I have some fantastic one's, but you will need to have HPTuners to flash them to the car. And most of them are for upgraded injectors and mods.

if your going to buy a mail order tune get one from tunetime, vector or someone that will back up thier tune.

Im not knocking psyhcostevo's tuning ablity, im just saying hptuners will cost you 500+, then you'll spend another couple hundred for steve's tune, where as vector or one of the supported venders the cost would be about half.

do a search for more details.. this has been discussed a million times.

Be careful of any mailed tunes. Whether they be mine, intense's, TTP or anyone else. Noone has a perfect tune out there for everycar. I have 2 SS/SC's and it made sense for me to buy HPTuners. For the rest of you it might be more convenient to ship your ecu's back and forth over the mail than it is to do things yourself. Other's can't wait 2 weeks to get a tune on their car by mailing things in. That is where .bin files come in handy.

And BTW, my prices are way more reasonable than most other alternatives, but if you don't have access to HPtuners, then you are SOL.

$399.00 OMFG I've never heard of pretunes being this highly priced, and they don't even include tuning for the 34# injectors!

OK.. My thoughts are.. why would I pay 400.00 to ship my ECU to westers when I can get HPTuners for the same price or close.. learn to tune my own car and re tune it as needed??

Just my thoughts.....

HP Tuners is relatively easy to use. If you can understand Algebra, and have good car knowledge, then it is easier than programming a VCR.
