Default Great new resource!

Great to see this new section here guys!

This will allow users to get focused attention regarding their tuner, no matter what tuner you choose to use.

We'll be around here from now on to help in any way we can.

Thanks
Mike

Tunes are only as reliabe and accurate as the tuner who wrote them
There is no difference in a tune created with SCT or CMR. If the same tuner writes both tunes, they are the same, regardless of the software used.

Where are you located (ZIP code)?

As for the fog lights, I have never seen that...is this a ProCharger Predator or standard Predator?

i live in lancaster...93536. I am in the middle of installng my procharger, so its time for custum tune. instead of paying 5-6 hundred dollars for a tune on a dyno, i was wondering if i could just use a tune via email.... i guess thats the question i should have asked. also its a regular diablo predator. purchased it from x2c motorsports years ago. thanx again mike

You have to realize, an email tune for a Supercharger is going to leave a LOT on the table.

Any reputable tuner is going to set the tune up very safe, as in a fat A/F ratio and very little timing, so as to make sure the car does not blow up the first time you romp on it.

If it is tuned in person, the tuner can datalog the car, and see whats happening in real time, allowing the tune to be more aggressive without leaning on it, leading to better power and driveability.

I ran your ZIP code, and see several local dealers, Powertrain dynamics being the closest, and they could do this no problem.
