Not to hijack... but does it really matter what we use? I mean seriously... if your car performs like it should after it's tuned, it doesn't matter if I tuned it with an autozone scanner... just as long as the customer is happy.

Btw...I use a Toshiba laptop..will that effect the tune also?

I have no idea WTF They Use at Southern Speed, but Paul is a super guy. I've bought **** from him for years, hell, i've even bought **** that he had ordered for his own car. We've built 1/2 of the Panama City Gang cars just from Paul being in my cell phone. I say take it to them and have no worries, they'll treat you right.


That being said, if you want that stuff to be fast, bring it to PCB.

Sucks man. Wish my old car was running as well for you as it was for me. Hope you get the tune figured out. You still need to call me next time you hit the track.
