Default Remote tuning for a decent price

hello all, im writing this post because im looking for tuner that can tune my car remote for a decent price.
I have a freshly built LM7 that i recently dumped into my 99 TA and am now having trouble finding someone to tune it for less then $750.
That price just seems outrageous to me. I got trifecta to tune my turbo car remote for half that price.

You'd have to have a LOT of specific information about your set up in order for someone to give you a "base tune". Unless you have the ability to log some idle, and driving, events it's going to be impossible to get it completed. WHERE are you at geographically? If you are close enough to someone that has HP Tuners, we can help you! But, again, it comes back to you having enough information on which to build a base tune to start... So... where are you?

Take it back to them. They'd probably tune a n/a car for $120.

To actually have someone "remote tune" your vehicle, you have to have the tuning software and cable yourself in order to datalog what they need to adjust and to flash the new tune back in. If you are merely talking about mail order tuning, well, good luck with that.

Why don't you go back to them if you were happy with the price.

"Remote tune" can be understood in different ways.
1.The tuner logs into your system and does real time tuning.
2.The tuner gets you to send them the information, they make changes and send it back, you upload.
Rinse and repeat til it's what you want.
What is it you want to do?
Being you don't have HPT, I;m not so sure you could do either.

We offer dyno tuning for $700 on OEM ECU's, which makes $750 for a remote tune seem a little crazy.

Also keep in mind you get what you pay for, and depending on who's tuning it you might get a bill for a new engine.
