Tune Time!!

Well after installing all the bolt ons i want, and having nothing but problems like cel, sporadic idle, horrible fuel mileage and the list goes on, ive decided its time to tune. Ive contacted Westers Garage here in Alberta, and for $550 he does his own program tune, changes a whole pile of **** that makes no sense to me with dyno results! I asked him about my issues and he told me whats happening so this is my next logical step. Ive been told by countless people he is one of the best at what he does so this should be interesting to see what i get out of the car.

Plus....this gives me a chance to drive the 5.0L again

I dont think so in alberta for tune and dyno time usually i seen 750-900. I would much rather have someone who has a reputable business do it than someone with a program that thinks they know do it. The vms can tune is 349, plus downtime, with no dyno and that was my initial choice but whos to say it works well with my car.

Since it includes dyno time and tune $550 is fair that is what it would average me if I went to a shop for a tune.
