Default Help!! I need a tune!

Hey guys,
Well about 2 months ago I got headers and an ory and did not tune. And just yesterday I got an Rock On level 4 with a TCI street fighter. After getting all these goodies, I have run out of money for a tune. $400 is ridiculious anyways! But considering what I have done, I want a tune, if not Need a tune. So I was wondering if there is anyone in the Lubbock or surrounding area that could help me out. I hope there is someone around, thanks in advance!

good luck.

You have money for headers/ORY/built trans/stall, but no money for a tune?

Something doesn't add up.

I bought all those things in the summer when I could work pretty much full time. School started yesterday so now my hours have been cut in half. At this time, No, I do not have money for a tune. Of course, I am going to save for a tune, but it is hard to save going to school full time and only getting to work part time considering I have bills to pay, and gas kicks my ***...why would I lie about that anyways? That doesn't make any sense.

Also, when I got the built trans it was b/c my trans took a dump on me. And since I have to have my car, my parents gave me a loan for half of the cost.
Did I clear everything up?

TSP's mail order tunes are $225. maybe if you tell him your hard luck story he would take a little off that since there is no shipping needed. and if you go up there, tell matt anthony is going to slap him if he sells his notchback without getting a good pass out of it.

yours would be better than a mail order tune, i was just using that as an example for pricing.
