garbage, and costs MORE than good options. Lots of custom tuners out there try and find one locally for a 93 since those are a little more hassle than the 94+ stuff.

Wow, they cost $400 new? You can get a dynotune for that amount of cash, and be way happier. If the place you get said dynotune at is really cool, they won't charge much if you change gears, etc. later on either to make the changes needed.

Doesn't matter one for a 96 is WAY different from what a 93 needs, then again what would you expect from someone who was happy with that POS.

Hopefully he can find someone near him to burn chips with a dyno.
I know a guy with a modded TPI car, he finally decided to drive over 1,000 miles to someone that could, as his third tune that was mailed to him still had issues.
Its one of the reasons why I turned down a 93 I was looking at a little while back.
