Good tuners?

I really want to get my car hp tuned because I think my trifecta tune is way to conservative and Vince is damn near impossible to get ahold of for updates so I'm looking for a tuner. I know there is a tuning subforum but I've already posted in there with no responses because nobody looks in that forum lol. I know ccss3 is supposed to be the best but I know nothing about how hp tuning works with remote tuning. Anyone know of any tuners near bloomingdale, OH? It's about an hour west of pittsburgh to give some perspective about the location. Thanks!

I don't know of anyone tuning around their, but I've worked with ccss3 a few times with remote tuning, and he does a great job, and if you don't know how to do something, don't be affraid to ask him, he is more than willing to walk you through everything you'll need to know to get the job done right.

My main question with remote tuning though is to do it, I'd need the hp tuners software correct?

yes that is the only thing that sucks, and it is expensive, but you can also tune and tune as much as you want, you won't have to spend 50-100 bucks for a retune after every part you buy for your car, so in the end depending on how much you build, it will end up paying for itself, also if you decide to sell your car later down the road, you can keep the hp tuners and use it on your next car

I just can't justify spending another $600 after everything I've spent this summer especially since I have no idea how to use the software. I'd love to have it and learn it just can't do it right now lol. I appreciate the info though. Hopefully I can find a good tuner in the mean time

hey no problem, hell you could talk to one of your buddies close by you cause you can do two with the credits that it gives you, lol than you two can split it, you don't have to, just giving you ideas, but if you search for dyno tuners in your area, just give them a call and ask them if they can do it.

There is a shop fairly close by owned by a member on here, BoostedYards86. I'm probably gonna give them a call and see what they charge, I was just trying to avoid going with another tuning "business" after the less than wonderful experience with trifecta.

Terminator2 is another tuner you can do. He has been tuning LNF's for years and if you look at the dyno thread you'll see a lot of cars tuned by him.

I remember reading that also but I still have a tactrix cable so I should just be able to flash it to stock before having the hpt written on. And thanks
