After my experience with a handheld, mail-order(non-dyno tune) and an experienced professional dyno tune I learned this: DYNO TUNE by a professional with a great reputation, like williamsperformance.net. Cost me $300!!! It was worth double that! I wasted money on hand held(lost over $100 after I sold it) another $100 for a basic tune which was not only useless but screwed up things. Suck it up and see Nick Williams for $300. I sat right in front of the dyno and PC watching and recording on video, everything they did. They had nothing to hide and were more than happy to spend the time to make ME, the customer, happy! I have the vids on www.youtube.com/user/ashevillestreetrods. 315rwhp and 332rwtq with a slowmaster, stock y-pipe and shorties! Imagine what I have with a real exhaust! Excellent A4 tune as well; the car spins sideways in second and third will still push your head back! Come take a ride!

Hey Shaw,

Did you receive my email regarding my tune problems the other day? I was
hoping we could resolve this? Maybe split the difference? Say $50 refund?
Between the tune and the dyno I had a real bad day. I think I have been more
than fair here. Put yourself in my situation. Atleast let me know you have rec'd
my e-mails.
