanted.
