Default Mail order tune with Cam?

Wanting to have some opinions of this?

Just installed my TSP 228R and I would love to just do a mail order if possible

I was going to go through tsp for the mail order as well since I figured they would know the most about their cam.. what do you guys think?

any opinions would be appreciated

They can get you set good also, you can also do a mail order tune from Frost Tune.

Where are you located? I messed up jumping the gun for my mail order. I found a local dyno that would do a mail order for free to eventually do a real dyno with them. I could have saved my self $200. Look around first.

I had my 228r mail order tuned and I could not stand all of the little imperfections it had (dieing sometimes, idle hunting, surging, etc.) so I bought HP Tuners and started from scratch with a stock tune to get it right. My car is a 98 and the 99+ seem to be a little more forgiving in the PCM, but I would definitely recommend a good street tune if you plan on 99% street driving your car.

If you send it to frost.. I would trust the tune to turn out good. It isn't a dyno tune by no means.. but he is the best Mail order tuner for our cars.
