hmmm that's pretty cool vmp only charges 50 bucks for a tune. I think i'll get a 93 tune from them when my TI/Xcal package gets here. That'll only total 529 and that's shipped. pretty good deal all together imo.

You were right in what you said before, how most people will only use one tune, that's why i didn't order from b-ama or brenspeed or anything. I don't need 3 GREAT tunes. I need one. has anyone done mail-order tunes from vmp? I haven't heard of anyone yet who has. Justin is a GREAT tuner though, so i would expect great things from them.

for us sixers i suggest either b-ama's 93 race tune, from what i've researched.people who had both b-ama and brenspeed like b-ama better... oryou couldget one ofjustin's tunes. justin's a v6 guru and you can't go wrong with his tunes. he knows his stuff and sixers are his forte.

Well i am not sure what you mean by go through with the tune, but basically what will happen is you will have to buy a flash tuner with the intake. SCT xcal 2 is the most common. You order it with tunes from your choice of dealer, or you can get a dyno tune. This flash tuner plugs into your obd II port which i think is on the left side of our steering wheel under the dash...? It basically changes your engine computers parameters to make more power.

if you can use a computer to post on this forum, then you should be pretty well qualified to install a flash tune. not difficult. load the tuner device up with your custom tunes on a PC (other than the ones already preinstalled by the factory) and plug the thing into your car and follow the on screen directions. so easy a caveman can do it.[8D]
