Thanks
Who do you guys suggest for tuning in California or should I just get a programmer with tunes installed on it

Dyno tunes will always be a more accurate and custom way of tuning a vehicle opposed to buying a tuner from say, american muscle, and having them put tunes on it before they ship it to u. However, not everyone (me included) has access to a dyno tuner very close. dyno tuning usually costs more than a tuner also.

I got a tuner from american muscle with tunes installed on it and i have never had a problem with my car. its fast, pulls hard, and runs just fine. just my 2 cents

What's the average price of a tuner with tunes installed on it with my experience tuning a car usually costs about $800 but I've been dealing with euro cars this is my first American v8

Actually not on the 2011 up cars. Dyno tuning is a thing of the past. Data logging a tune on the street is now the way to go.

is this in any reference due to the fact that our cars now basically have a wideband from the factory?

to buy a tuner with tunes on it runs between $350-$600 ish depending on how fancy ur tuner is.

What about the sct programmer are those any good?

Brian@Vossen

Yea definitely go with a basic bolt-ons(exhaust, cold-air intake, intake manifold etc...) and then a tune to get some more power out of the engine with out going the boost route.

those are among what the previous poster linked to you, and is the most commonly used tuner.
