im looking at getting a tune but i wasnt sure if im suppose to buy the tune first then send my ecm in or just send it in and when he gets it he tunes it and when its done i buy it and he sends it back.

thanks

Send him a email or pm him from here on ls1tech. That's what I did when I got mine, then he tells you exactly how to do it.

Don't do mail order tunes. Take it to a shop... The results are night and day different.

i did and i got an auto response, and its a temp tune to break in engine and clutch, i plan on getting a full dyno tune when the cars complete

ToxicWS6

did u just mail urs in or did u buy it first?

sleepinghawk

I mailed it in. My hawk at the time was my DD so just went without it for about a week. I also first had it dyoed when the gears went in and new axles. Then I finished everything else I wanted to do and sent it to Frost. Had no problems and was very happy with the way he set it up for me!

ToxicWS6

ok cool, ill be sending mine in on lunch tomm then, and yeah mine is my DD but i got a truck i can drive while its down, it was going to be down this weekend anyway when i swap the engine in so. glad your happy with it, ive heard good things about frost and hes only 45 mins away from me so im hoping i can go to him for a full dyno tune when everything is said and done

I've had 2...header /duals...one tune.....gears / intake second tune. No need for a dyno just to correct minor air to fuel ratios for headers, increasing line pressure, deleting codes. He does a really good job.

Honestly for a bolt on car its ridiculously easy to tune. I was considering one for my car with the mods it has, not really worth paying $500 for 10-15whp or whatever it is. Now if we were talking 20-30whp i wouldn't mind. Ill probably just get a street tune.

ToxicWS6

well ive had a dyno tune done like 2 years ago for most my bolt ons but after this engines in and all i need something ot get it up and running to break clutch in and drive around till i get more money saved up, im running a turbo kit on it and plan on puttin about 15psi on it and aiming for 800rwhp when all said and done, then im going to go up there and get a speed density dyno tune

sleepinghawk

You and I must be close cause that's about the same distance for me. Yup, very pleased with it!

ToxicWS6

iam assuming ur in fredericksburg, ur about the same distance from him if u go north lol, im about 45mins from Richmond to the east lol

I couldn't agree more. There is no need for a full $450-$550 dyno tune for simple bolt ons. Only minor tweaks are needed to smooth everything out.

Frost is very fast turn around, and knows his stuff. Had 2 tunes with him already now.
