Default Tuning W/out Having Car

Does anybody know of a sponsor or anyone that I could UPS my computer to so they could tune it with out having the car? Can that even be done? I was just wondering because I have called everyone in the Albuquerque area and nobody messes with LS1's.Thanks.

Take a look at Texas Speed, Thunder Racing, and several other sponsors do the mail order tune, it may not be exact, but it'll get you pretty close (cost is $150-$350 depending what you want/need done)

What car do you have? I have HPT for 99 F-bodies and C5's.
Wouldn't charge anything to look it over.

since you're looking for a mailorder I would take it to a board sponsor (list on right, most speed shops offer mail order tuning).... Speed Inc, Thunder Racing, Texas Speed & Performance ... all do excellent work....

however... what mods do you have done that you want a tune for? Mail order tunes are hit or miss.... post up your mods... and what you want from a tune... depending on mods a mailorder tune may just be wasted money..... (dyno tune or wideband tune are the only ways I would ever tune a car for performance.... as far as I'm concerned mail orders are only good for tricking emissions and changing predicatable parameters)

I agree, I am going to be driving down my him sometime this summer to have him fix what one of this sites sponsors messed up in tuning my car. I got to talk with him in person briefly a couple years ago and he really knows his stuff!
