Default Tuners in SLC or surrounding areas

I am looking for a tuner in or around SLC, I would like to know who are the good tuners and what they use for tuning. My car is originally tuned on EcuTek and I would like to keep it that way since i already put out the money for the license.

I am only 3-4 hours away from the SLC area and my original tuner (Vishnu) is around 9-10 hours away. So I am looking for somewhere a little closer since I will have to trailer my car.
Thanks Justin

Currently the car is setup on a catted 3" TBE, Fp Green, Power Enterprise 850cc injectors and a Perrin CAI.

The reason for the tune is I have a FMIC setting here and a 38mm External wastegate w/ up pipe on the way. I am also debating on the P & L full straight pipe exhaust but that might be a little much for driving around town.

So how is the best way to contact the above people, do they have shops? Well I know Cobb does but they dont tune EcuTek do they?
Thanks!

Yes Cobb does tune other EM software other than their own; also the tune is done on their mustang dyno. You can call and ask for John Shafer or schedule a tune through Chris there. 801.713.0035

That's lame. I know they prefer their software but talk to the tuner directly and see if he would.

I didn't have a chance to call Cobb today but I am hoping I can get around to it tomorrow.

Is Cobb the only shop in the area that has a dyno? Sorry if its a newb question but i have only been to SLC about 3-4 times and when i had my VW chipped at Streamline they didn't have a dyno.

Also thanks for the help guys! I get my taxes back pretty soon so getting this thing put together the rest of the way is making me impatient.

Depends who does the tune. But yourself can do the flash for the cost of a cable and run just a generic OTS map.

I prefer having my cars dyno tuned with actual numbers not my butt dyno.

I'm not a ECUTEK dealer i've just used it before. John has more experience then me in the tuning world. I think you should probly just goto cobb tuning and they can pre-load your car on the dyno for whatever you are trying to do I just do drag tunes. I want to start doing circuit racing tunes.

But if Cobb will tune OS for you, it will be a quality tune. Go talk to them. ( Or john@cobb on here...... )
