Does he just delete stuff from the computer like rear o2 egr air? Or does he tune fuel tables according to mods?

$165, he has a form you fill out w/ your mods and tunes accordingly, his website explains the different options on the FAQ page. I think the census is its better than a stock tune but not as good as a dyno tune because of a/f ratio and the car isn't right in front of him. I am happy runs better and no check engine light. Very affordable cause a dyno tune around here is 400-500
but when i do my cam i will get a dyno tune.

yea i just read his page sounds like something I am definitely going to do. It should help by tuning my shift points and deleting 02 egr etc. I will get my pcm sent out tomorrow hopefully.

I just scanned a car last night which had one of his tunes and I must say I am very impressed with it. The long term fuel trims driving around town were great (all within -4.8% to 0% and never any positives).

The only curious thing is the car was running conservative timing at WOT but still picking up some minor KR. The car is suspected of having a problem by the owner so it very well could be some other issue or bad fuel.

So the tune wasn't locked? Do you have EFILive or HPTuners?

I use EFI Live and am not sure what Frost uses when he does the work. It let me scan the car and download the tune file just like any other car I've looked at. I have not opened the tune file yet, the only reason I downloaded it was to see what the timing tables command to help diagnose the car. Not sure at what point a locked pcm would reveal itself but I've not heard of him locking them as it is very inconvenient for the car owner.

On that same token, I would hope his courtesy to leave them unlocked warrants the respect his tunes not be shared without his permission.

Good point, if the tune is locked maybe you can read but not write. I agree with you that his tunes should not be "shared".
