Custom tuners, like many other aspects of high-performance Ford culture, are not a “one size fits all” solution. There’s really no single “best tuner” for every setup – but there are plenty of awesome tuners (and of course, a few crappy ones) out there. For over a decade, we at Lethal Performance have run Lund Racing tunes on every one of our shop vehicles, and they’ve consistently gone above and beyond – squeezing out record-setting horsepower on the dyno and at the track.
Now, with The Tune Shop at Lethal Performance, we’ve created a one-stop destination for all your custom tuning needs, from supercharged Mustang GTs to modded F150s (and everything in between). We’ve hand-picked the best tuners in the industry – including Lund Racing, Palm Beach Dyno, Shoemaker Performance, Ortiz Performance, Oz Tuning, and 5 Star Tuning – and brought them all together in one place. The Tune Shop allows you to choose your preferred tuner while buying both your tunes and your parts from a trusted, enthusiast-run source.
When you flash a custom tune onto your vehicle, you’re basically telling your car’s computer it’s time to unleash the beast. By reconfiguring the parameters of your stock engine calibration, a tune can unlock serious power and take your performance to the next level.
This isn’t just about squeezing out horsepower on a stock car – it’s absolutely critical if you’ve made aftermarket modifications. Bolt on a cold air intake, headers, or especially a supercharger/turbo, and your factory ECU settings just won’t cut it.
Without a proper tune, those mods can actually upset your air/fuel ratios and timing, leading to suboptimal performance or even engine damage in the worst case.
That’s where our custom tuners in The Tune Shop come in. Using years of experience and data, they calibrate your ECU to work in perfect harmony with your build. The result is maximum power, optimal drivability, and rock-solid reliability – basically, your car will run at peak performance without sacrificing safety.
After purchasing a tune, you’ll work with the tuner (often via datalogs) to fine-tune your calibration. Most of our tuners include free revisions to make sure you’re 100% dialed in.

Lund Racing has long been at the forefront of Ford performance tuning. They’ve tuned thousands of vehicles worldwide – from basic bolt-on builds to 1000+ rear-wheel horsepower monsters – and have a reputation for pushing late-model Mustangs and Shelbys to record-breaking results. In fact, Lund Racing holds countless records and firsts; they were the first to crack the 6-second quarter-mile barrier with a Ford 6R80 automatic transmission, piloting their “Grey Goose” project car to a staggering 6.83@205 MPH in the ¼ mile. It’s no wonder many consider Lund the kings of the 6R80 – their expertise in tuning Ford’s potent 5.0L Coyote and supercharged 5.8L/5.2L engines (in GT500s) is second to none.
What really sets Lund Racing apart is their relentless pursuit of performance combined with reliability. Lund tunes are known for making huge power safely. They specialize in 2011+ Mustang GT, BOSS, GT350, GT500 and other late-model Ford platforms, and their team collectively has decades of calibration experience. When you purchase a Lund custom tune, you’re not just getting a file – you’re joining a family of enthusiasts. Lund’s customer support and revision process are industry-leading; they treat each customer’s car as if it were their own build.
Don’t just take our word for it: we’ve trusted Lund Racing on every in-house Lethal Performance project for over 10 years, and those tunes have powered us to personal bests both on the dyno and down the drag strip. If you want a proven tune from the record-holders, Lund Racing is a top choice to unlock your ride’s full potential.
Home of renowned tuner Ken Bjonnes, Palm Beach Dyno (PBD) has quickly become a powerhouse in the late-model Ford tuning scene . Ken founded PBD in 2016, bringing with him over 20 years of EFI tuning experience – he was around when SCT first launched in 2004 and even did development work at DiabloSport, not to mention serving as a key tuner at Lund Racing before starting PBD . In other words, Palm Beach Dyno’s expertise runs deep. They are South Florida-based and have tuned everything from 1,000+HP Shelby GT500s to F-150s and Mustangs all over the world. PBD strives to stay on the leading edge of tuning and performance, and they go above and beyond to support their customers (including ours here at Lethal) every step of the way .
