(WI) looking for a reputable tuner

Like title says im looking for a tuner that lives close/near by Lake Geneva area.

Most likely my previous tune can be edited i was told so im not looking to pay for a full tune price, Somewhat cheaper if possible.


Let me know, Thank you.

ebristol is one of the best e85 tuners we have here in wisconsin, you could pm him and see if he would be interested in tuning you. I know that he hasn't wanted to do alot of tuning lately, but he might be up for it.

I want to tell you there is no such thing as a safe 300WHP tune but I rocked 365 for so dang long with no problems I even sold the car WITH the tune on it out of confidence. That said, your engine is an LSJ...so I am not as confident with 300WHP, the supercharger would be eating up crank horsepower to make that...thus actually be putting out WAY more power, a dangerous proposition.

I do have HP Tuners, I do tuning professionally at diesel shows/dyno/truck pulls and things of that nature. I recently moved back to Wisconsin. If your willing to come to Van Dyne I'll look at your tune and we can bump the maps a little at a time until your comfortable with what you have. I will not put a tune on your car that endangers the engine, so I'd like to look at your plugs, scope the engine to have a look at the pistons and cylinder walls, that's about it. Like I said, I don't play around when the power starts going way up.

Feel free to PM me.

I actually can do a remote tune thru a very reputable guy in another state but i would have to go to his guy down in Chicago and thats too far of a drive for me. So if there was a easier way to do a remote tune thru him id be so down.
