Default Who got a Frost Tune?

I got my PCM back today and there is no paperwork....


How do you know what was done to it? I know I sent in a request form, but wouldn't you expect some kind of invoice that states that what you asked for is was done?

All I got was a PCM in a box with my paypal receipt.

Should try emailing him. When I sent mine off, I didn't get a list of work did, but when I looked on his site, it basically states whats done for bolt on cars and that's all mine was. He did make a note for me to descreen my MAF though. When I do my heads and cam I am getting a dyno and street tune for it. How extensive were your modifications? Frost has a very good reputation. I'm waiting to do a dyno pull and check my A/F ratio before I start doing any WOT pulls.

I had quite a few mods actually...

Heads, Cam, exhaust, injectors, intake, TB....it was a huge list.

I would have expected a reference sheet for peace of mind knowing it wasn't mixed up with someone else ECM etc...

I have had two or three mail orders done by him and they were all pretty good for what they were. But I have never received any paper work for what was done. He kinda likes to keep his work and tuning private from my past experiences with him.

Why dont you just ask him for it, instead of asking the forum, no one here other than him can tell you what was done.

Easier said than done. You must have never dealt with Frost. He doesn't have a phone number and email replies are rare.

I'm just seeing if I'm an exception or the norm. I don't want to know specifics, just something that stated " tuned for xxxxxx"

I just expected something showing that something was done and I didn't get someone else's tune

I got tuned by him & emailed him with a question. He absolutely replied. after emailing him just give him a little breathing room to answer. I am told he is a busy guy and emails come after his work load.

He has a phone number. I have actually called before. When you sent your pcm off, if you used paypal, it should show in the paypal information.

There really isn't much to put other than a copy of your request in the box as 98% of the people getting tunes wouldn't understand what was done anyway.

I received a tune from him but he called to verify every thing I was wanting but it was just a update tune, had a dyno before that though.

Are you having any problems with the car running or driving ? Maybe try emailing him again as he might have been busy with the holidays.I'm sure your tune was done to exactly want you wanted.

I got one not long ago and threw my pcm in and was rewarded with p0131 and p0151. Awesomeness.

Paper work is probably not put in because that would Add TONS of time in the day to workload.

I personally do 30+ tunes a day via mailorder, and for me to put a paper in with the list when sometimes there are hundreds of changes would take for ever to do and would just bring up more questions from the customers on how and why.. It would bring down the number of tunes to 10-15 and would make things a wreck.. So I fully understand why he would not include anything in the box with it. There are just to many things that would have to be put down on the list. Especially for stuff like heads/cam / supercharger stuff..

Put in the computer, if it works, then enjoy it. If it is the wrong pcm it wouldn't start, due to the Vin number and antitheft mismatch, and usually as mail order goes, the customers computer is pulled from the box, worked on, then put right back in the box, it isn't like they all get put in a big pile and hope for the best....

I know with EFIlive it takes about 1 minute to print out what was changed in the PCM. Tuners just don't want you too see what they did or I think in most cases how little they did do.

sure, he could print a change log or something of the sorts, but I'm sure if presented with that people would ask for more once again. And the change log can be faked from the actual. NOT saying it is, but you could.

He is a trustworthy person and has been doing this for years, I spoke with him just as he was getting into this many moons ago. Very knowledgeable and nice guy.

Again, If you give people that don't know anything about anything a list, they question every single thing, that takes time when it should take time... IF something works, and all is good, then it shouldn't matter what is changed.

As for what you say on tuners don't want you to see, that is not valid. 90% of all tuners out there do not lock their computers. If you want to see what is done, buy the software and compare the tune to stock.. It is that simple. However, again, it is to save time. Nothing more...
