Tuner in or near Atlanta

Anyone know of any good tuners in GA? I need someone who can help me with the Black car.

Nemesis - Who did you have tuning your car? Do you even have a tuner?

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

Pardon the trolling, but I seem to remember George talking about BATLground alot when he was building the Coug. I know the dyno vid of his was taken there (I have it on my computer).

I also remember him preaching about BATLground and I could simply call him and ask what he thought and maybe he could give me a name but he doesn't always answer his phone. Then I thought, maybe someone else knew of any places around here just so I could have options.

I guess I'll check them out and see what they have to say, of course I do need to be able to get the car to them first but that will come very soon

Thanks guys

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

Call BatlGround, and speak with Matt Ball. Dan did all my tuning on the Cougar....hes a freaking genious. Seriously I wouldnt trust anyone else. Mainstream is primarily Hondas.

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

There are some other options as well that I looked into:

Balanced Performance Motorsports: Your Neighborhood Service Center has been in business for decades and has a good rep. In addition to tuning, they will install aftermarket parts and do regular maintenance. They are experts with Mazdas. I almost went there when I was having tuning trouble, but then I discovered that my CAI was causing my problems.

There was a place called Hypnotic Illusions specializing in the Focus. They tuned with the XCal, but the business went belly up. Dunno if you could track down Wayne and negotiate a deal.

Frankly, it was hard to find a tuner in Atlanta. The best shops were hours away. Why not get a tune from Nautilus?

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

Balanced Performance ****ed me over big time. I went to them a long time ago.... Id hate to see your motor pop


The top shops in Atlanta are TopSpeed and BatlGround.. They are known nationwide. and they are about 15-20 minutes from Atlanta. Do some research and youll see what Im talking about. Google their names and see their accomplishments.

Both Top Speed and BatlGround are known in the EVO/Subaru/Supra/etc community.

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

I think BatlGround is who I'm going to speak to first. They're like 5-10mins from where I work and I drove by on Friday to see where they are. I did look them up and googled their name. They seem to have a pretty good rep and I know they worked on your Cougar so they have at least some experience with the car.

I think I'm going to go by and tell them what I've got, what I want to do and then get their opinion.

Would they do a tune for a SC'er? I'd also have to get an Xcal, which I was planning on eventually, but I'd have to do it relatively soon.

I'm really worried more about the overheating than anything but I think we can take care of that pretty quickly.

You reallllllly dont wanna do that, TRUST ME!!!!!

My black csvt is tuned by Bamachips, Doug did a great job and gained me 6hp and 8tq over hypill's tune. My silver one is tuned and has the prp, but will get re-tuned in October by Joey at Nautilus.

Re: Tuner in or near Atlanta

So it sounds like I need to speak with someone from Nautilus when I'm ready for my tune then huh? They seem to be the place to go.
