Frost in here i believe does mailorder tunes and from what i hear (no personal experiance) hes pretty damn good! Or you can take your ECU to your tunner and have him flash it to something pretty close to what you need

Maybe call Speed inc out of Chicago area. They do mail order tunes and the tuner there does quite a bit of FI. I plan on running my PCM to them to have them load a base flash based on the cam, injectors and turbo kit I'm installing so that I can safely drive it back to them for a dyno tune.

We could surely put together a base mail order tune for you.

The car would need to come for a dyno tune though before much WOT action. I would say if you were not willing to come here for the dyno tune then I would suggest getting a tune from the shop you plan to get tuned at.

We will discount the dyno tune as well if we do the base file.

email larry@speedinc.com or our tuner jim@speedinc.com for any further info

Frost did my tune here in Alaska, all the way from VA. Even with an open loop speed density tune, it required virtually no tweaking!

Who ever is going to do the dyno tune should do the base tune.

I disagree. Base tunes should be used to get the car up and running so you can fix any issues before bringing it to the dyno tuner. It would suck to pay to have your car towed to the shop to find out that some **** is wrong with it and either pay the shop to fix it or tow it back home.

The person doing the dyno tune should provide the base tune. So that way you don't pay twice, most tuners deduct that from the dyno tune. Also most tuners will start from a stock file not off someone elses.

Yes he does. Ed started tuning shortly after the dinosaurs left the planet. FAST CHIPS is the name of his shop. Bob
