I am awaiting my boost a pump and looking to get a dyno tune from a reputable shop in my area (Ny, Nj, Pa). I really wanted a dyno tune, but is VMP really almost spot on? They specialize in roush's and this is what is making me think twice about them over a dyno tune. I right now have a JDM email tune (went with JDM over vmp cause JDM is 45mins away) but JDM doesnt tune for the BAP and only use gt500 fuel systems. I have heard more great things about VMP over JDM, but than I have to deal with the whole dyno check and datalogging crap which is why I wanted a dyno tune.

Anyone ever used Tillman speed, Evolution performance, or mustang magic? I called Tillman and he is trying to get me in for next saturday but I have yet to call Evolution or Mustang magic. Any suggestions? I want to get this done right!!

I also have a friend on facebook with a vortech supercharged 2010 who went to mustang magic and LOVES them. He says they know exactly what theyre doing and hasnt had a problem with their tune yet. Any word on them?

I have a 2010 Gt auto. with a roush m90 supercharger, 2.55" pulley, Kenne Bell BAP, Pypes longtubes, offroad x pipe, borla mufflers, and 4.10 gears.

I called sansone and they told me their tuner was on vacation this week, and I really cant wait that long. They also told me it was $600+ for a dyno tune when most other places are like $500. Not that the $100 is making me not go there, but the car is my DD and I need something sooner

I left a message at mustang magic. But why do alot of people bash them and call them mustang tragic? Are there really that many horror stories from them?

Why have they been in business for 21 years? That's the question you should be asking. Go there and speak with Joey. Make your own decision.
btw they are closed on Mondays.

btw most blower cars go with 3.73's. You are going to be blowing the tires off on every shift with the 4.10's:evil: (even with an automatic) :awesomework:

haters always have a comment...esp ones who go to rival shops

ive gone to a few shops with several different cars, never had a single complaint about MMagic and go back there often

btw off hand MMagic works on the fastest terminator and fastest Mach1 in the area...i cant think of anyone faster and still keep their "street ability/manners"

+5 go to Mustang Magic, i have heard some great things about them and any horror stories are all trivial things as far as i am concerned. I know w bunch of people here have gone to them and have had some great things to say to them

I have never heard of a single business that has not had complaints or made mistakes so I guess it is all up to you. The one thing I have heard that is awesome from VMP is the auto trans tuning, his own 2011 is in the 9's and one of the fastest stock coyote powered cars. BUT he tends to be slow according to some so you may just want to get it done locally. My friend has had Jon Lund tunes on both his GT500 and the A/F was spot on when dynoed and both make great power via an email tune. A lot of good tuners out there, just go with who you prefer because for the most part it is all a personal preference thing to who THEY like like said above. I tune my own car so I don't have to worry about it lol.

Well guys I am booked for 130pm on saturday for mustang magic!!!!!! I thought about it and realized, hey wouldnt they go out of business if they were bad? Every shop has horror stories, some are just more publicized than others. I have a friend with a 2010 who lovessssss mustang magic and his friend with a cobra loves their tune as well. I love my JDM trans tune, but I'm sure Joe's will be just as good. I will post back with my dyno runs and my experience with Mustang Magic!!! Cant wait to get my baby running right.
