Default FordSpeed or Ramseys?

I really want to get a dyno tune on my 94 GT, and I've narrowed my choices down to Fordspeed and Ramsey's. I've been told both of them are SCT dealers.

I'd like to know which one you guys recommend and why. Also does anyone know what their rates are and prices for reburns?

Only experience I have with FordSpeed is when I dyno'd my car there back in January. Didn't have any work done but Joe seemed to really know his stuff and I know Rob has a rep as a hell of an engine builder.

I don't know much about Ramsey's but I figure they're worth a call right?

Is Ramsey's really that expensive?

That sucks if they are because sometime down the road I will be needing a dyno tune as well and Ramsey's was up at the top of that list.

Id personally go to Race related, but thats just me. I Know ramseys has scammed a few people i know in the past. And fordspeed has both a good/bad rep with some of the members of this board.

I used Ramseys for the work on my car. he charged me 100/hr for dyno tune, but that was 1 1/2 yrs ago. Denise Ramsey does good work. I had Sam @ Coastal run my car for a baseline. I have talked to several mustang owners who have used both and all seem happy. I chose Ramseys because they were 1 mile from where i work.

Search all of the shops on the mustang boards, you will know which one to choose then.
