Re: any tpi tuners near st louis

My buddy has the same issue..... He had a chip burnt from some company out of Texas?? ran the tune for a month then checked the timing and found it to be at 42' advanced!!! multiple better choices out there than the OBD1 system used on the TPI, If I recall properly you can use a 96-97?? Chevy truck ECM and computer....Blue and white connectors???? on the batch firing TPI system . You need to eliminate the VATS system and BINGO!!! OBDII witn the TPI.

Just a suggestion as I'm not sure of any OBDI tuners in the area

Re: any tpi tuners near st louis

I used a company when I lived there. It was based out of Festus and was called Redline Performance Motorsports. Tim, one of their associates there did a wide band tune on my car after I had a bigger cam installed and did a wonderful job.
I don't know if Redline Performance is still in business. But Tim is a member on here, goes by the user name 11sorbust. You maybe able to contact him and see if he can help you.

I remember when Tim burned his first PROM using my equipment lol.
Yeah I don't think Tim is around much any more.
Redline is now CBI and further south since Andy quit a long time ago.

Re: any tpi tuners near st louis

I was just going to say Redline was 8n Festus & did some work on my car (lowering springs I bought from you & other stuff) but their hours were down to two days a week & have not seen anything going on there. I think they are done. When you find someone let me know. There is a guy off Hampton who does work like that but I don't have his info, I'd have to call a buddy & get it.

I called PBJ on Hampton a while back about tuning my car and was told they only do OBDII cars

Re: any tpi tuners near st louis

That's what worries me about doing a tpi setup on this 91 RS. Seems nobody has the software for this old of technology hear in St Louis.
