Default Frost Tune

Havent seen any Frost reviews lately. Shout out to Frost for doing a hell of a job on my mail order tune. He got the PCM and had it done within 2 hours. Great service and my car feels fantastic. A+ service.

Sure is. I used this site for everything
https://www.tunedbyfrost.com/

I did see that there's a new website for EFI and you can actually do everything here too.

Just had 1 done myself. Pulled the ms3pro evo out of my swap and did a custom factory harness. Sent Steve my ecu and had it back in 2 days. Afrs are perfect everywhere, idles great, no cam surge. Ill get it on the dyno soon to optimize timing. Half tempted to drive it down to Virginia to have him do it even though I have a few reputable tuners somewhat local to me in NJ.

I’ve got a Frost tune on my truck and Steve nailed it! I sent the computer to another shop that is highly talked about on here and was not happy at all. Steve even gave me direction on some codes I’m throwing. I’ll definitely be using him again in the future.

I just got a mail order from Frost and everything seems to be good except for the idle goes to hunting about 10 seconds into a cold start. Once I help it by patting the gas it idles fine. It also stumbles after being revved to around 3500 rpm and once the rpm comes back down to idle it stumbles and I have to help it again. So I'm definitely going to have a tuner look into this.
Motor is new and rings haven't even broken in yet.

the ecm self learns idle, best to let it do its thing. If drive by cable make sure your tps voltage is correct.

Had him do my trans am I had with bolt ons twice. Once for the bolt ons, then again for the gears I had installed. Always answered my emails and did a great job for me. Fast turn around also. To my knowledge he is the best.

I had this person do a tune for my LS3 with LSA blower, cam, and injectors. After the 5th tune that was emailed to me, I was basically told to figure it out for myself after the person said they had done literally hundreds of tunes for this type of application.

The car wouldn't even run with the first 2-3 tunes that were sent to me.

It means not only does he tune the ECU's in the cars, he was one of the original dudes to help write the software(Developer) that allows us to tune the ECU's at all. He also was the dude that wrote the software updates that fixed bugs and added new features("patch man", a patch is the name for the software update).

In other words, the dude sees the world like the scrolling number screens in the Matrix.

Ignore my ignorance, but if the tune is spot on, how can it be setting codes? I've never seen a good tune set codes.

Getting a tune isn't just going to magically fix issues with your vehicle.

There are many non tune related codes. Bad sensors, converters, etc.
