At the final stage of my engine transplant for the barracuda. Need someone to complete the final tune for the hemi.
The engine is a stroked 485 12.5:1 with dual Edelbrock 750s.

Thanks for the help.

I would say talk to sigman on yellow bullet. he is a hemi guy.

So he should lead you in the right direction.

The Irons if they are still on the board might know someone.

If you don't have the engine in the car and want to run it on an engine dyno,Best Machine would get my vote if they are in your area. If you are doing tuning with the engine installed in the car,Jake's Automotive is probably your best guy.
Depending on where you are,I might be able to help you out with tuning on an engine dyno.
Whoever you call,make sure they are comfortable tuning Edelbrock carbs. A lot of guys just don't like them.
I would think either of the guys I mentioned would be good with them. I actually like them in dual carb applications. It is harder to overcarburate with them compared to a pair of Holley double pump type carbs.
I am sure there are other guys in Michigan too,these are just the two I know I would be comfortable with.

Really? I've never dealt with them myself, but have talked to a lot of guys who have and they seemed very happy. Care to elaborate?