Palm Beach Dyno is perhaps most famous for their work on the 2020+ Shelby GT500 platform – they’ve been outright magicians with Ford’s modern Predator-powered beast. PBD’s own development GT500 (nicknamed the “CX1100” package) put down over 1,100 horsepower and blasted through the quartermile in just 9.3 seconds at ~155 MPH , far quicker than the stock car’s 10.7-second capability. Every time PBD hits the track, they seem to set a new personal best, always chasing the next milestone . That kind of passion and continuous improvement is what defines Palm Beach Dyno’s tuning philosophy. They also handle huge volume – on the order of 400+ cars tuned per month – giving them an unparalleled wealth of tuning data and experience to draw from . Whether you drive a new GT500, a Coyote Mustang, a boosted F-150 or anything in between, Palm Beach Dyno has likely seen a combo like yours and knows how to make it scream. With PBD, you’re getting cutting-edge calibrations, track-proven results, and a tuner that truly lives and breathes Ford performance.
Fun fact: Palm Beach Dyno has a full state-of-the-art facility in Florida where they not only remote-tune customer cars worldwide but also offer in-house dyno tuning, complete turn-key vehicle builds, and even remote trackside support for racers. Who better to build and tune your car than the people setting the records?
When it comes to tuning personality and pedigree, Shoemaker Performance brings both in spades. Helmed by Rob “The Tunemaker” Shoemaker, this outfit has earned a reputation for both fun and performance. Rob isn’t just a charismatic nickname – he’s a highly accomplished tuner with over a decade of experience extracting maximum performance from Ford engines . In fact, Rob has multiple 1/4-mile records under his belt from tuning various Mustang builds over the years . He’s especially renowned for his mastery of the modern Coyote V8 and EcoBoost platforms, making him a perfect addition to The Tune Shop for Mustang GT, Shelby GT500, F-150, and EcoBoost owners alike.
What can you expect from a Shoemaker tune? In short: a thrilling ride that still retains daily-driver manners. Rob has a knack for squeezing out every bit of power whether you’re all-motor or running serious boost, yet keeping the car streetable and enjoyable. He can tune using whichever device you prefer (SCT or HP Tuners) and is always up-to-date with the latest tech – for instance, Shoemaker Performance was among the first to experiment with new multi-tune technology and ghost-cam idle features on the newest Mustang platforms . (Ever wanted that aggressive cammed idle sound on a stock cam? Rob’s got you covered!). Perhaps just as important, Rob brings an enthusiast’s energy to the process – he’s the kind of guy who says “Make every day Taco Tuesday!” when it comes to enjoying your ride.
In other words, tuning with “The Tunemaker” is an experience, not just a transaction. We’re excited to have Shoemaker Performance back in the Lethal family, ready to write you a custom tune that’ll have your Ford performing at its peak and put a huge grin on your face every time you hit the throttle..
With over 15 years of experience in the tuning game, Ortiz Performance brings a wealth of knowledge to The Tune Shop . Ortiz started in the mid-2000s tuning everything from V6 Mustangs and 2V/4V 4.6L GTs, and over the years they’ve expanded to over 30 different Ford models, tuning thousands of customer cars across the globe . This means whether you’ve got a classic S197 3-valve or the latest 5.0 Coyote, an EcoBoost SUV or anything in between, chances are Ortiz has tuned it. They were also one of the pioneers of the “ghost cam” idle – being among the first to develop a successful daily-driver-safe ghost cam tune that gives newer Mustangs that old-school cammed rumble at idle . Innovation and custom touches like that are a hallmark of Ortiz Performance.
Ortiz’s tuning philosophy centers on delivering real-world performance with reliability. They have a very comprehensive, customer-centric approach: for example, Ortiz offers tiered tuning packages that grow with your mod list, and they include things like transmission tuning by default (because when you pay for a tune, you should get the whole vehicle dialed in, not just the engine) . Free revisions are part of the deal for the duration of your tier, and if you upgrade beyond it, you can just pay the difference to move up – a nice touch that ensures you’re never paying twice for the same work.
