Looking to tune the stang. Preferrably a Predator tuner, since I'm presently using that. Any recommendations would be appreciated, except for race related. Had/have problems with them.
Thanks

Tell me what you think of the place after you hit it up. Do they use predator stuff to tune? I want a dyno tune
As long as I know the shop is actually at the address of thier website, I'll go there. That race related place is in limbo i guess. I made an appointment with them, looked at hteir directions on the internet. Tried to get thier 1/2 hour early. Drove around for an hour easy, called but no answer, asked all kinds of people at stores and places around where the shop was supposed to be, and they all said "it's at that address." but it wasn't. Nothing but an empty building.

They do use the Diablo stuff. I have the Predator for my car also. Coastal is at the address that is on the website. Its pretty easy to find. I drove out to see if I could find the place. I have an appointment this Weds at 2pm to get a tune for my Cobra

heres a link to almost every mustang shop in the tampa bay area

http://www.tamparacing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=241041

as for race related. when you go to the shop they are the last bay door at that address. when you drive in the warehouse parking lot go strait back. their is no sign just look for the modded cars parked out front.

Well I had an appointment with them, 2 weeks in advance and confirmed days before the appointment. There were no cars there, no answer on the phone or answering machine to leave a message. What's with no sign. How are you supposed to know where it is. It should say on the website to just go to the last bay door on the right, wait hours to see if anyone is gonna show up for work to tune your car on the day and time of your appointment and then when you try to follow up with them to see what happened don't expect any response cause you won't get one. Still pissed about that one, in case you cant' tell.
Thanks for the link Figment.
Coastal sounds like a good place to go. I'll give them a call. And nice car BTW FEARNO1.

Don is a upstanding guy and he has a New Dynojet 224X down there . He has tuned for years on a Mustang Dyno , So From the experience of using both he knows what the differences are for both . It is easier to go from tuning on a Mustang Dyno and then start tuning on a dynojet.

Right now Dyno Pulls are 2 pulls for 60.00 A/F is 15.00 .

He can price it by the hour also .

As for tuning. He charges 250.00 hr , that covers tuning and dyno time . Most tunes are completed in a hour.

05 Mustangs and Ford GT's are 350.00 and hour , as they are quite picky and take more time. But he is getting killer results from the 05-06 Mustangs.

If you have a SCT or Diablo chip or flasher , then you can get a good tune for killer money.

He is also a SCT Dyno Dealer as well as Diablosport and Sniper .

They are going full swing with alot of new 2005-06 Mustang Suspension parts , so that will become the new specialty . as well as our 4V swap cars that they do .

If you have questions feel free to call Don or Matt down there and they will help you out . If you have any outstanding questions or need some kind of explanation about something you may have heard , by all means call him.
