Does anybody knows a place to tune my MCS in Northern Virginia

I have a 2005 MCS with few mods:

-Alta header (with cat)
-Alta exhaust
-15% pulley
-Cold Air Intake
-MSD, wires and spark plugs
-Engine mounts

I am planning on adding an intercooler and some other mods later, but I think is time to let loose the additional horses by tunning the ECU. The only place I know around here is Funktion Auto. I called them this morning but they do not do it.

Does anybody knows where can I get a custom tune around here?

I know I can send the ECU to Mini-Mania or other places, but I would like a custum tune.

Your welcome to come to Atlanta, I know it's a drive but we can do it.

But if your planning on doing more mods you'd be better off to wait cause once you add a mod you more than likely will have to retune the car. Otherwise you could risk running too lean, because a custom tune it made for however the car is when you tune it.

If you want to go to Maryland, Behe was doing Mini tunes. (formerly LDG). I hit them on a drive back from VA on my way north.

I got a bench tune from them, but you might want to call and see if they still do customer tunes.

WayMotorWorks,
What other mods do you recommend doing before getting to the ECU?

I can do the work for you, but my schedule is a little crazy. Call me if you're interested. 703 774 6678
Also, MachV is near Dulles mall and they do a lot of work on MINIs.
Here's their site... http://www.fastmini.net/

Also, MachV has an on-site dyno for tuning. Sorry, forgot to mention that!
