Tuning in MN

Where is the best place to get the car tuned at in MN, preferably in the Twin Cities and surrounding areas?

DB performance has HPT, and Shane is probably one of the BEST tuners in the state. I am going there next spring to get my car tuned..

I might have to join you there next spring after I get some stuff done to my car during/after winter. Their prices seem pretty reasonable, and if they know their stuff I'm definitely willing to pay it.

last i heard it was around $140/hr for tuning from them, which is more than MAP.. but MAP doesn't have the experience that Shane has..
LSE performance in ramsey is the only other place that i know of that has HPT, and Josh charges $150/hr for tuning, and he's a dick to people unless you own a AWD TT v6

On average, how long does it take to tune our cars completely?

lol i don't post that on MNSC because, all 3 shops are on there and i really don't mean to step on any toes. I have met Josh, hung out with him, been drunk with him.. He is amazing at what he does with tuning, but has personality doesn't make up for that. I have talked to others that feel the same way about him.

MAP is a great shop, they do things for relatively cheap. The guys are always willing to help, but they really don't have much experience with anything other than 4g63's.. Unless the got new people in there since spring. I brought my old cavalier in there for tuning with megasquirt. And really they couldn't get it down.. not everything was there fault, but i ended up spending almost $200 and got absoluetly no where with the tune.

Shane, I have not personally met, but i have seen many of the cars he has tuned. and he is an amazing tuner. And even a personal friend that worked at LSE told me to go ot Shane for tuning.

none of this post was meant to bash any one shop or anything, it is just my opinion.. No one has to follow what i beleive and I would recommend any of the shops if your looking for work to get done, but tuning is a little different


and to the OP, honestly i have no idea how long it would take to tune. I guess it really depends on what mods you have, which stage tune you have, and how many problems come up on the dyno
