I have heard people talk about Nate (former slowboy employee right?) Pat and Ian mentioned him before. I have not heard anything about his experience or anything. Anyone else?

Do you have a wideband?

I'll jump in here...Nate is my personal preference. Done the "Bro" thing...not impressed at all. You couldn't PAY me to let him touch my car. Buschur is supposed to be great on standalone, but last I knew doesn't touch stock ECU. And then there are a bunch of others that are all in that next level. I mean, to be honest, there is only so much that can be done on stock ECU with bolt ons and cams.

Nate is local, and if you have any problems you run back up and he'll take care of you. Yes, I admit he's a bit hard to get ahold of initially, but once you have him he will always be available to you.

If I had another Evo, he's who I'd go to. He is who will be taking care of the GSX - no question. Good tuner, good guy.

If anyone wants me to see what he would do for a group rate, let me know. I don't even know where he is tuning now - last I hear he was tuning back at Slowboy. Some of you may not like Slowboy or maybe don't like the Dynapacks...but as Dan said - Dyno number doesn't mean ****...What are you running at the track?? Are you happier when you leave the tune than when you went in??

My $.02, but no one could convince me to go to anyone but Nate. Yes, I'd go with a group to a dyno just so I could jump on and compare what my numbers on the same day with everyone else and to have a fun roadtrip, but tuning - no one but Nate.

Well I'm not trying to sway anyone to do anything - just my $.02

If you all decide you want me to get ahold of him, someone let me know.

Well I have some print outs when I went to Chad's to just get some runs in for a baseline and at 6600 I was in the 11.7 range.

I don't have a preference....I just want to get the most out of my set-up with a
margin of safety. I would really like to try and get on a mustang dyno only cause
that's what my baseline numbers are from and I want to see my gains.....I could
care less about the overall number but I don't care about improving. Denny could
you talk to Nate and see what he would do for a group rate. Maybe see if he knows
of any awd mustangs around there area.

I can find out about a rate, but there aren't any AWD Mustangs around...You would still need to head out east for that. Might still be worth it for you guys to just have them tune it out there. I understand the desire to have a before and after number! LOL
