$180 is not worth any email tune for the extra $20 you can get onto a dyno.

bet if you compared all of the tunes on the dyno there would be maybe 3-6 hp diff in the diff tunes at most and it would basically just be diff spikes in the power.

If your impressed with a email tune I recommend getting your car on a dyno.

$180 for an e-mail tune? Are you serious? I just got off the phone a few minutes ago with my local shop to get quotes on a nitrous dyno tune. $150. They are a very popular shop and do good work. Any of you in the dfw area (gearheads)

I try and recommend everyone to JDM, they are the best tuners in the world for the
s197 in my opinion.

JDM is hands down the best imo. Probably the best kept secret

JDm is good i am sure, not 180 email tune good though. As tomb pointed out all email tunes will probably be very close when put on the dyno. They can each make the tune "feel" different though. They are all going to be hit and miss to. Some with work out well and some wont. for 180, i would finding a good shop that has tuned MANY s197s or stick with a 3 pack from the email tuners especially if you are lightly modded
