I heard about him and read this story. How hard is he to get? He seems to be all over the country tuning and teaching classes. First class tuner from what I have read about him

You won't be disappointed by going to SGP. Talk to Mark, he tunes UTECs all the time.

Macellaro has done quite a few UTECs and seems to be the choice DFW needs, as we lack UTEC tuners here in the metroplex. He's not too hard to get a hold of, but as far as availability that's up to his schedule. He returns emails in a timely manner.

you really should upgrade that utec. you have a nice setup going and a nice standalone would make all of that come together quite nicely.

I hear what your saying..Its a 50/50 split with what people say about the UTEC.I honest'y believe in the UTEC to get the job done with out spending another 3G'S to say I have a HKS.I just need a exp tuner that has used the UTEC more then 3 or 4 times with good results.My goal is 6 to 700 WHP and I think I can get it done with what I have.

Did I tell you I was a Veteran making min wage LOL!

+1 I heard some good things about him.

You can also tune the car yourself - street tuning.


edit - If you get a tune from this guy, let me know how that goes.
