those have proven to be worthless without somebody experienced programming the tune into it.

We charge 550.00 for a SCT tune with the X-CAL 2. That includes welding a bung in the exhaust to install the A/F sensor.

If he decides to go with a mail-order tune, tell him to call Jim @ JDM. He knows his **** when it comes to Lightnings. www.teamjdm.com

The G-Force deal sounds like a good one, I have heard great things about them.

Why wouldn't you go with PSI? They're the best Lightning tuners in Houston.

I say do your boyfriend a favor and send him over to G-Force. Mike and all the guys over there are good guys to deal with, and i know he can tune because he tuned my car to over 390rwhp and 385rwtq with mods in sig, but I'm also interested to know why not Psi, not that i think Patrick can tune better than mike but they always have a couple of lightnings over there, including the silver one that runs 10's. Strictly Performance tunes ford's but I always hear that the guy (richard) that owns strictly is a dick so i wouldn't want to go there. From my experience mike is a good tuner and you probably wont find a better group of guys at a shop, at least not from my experience from the shops i have been to or that i have heard about, and if you are getting a good tune, it is worth the money to get it done right.
