Question Need to get the LNF tuned in the next few weeks.

So I have finally deiced to have the car tuned I was/am considering Trifecta or ZZP email tune. But I am worried the ZZP tune wont give me enough power and after doing more and more digging it seems people are not liking what they are getting from trifecta over the last year or so.

So here is the goal I would like as close to 300whp as possible and as safe as possible. I have access to HP tuners a buddy of mine just bought it for his Turbo LS car so remote tuning is possible. A few local guys have had there cars tunes by James Rakes but I have seen so many bad things posted about him so im not sure I want to go that route.

Any recommendations? And what is the average cost to be remote tuned? Do any of you have experience with ZZP email tunes? Its by far the cheapest option with the cost of credits its only $225 but as I said im not sure it will get me what I want.


Mods: - K&N Drop in, ZZP Intake tube, OTTP 3" Catless DP, Muffler Delete.

As far a future mods go my only plans are hard pipes and a custom 3" cat-back.

Hello CaRRiED,


Our tune tends to be pretty spot on. We will make sure to safely squeeze as much HP out of your car that we can. We can send you Our tunes as well through email. On our dyno with similar mods people put down between 290-305 whp.

If you'd like you can come up and schedule a dyno tune or come on up and we can tune you in person as well. We are about 2.5 hours from the Chicagoland area. I personally make the trip most weekends, back and forth.

I think zzp is nice cause it's safe if you're going canned tune. Don't get trifecta.
