Tuner
Anyone know of a tuner in the Bay Area to do a tune on my '97 A4.
I have hi-flo cats, X-pipe and ZO6 Ti cat back exhaust. Also I have a Blackwing air filter, BBK CAI, port and polished trottle body from a ZO6 and a 160 stat. At present it has a SuperChip tunner installed. Will the dyno tune benifit me still?

With what youve got, probably not. It would be a waste of money in my opinion until you get something like a cam or headers.
The superchips probably does the one thing you'd really need so far which would be to change the fan-on temp for that 160 thermostat.

Thanks for the info. I'll give them a call. So on the pulls, would one be with a stock tune the next with the superchip tune installed and the third after any adjustments made? This is my first time going through this.

Merry Christmas!
