As to performance, if I were doing it, NFW would I run you the hottest tune I can do simply because of liability so I would backpedal some. Either that or I will push the limit hoping your knock sensor or other systems will compensate. I like to be there watching the power curve go up and up till it drops down a bit and have you back it off to the last known good. Not to say I don't trust you but well, I don't.
I have a couple of mechanics I trust but beyond that, I want to be there watching what is happening.

Find a local tuner to get the car tuned on a dynojet if you want something done right.
There are a few mail-in tuners that you can try, but if they are not making you datalog and redoing the chips afterwards, then you are flushing money.
And do this AFTER you have done all your serious modifications.

I'd venture to say look at the "feedback" option - is it available ? A good tuner will offer you this service ??????
Just my humble opinion !!!!!!!! greg

I agree I am doubting the quality. Does anybody here have a company they recommend for this type of service? I am having a hard time finding tuning options and I am in the process of building my motor so will have to re tune soon. I am in Sacramento if anybody knows of a good tuner.
