Do any of you Green Bay guys have any experience with Beyond Redline Performance and their ability to tune the AEM EMS? I'm not aware of their reputation, so any information would be helpful.
Having a little trouble finding someone in the tri-state area that can tune the car.

Luke seems like a good guy and knows quite a bit, but I have heard a few stories second hand, so I can't recommend the 100%.
There is also AMS down in Chicago, if you don't know who they are you haven't really search much for tuners.

I know AMS can tune AEM but they don't have much experiences with 3/Ss. I talked to them once they said that they've only worked on a couple.

Yeah I've heard of AMS. I've heard mixed reviews as well. Beyond Redline is just the one I've heard nothing about, other than recently from someone in PM on 3SI.
I'm trying to get a hold of Niteryder (LSE) on 3SI, because apparently he still does tuning. That'd be ideal. Maybe if other people need tuning around July/August, we could do a dyno/tune day.

If Niteryder is still tuning then I would recommend him as he knows these cars well.

Josh (nitreyder) is still tuning on the side, you might want to try mn3s, I know he was on there the other day. You'll just need to find an dyno for him since LSE is closed.

Yeah he certainly isn't cheap, but, peace of mind is worth a lot to me.
Thank you for the support and responses, everyone.

I had my car worked on by luke many many moons ago while I was still a noobcake.
Luke was very good about getting the car done to my satisfaction, but the work took forever and a day. The price was fairly reasonable. I have also heard stories second hand of work done by Beyond Redline that was questionable, so I did not take my car there for AEM tuning.
I also have AEM in my car. Tuned by LSE before they went under. I trailered the car out there.
The guys at LSE were VERY helpful, did a bit of trouble shooting on my wastegate, and got the car back to me very quickly. The price for them to work on it was also very good comparatively.
However, if you were at the UMG, my car seems to run pig rich under boost, so I may need to have the car re-tuned... or do some investigation myself.
I am also in need of an AEM tuner in northeast wisconsin now... and don't know where to go. If you do hear of anyone else, let me know how your experience went.
Thanks.

Yeah, as it looks right now, I'm going to be hooking up with Josh to get the tune on the car. From what I've heard his tuning sounds excellent, though I certainly don't want to be too rich under boost.
Maybe he was going for a conservative tune with your car, or the relatively cool weather right now has something to do with it? Who the hell knows, ha. In any case, if things do change, and I go with someone else, I'll be sure to give you the heads up. If you do still need a tune adjustment come late July, maybe we can cut a deal with Josh. I'm sure he wouldn't charge you for a full tune if you just need some tweaking under WOT.
