who does the best email tunes?
Lots of good suggestions in this thread. You really can't go wrong with any of them.
Best bang for your buck tune is 4WS. Tamer is extremely helpful and will get your car exactly where you want it.

+1, I have to imagine thats where these guys all learned anyway. I tried the e-mail tune thing a while back and in the end I was back here figuring it out for myself anyway + I coud never afford to pay someone or expect the 1000s of hours I have spent logging, tweaking and changing set-ups. Spend your money to get it on a dyno as the WOT stuff is kind of sketchy on the street and you can get a lot done in a short amount of time.

I had good experience with Jestr, a good-went-bad with 4WS (he did a good job on three of our cars and suddenly stopped any communication) and now I can warmly recommend Jay@Boosted - he proved to be very committed, did a great job on a modded car (internals, big injectors, big turbo), he will be definitely my choice for any evos we'll have to work on!

From my own experience and reading a lot of these posts there are really two services here IMO, they are related but not at all the same.
One is setting up and using all of the functions and benifits of V7 which requires someone knowledgable with ECUflash and Tephpra's mods and the other is actually tuning a car which requires someone knowledgable in EFI tuning and engine function.
Both of these traits can be found in one "tuner" but not always and sometimes "tuners" will specialize in certain feaures of V7 but inexplicably refuse to use others and be actually marginal in terms of conceptually understanding basic EFI tuning. Oher "tuners" are world class but may not necesscarily be up to speed on all the ins and outs of ECUflash.

Jestr! If you live in Florida you really have no excuse not to get dyno tuned by Jestr. The best tuner lives in your back yard!!! Also heard good things about Diiirk at AWD motorsports. So pick who's closer and get it done properly!
Yea I'm in fl but Tampa. Not that close to coral springs. I've been tuning the car myself and haven't ever tried a tune. I kinda wanted to get one Just to see what they would do that I didn't and see if they could make more power than me. And if so how.
I'm considering running meth and two maps and that's a bit more than I can tune on the streets also

I could sit here and write up a guide that would allow every single person with enough patience and interest to be able to tune their evo as good as any pro, but im not going to do that because I had to learn the hard way on my own to tune and if you want to as well the information is out there its just scattered.
There is a sticky n the ECUFlash forum for doing this as well as a, wiki, and a whole ECUFlash tuning guide.
That said 4WS has been awseome to me over the years and has always kept my car running great back when I had no clue about the ECUFlash stuff. Now that I've learned I tune it myself.
Problem for me is that in my area Tri State there is not one shop I would even consider to bring my car to for tuning. A lot of shady shops and characters up here. Trust Me
