You could also check out Jeremy Formato he's in Tampa... he also goes to Orlando on a regular basis...

I have personally dealt with him on several occasions....and have achieved great results from his tuning...

Then your best bet is to go to a shop with a dyno like precision motorsports in Odessa. Its a 2 hour ride for you, but Dyno tune it for best results

Default You're about 2 hours away.....

Since you're about 2hours away atleast on most any trip.
(It's approx. 120 miles to Boca Raton from Melbourne).

Checkout this recent thread on probably your best alternative with Dan here in Boca:

What modifications do you have? Just what is in your sig? We could do a mail order for that setup that could be turned around in a day for $125 shipped to your door via UPS. No drive, no hassel.

Stock commanded fueling and timing (which are put in their place in light of the Vette)are the two big performance mods in the tune that we can address. Being an A4, putting a "sock" on the Torque Management Cookie Monster will definitely brighten up your day and put a smile on your face. We can also tweak the transmission settings- speed and firm up the shifts.

The A4 4th Gen Fbody really does stand to gain the most benefit from a mail order tune out of the GM family.

Simply put, that nosing over sensation (bog) that you are experiencing during a shift with your stock tune is Torque Mgt. In an attempt to be overly conservative, the stock settings leave most feeling like "Is this really susposed to be a performance car?"

When you send in your pcm we will download all the information from it, compare it to a known stock GM calibration and note any differences and store it in a historical file with associated with you. We will reprogram the pcm starting with a known stock calibration and let you know if there was anything modified previously. You would be amazed at how many of these 4th Generation Fbodys have been previously modified by previous owners and resold as "Yeah, it's stock," with you the unsuspecting new owner not knowing what has gone on inside the programming in the past. Starting out with a known quantity is the best way to start your long path of modification path.
