Default Anyone email tuned?

I was looking at Ion's website. I have one of AKM's cables. So I'm thinking about a email tune, as its $50 cheaper. Reading the FAQ on his page says links will be provided for the program to load the tune. Is there a cost for this program though?? So if anyone here has used a email tune, please let me know if there is any other cost if I already have the cable. If there is I might as well just mail it out.

I used a mail order tune from Ion, and found it quite acceptable. For my turbo application, it was a good base tune. For you, it might be all you need.
What he will provide you is a link to tunercat.com, which has a very small charge for things such as the application, definition files and such. Certaiinly not the outrageous charges and VIN locking that the greedy OBDII tuners are doing.

Yeah checked out the price on tuner cats, and the definition file. I might as well just mail it in, instead of risking me messing something up while loading the tune. I'm sure shipping isn't brutal, there ends up not being a price difference really.

So I mailed it out yesterday. Decided that was the best route instead of me screwing with it.

I forgot on my order form to list that I had a CAI and a LT4 KM, does that matter, or do you figure with a 58mm TB he will just assume it has a CAI? Perhaps this doesn't matter much? I wonder if the LT4 KM shows up when you go to tune it?
