thanks thats what i figured. lol i guess i still would have to log on the streets with the meth.thats just not something i feel good about . i mainly would get an email tune to get v7 running right on my car. i enjoy tuning it myself. but not tuning the idle with ac on .
why is there no 4011 v7?

I'm not aware of anyone doing email tunes who will tune a meth setup. That little detail should have been stated in the original post.

BTW, do you have E85 in your area?

4WS all the way, he's the man for sure. He knows his stuff and is patient and will work with you until it's exactly where you want it

4WS will tune with the meth system also but you have to know how it's set up and activated, have a consistent meth mixture i.e. meth/water or straight meth etc. He tuned my last meth set-up via e-tune that I ran for 2 years before I swapped to e-85

4wstuning.com is definitely a top choice on my list. I have been tuned by him since 2007 and he does not disappoint. Throughout the years, I have added more and more mods here and there and Tamer's price is second to none for re-tunes.

+1 for 4WS

There are quite a few reputable e-mail tuners on the forum these days. Mellon,Boosted,4WS,etc... So many that it's hard to tell you who is the best fit for you and your budget/goals. You'll just have to form you own opinion and contact the few you have decided seem like a good fit and go from there.

First, off I'd like to say thanks to everyone that gave Boosted Tuning a mention.

adcgn45, I would love to offer you my services and tell you to give me a call/email/PM if you had any questions, but I regret to inform you Im not a biggest fan of meth injection and wont tune it by email. Sorry.

I recommend that you dont go with an email tune and go to some one local and have the tune done in-person. 4WS, Jestr and AWD Motorsports are both located in FL, so that should help you narrow your choices.

AWD will not tune you if you are running meth either.

4WS over any other company listed in this thread. Tamer's price is better then anyone here, that's why I've used him for the last 3yrs. Re-tunes are more reasonable then others. It makes me wonder why the hell some of these company's charge $350.00 for a tune.......AFR's have always been dead on with my E85 tune and idle is always smooth! I daily this car so reliability is a must.

Well some of these guys have some decent overhead involved. You have websites, forum vendor memberships (this forum is ridiculous with their pricing too IMO so my hat's off to you guys for even paying it), banner advertising on forums, etc... Not to mention any liability insurance they may also be paying (similar to mechanics insurance basically). Most tuners will have you sign a liability waiver though before tuning.

So it's not all just price gouging for some people. Don't forget that some are giving you far more tuning time than a dynoshop would also. Some limit the amount of reflashes given per session which is stupid, you're done when the tune is done IMO. There are a lot of tuners that are good at the basic tuning process but not as seasoned at fixing the intricate problems that arise from highly (and sometimes mildy) modified vehicles. This can be worth quite a lot to the end user. It's not all cut and dry so just keep some of these factors in mind. Now that there are more options than ever, you can just opt to go with a less expensive tuner if you feel they will give you the same results in the same timely manner.