At the end of the day, Ortiz Performance is about making your car faster and your driving experience better. They’ve proven their chops with plenty of customer cars running deep into the 10-second quarter-mile range naturally aspirated (and even quicker on boost) thanks to Ortiz tunes . Yet they always keep reliability and safety in mind, refusing to cut corners or disable important safeguards. If you want a tuner who’s seen it all, can tune almost any Ford you throw at them, and will give you honest, effective calibrations (and maybe a choppy idle for fun), Ortiz Performance is a fantastic choice.
When you hear “Oz Tuning”, think Wizard of Oz, because these guys work magic on Coyotes – especially F-150s and late-model Mustang GTs. Oz Tuning specializes in the Ford Coyote platform (both trucks and Mustangs) and is responsible for some of the fastest Coyote-powered vehicles in the country . What really makes Oz unique is their Alpha and Omega tuning strategy. With their specialty Alpha & Omega tunes, Oz can get you dialed in for maximum performance on multiple fuels and octanes without needing to constantly swap calibrations . In fact, as they like to say, there’s “no need to change maps for whatever fuel you run in the car” – their tunes can accommodate everything from pump 91/93 octane to ethanol blends for the ultimate power, giving you flexibility in one package . It’s almost like having two tunes in one: Alpha might serve your daily needs or lower-octane fuel, and Omega is the all-out performance mode – however you use it, Oz’s calibrations cover the full spectrum from tame to wild (hence “from Alpha to Omega”).
Beyond the clever naming, Oz Tuning’s results speak volumes. They’ve consistently proven their tuning prowess with Coyote 5.0s running jaw-dropping times at the strip and putting down big dyno numbers, all while maintaining the drivability that truck and street car owners need. Oz uses both SCT and HP Tuners software, so whether you have an X4/BDX handheld or an RTD/MPVI device, they’ve got you covered . The team at Oz are true enthusiasts (with 15+ years of calibration experience) who pride themselves on customer service – they’ll help advise on your build, answer questions, and ensure you get the most out of your setup . If you’re looking to transform your F-150 or Mustang with a tune that can adapt from your work commute to the drag strip, Oz Tuning might just have the magic tune you need. As their involvement in The Tune Shop shows, we only partner with the best – and Oz Tuning’s reputation for powerful, versatile tunes is well deserved.
5 Star Tuning brings a broad and impressive resume to The Tune Shop. This family-owned operation out of South Carolina has been tuning vehicles since the mid-2000s (founded in 2004) and has grown into one of the most versatile Ford tuning outfits around . They tune a huge variety of Ford cars and trucks – from Mustang Coyotes and EcoBoosts, to F-150s and Super Duty diesels, and even big Class A and C RVs and motorhomes ! (Yes, you read that right – 5 Star has tunes for RVs. Ever seen an RV at the drag strip? Maybe not, but if you did, there’s a good chance 5 Star tuned it. ) In all seriousness, their ability to improve towing performance, fuel economy, and throttle response in heavy trucks and motorhomes in addition to cranking up the power in sports cars is a testament to their expertise.
Despite their wide scope, 5 Star Tuning is by no means new to hardcore performance – they’ve been an SCT dealer/tuner for decades and know the Ford ECU inside and out. What customers love about 5 Star is their personal touch and flexibility. Being a family business, they take customer service seriously and are happy to consult with you on what tune best fits your needs (be it better towing torque for your F-350 or max horsepower for your Mustang). They offer both remote mail-order tuning and in-house dyno tuning at their South Carolina facility, giving you options on how to get your vehicle dialed in . If you can’t make the trip, their remote tunes will have you covered; if you want to see numbers on the dyno, you can schedule a visit for a custom session. 5 Star tunes gas and diesel engines alike – so whether your Ford runs on pump gas, E85, or diesel, they likely have a solution. Their tunes often yield noticeably improved drivability, more horsepower and torque, better shifting, and even gains in fuel efficiency for the heavy haulers. They’ve accumulated a huge following in the truck and RV communities for waking up those engines while maintaining reliability (they even offer warranty options on some of their RV tunes ).
In short, 5 Star Tuning lives up to its name by delivering top-notch calibrations for pretty much every Ford on (or off) the road. If you want decades of experience and the comfort of working with a friendly, passionate team that can tune anything from a Mustang to a motorhome, 5 Star is a stellar choice.
