Default help with tune

i did a tune through pcm for less. and i am just about fed up with all the bs that is with my car. i spent enough on it and now i just want to get it on a dyno and let them in person dick with it. does anyone know where a place that dynotunes in or with 5 hours driving time of 67601, KS. i spent enough on it and figure that if i wanna get the power out of it what i paid for i need someone that knows what they are doing with tuning.

I know Alvin and Bryan personally. They both are very good at what they do. Are you sure you dont have issues with your car that cant be cured with a tune? I see it all the time. Had one in just a day or two ago. And doing mail order tunes, they have no control over your vehicle, and arent able to diagnose problems unrelated to tuning.

^^that is why i dont like mail order tunes....unless you live in the sticks and have no access to drive your car after a major overhaul, you shouldnt do it....

you cant account for everyday things that go into a cars tuning buy just sending someone a list and a pcm...hell even dynos arent THEE best tuning pieces....

i really believe in a street tune, being able to hook up wideband...run efi live on your car with a tuner in the passanger seat and just run your car hard on some open roads for a few hours....THAT is what will get the most out of your car

Thats why I dont do mail orders. Most of the time theres nothing wrong with a good mail order tune. Its something in the car.
