Default Engine parts

As I said I'm just going by what was listed on the car, I'm going to inquire as too what is actually on the car and go from there. The lack of info from the guy I bought it From is irritating too day the least.

that is pretty cheap there. maybe they know what they are doing.

to me it seems strange that they quoted you, and are willing to start fresh with a new tune not knowing what parts they will be working with.

Default Shop

A buddy of mine is a tech there that's probably why I'm getting a decent deal. I will let everyone know how it goes so hopefully other members will have access to another good shop.

Default Tuner

If there was someone up this way I would buy the quarter horse and pay then to tune the car. Unfortunately I'm going to have to send it to A shop, good news is its next week so hopefully it will be done and tuned correctly in the next cutie weeks. I appreciate the help and info, i look forward to actually finding out what is on the car and what it is capable of

That's a great deal, I've always paid way more than that. Good luck with the tune.

just so you know, if it is anything other than a moates chip, they will probably be locked out of the tune. I know sct chips are like that. Only the person that wrote it can see the tune...unless they do like i did and steal it off of it

Chips usually don't cost that much, I still think that's his best bet short of doing it himself.

they can use the chip, they just won't see the old tune. the .bin file is encrypted.
