Default tuner in/around augusta,ga

posted this in scan and tune, thought i might get some other responses here also

curious if anyone around the augusta, georgia area has any good referrals on a good place to have my car tuned. i have a 98 coupe, pretty well stock. over 100k miles. is a tune even necessary without any engine mods? what is a reasonable price for a tune?

thanks for all the advice in advance, just trying to keep my date night car in the best possible condition.

Default tune

Without any changes,there is very little to gain,with a custom tune.In the atlanta area,about 150 miles from you MTI charges 650.00.Don't waste your time.Vengence around Cummings, charges a little less..

What is your definition of "tune"? Tweaking the computer or plugs, wires, etc?

If the car is stock, then it is generally not worth the money. Automatics will benefit a little more since a tuner will generally speed up and firm up the shifts. So, there is some benefit to it for automatics.

Vengeance is $590, and for 1 year after that you can update the tune as many times as you need for $175 per update. Mine is going there for headers and tune on the 13th. I wouldn't fool with it unless you mod the engine or exhaust (headers).
