good reason not to be. Me and my friend just drove from ohio picking up a GT28R turbo srt-4 and it made 433 whp on pump there when we brought it back here to longisland and dynoed it and it only made 380 whp before breaking up and having to back off. tune worked great over there but not so hot over here. Mail order tunes the only way i can see it have to be made on the safer side cause you dont know where your gonna be sending it off too. i wouldn't want to have kids calling my shop up trying to hold me liable cause there tune was for 12.1 a/f in warm weather at a high altitude than the person who orderd it was at sea level and its 30 degrees out side at night car ran lean at 7400 rpms and blew the motor. thats an extreme and unlikely senario but you get the point.

I here you but can promise you that our order from ask's some specific questions like where you live and altitude . Also the differance between your Srt-4 is that only guessing here but I'm 99% sure it had a stanalone or piggy back unit to manipulate the factory pcm there for not be able to adjust commanded a/f and timing table's like the stock PCM in the cobalt . Also unlike some other mail order PCM's we don't remove the factory protection areas that should never be touched . BTW you should note the numbers in your post are your's not ours

All updates are free unless you want it dyno tune then you will pay for the dyno time . [At a discounted rate of coarse .]

Yes but they can't see it with the Tech 2 any way I would be more concerned with pulleys,headers,coldair kits

tru oh yeah just to say it ain't my srt-4 I just drove it for the 8 hour trip back to newyork. was fine in the afternoon in ohio but by the time we got back to newyork at night car had some hiccups in the tune come full boost in 4th gear whihc a little time on the DTECH and dyno took car of by adding some more fuel. oh yeah it wasn't a standalone but a Dtec used for some of the tuning as well as an FPR. I think Mail order tunes are fine as long as the person whos purchasing it aren't mad when there tune isn't squeezing out every possible HP they want it to. if thats what there expecting what there looking for is a custom tune.

Yes but there are a lot of unfaimilar shops who may do great work but we have a leg up . Now the best way to take advantage of a mail order tune is to get some scanning software or put it on a dyno so we can nail the tune and you have all of the cost savings of getting it via mail with trust that no one's going to blow up your car . But I can tell you that we blew away a competitors mail order tune with our mail order tune .
