The guy called me back and said he was building a tune and would be here at 3 tmrw and would give me 2 hours of street driving tuning. So i guess i can't complain and then the next weekend he will dial it all in. i just need a tune to get me from point A to point B. No WOT tune.

Not very good. Had alot of issues. He didn't charge me anything other than for the EFI Live credit. For one my throttle keeps hanging up and IDK how to adjust the length of the cable. 2. I didn't have a wide band and we tried to tune off o2 sensors in the front. Ordering the wide band as we speak. And he is calling his buddy to get a base tune to start with and work from there. He only had 2-3 hours to give me and the majority of the time we tried to fix the throttle issues. Its not the TB blade. It's the actual cable. Wish I knew someone who had a tune and could forward me theres to pop on and adjust from there.

What kind of tuner shows up to a tune a car with mods like your without a wideband?

I'm curious what makes you think your throttle is hanging, what throttle cable do you have in the car? The reason i ask is you have an untuned car with a much larger TB on it now, the airflow tables in your stock tune are deigned around the stock TB, and will cause the throttle to "hang" with your now much larger TB, the tune will fix this

Why not just take it to doc?

He didn't want to come at all without a wideband but tried to get it up and moving. My buddy was suppose to bring me his wideband but couldn't make it. Thats why I ordered my own the same day. Not the tuners fault at all. My fault. And the throttle has us all stumped. I haven't had time to mess with it yet though. Will when it comes Sunday. And I spoke with EFI. Didn't really wanna mess with a Speed Density tune it sounded like.
