Before I went supercharger, I didnt notice a difference with a canned tune. Its never going to be as good as a dyno tune. The whole point of a tuner is to put a custom tune from a dyno into your car. Just use the canned tunes until you can get a "real" tune then you will be happy spending that money for a tuner. Until then I dont think you will be happy with your expensive mod that you really barely notice. You would be better off spending the money on a set of drag radials...

Vmp performance gives out good tunes and they by far have the best customer sercvice. Ive herd a lot or people recommend them and say the same thing about the service. Personally I vouch on that as well as everytime Ive emailed them about something they emailed me back on advice and help and more tunes in the same day!!!

Honeslty I would never ever get a canned tune for my car. I had my diablo on there and when I found out how lean the car was with their tune and how far the timing was off I was really surprise it didnt blow.

+1 no one over the phone or internet can tune you car perfectly like a dyno can.

yea but idk about the op's situation, but i have a bone stock motor... and apperantly a decent stock tune... 90% of why im getting it is to be able to adjust ****, not for the "tune" itself... ill be getting a n/a and nitrous tune, and plan on throwing it on a dyno, or atleast buying a wideband and datalogging and seeing where im at.
right now im at a toss up btw modulardepot and vmp.... leaning towards vmp just because ive talked to the guy.
