Default Best Mail Order Tune ??

Who should I send my ecu to? I have a full bolt on car and don't have the time or money to do a dyno tune right now.

Any suggestions would be great!

All depends what you are looking to get out of the bolt ons, but I had mine done by ECS and love it. Not saying other mail orders won't work, but they have a great track record and are fast!

I agree, ECS or Corvettes of Winchester (Chuck) are the most often mentioned here on the forum.

And Don't forget our latest AutoCal SPECIAL FEATURE!

SERIAL WIDEBAND
AutoCal




YES, it is now possible to install a TECH EDGE OR INNOVATE wideband

and collect SERIAL WIDEBAND DATA into you AutoCal device.

This is NOT crappy analog wideband run thru an air conditioning circuit or anything

of that sort. This is a DIGITAL, SERIAL, RS-232 COMMUNICATION between your WIDEBAND and

your Chuck CoW MODIFIED AutoCal.

It is now finally possible to PERFECTLY TUNE CAMMED, TURBO, and SUPERCHARGED (and also N/A cars)

REMOTELY TO THE SAME LEVEL OF PRECISION that we tune to here in the shop or on a dyno.

No more guessing and no more narrow-band interpretation.

Using our new system, YOU and Chuck CoW BOTH KNOW THAT YOUR CAR IS RUNNING PERFECTLY.

Call any time for details on ordering or modifying your existing AutoCal.


Stay TUNED for more and more FIRST TO MARKET products from...
CHUCK CoW

The link below was started in 2009 by ECS. You can read all about the tune ECS provides and read all the testimonies on how happy corvette members are with a reliable tune which doesn't cost a premium.

I have been EXTREMELY happy with all the work Chuck has done for me! He is extremely conscientious and one of the most knowledgeable guys that I have ever had work on my cars.

I highly recommend that you give him a call and discuss your goals and needs. All the people that I have ever recommended to Chuck, have been very happy with the results of their mods or tuning.
