I would give Slowhawk a call. He knows his stuff and he is the master of ls1-edit.

Didn't ESP do the first tune? They might charge you as a re-tune instead of a full tune. Every little bit you can save at this point

We can accomodate a tune this Saturday.

Our full dyno tune cost is $525. Includes idle, part throttle ltrims, wot a/f, custom timing, code removal. Any retune thereafter is $250.

Wow, very nice answer showing respect to the original tuner.

Wonder if TTP takes the same high road?

I am trying to go back to eastside but they said there booked for the next few weeks and the thought of my new 408 sitting till then they said call friday to see if anyone canceled for saturday but i think it's probably a long shot. TTP is by far the closest probably about 70 miles from my house, but like i said i will travel some for a top tune. I just want to be able to hit the track once ot twice and if i have to wait 3 or more weeks then i will not realy get to drive my car before he goes to sleep for the winter

Hm... if the shop is booked it means they have a lot of customers because they do good work. I wonder why TTP would be able to get you in so quick?

maybe they want accomidate their customers and are willing to come in early/stay later to make the customer happy. Being booked or not is not a sign of a good shop or bad shop IMO

Matt@ TTP will take good care of you

I kinow of quite a few establishments that are busy but I rarely hear them recommended by others. This relates to a variety of different businesses.

Maybe we are a good shop and thats why we are tuning so many cars \
and Maybe It show that we are a good shop because we have 3 cars set for Sat and its not fair to have to rush their tunes to squeeze a 4th car in
and Maybe you should mind your own business .....
