Default ECU tuning

Before I go in search of a company for tuning, Is there a trusted member people use for tuning? I would like the ecu tuned for removal of cars and whatever performance I can get out of it at the moment.

What location? What vehicle? It isn't in your profile so how does anyone know where you are or what you are working on to recommend someone? It might help for questions if you do fill up your profile so we know who we are talking to.

Dyno tune or tuning by datalog or "guess a tune"?

i figured i would just mail out my ecu. But I live around central Florida. My autocorrect messed me up in my original post and I just realized that. I want the ecu tunes for removal of vats and just your generic canned tune. ‘86 auto.

If the engine is stock, I don't see any benefit to alter the tune. If you want VATS deleted or cooler fan on/off that can be done. No need to mail entire ECU. You can mail the memcal that's installed inside of the ECU but your SOL if it gets lost in the mail.


Alternative would be to acquire a spare to be modified or get an adapter with a reprogrammed chip.


Attached for representation...your 1227165 ECU looks different.

I would not either. Probably won't do any of this myself if it was stock
