Ahhhhhh,,,, Way way back a LONG time ago, there were wars between various tuners.. That has since subsided.

All I stated was TUNING IS A VERY SENSITIVE Subject. Meaning: Like a FAVORITE FOOTBALL TEAM. All the tuners on here are excellent. We all have our favorite tuners.

I was just trying to be funny...

You like Team A and I like Team B and we debate between our teams with a vengeance. I don't think you will get a bad tune with who ever you use to tune your PCM.

Not entirely true..... It depends who does it..... Furthermore, a one-shot-pcm-swap-mail-tune

can get you running, but will NEVER compare to a mail tune that uses something like our EFI LIVE AUTOCAL

remote tuner as the customer can e-mail valuable datalogs back to the tuner to make sound adjustments based on

performance and real data rather than a one-shot-mail-tune where it's just a GUESS and can not possibly be "correct".

Furthermore, we sell our autocal with SERIAL WIDEBAND for a few hundred extra that makes it just like the car

is here with me in person for tuning and you can be on the other side of the world.

Most of you out there have too much money in your vehicle (including mods) to take a half-*** approach to tuning.

Tuning is simply the MOST important part of a build and I can't understand why people chose this are to

cut corners..... Just insane....
