maybe some other guys who have done it can add in their input because I've never done it nor am I very familiar with the procedure. Maybe doing a search will give you some more info about it.

i've tried searches but the things that come up aren't exactly specific like who and where. i guess if anyone out there see's this and has someone that did a good job for them then give me their info so i can contact them and ask them about the details.

Do some searching. There are alot of good people that do email tunes. do some searching on Jestr tuning, TTP, John Bradley. Talk to them and see which one you feel more comfortable with .

The reason I saw email is cause I am not familiar with any tuners in WI

Do you have a laptop? If so just get the tactrix cable its $89. Then you can have basically any tuner you chose to tune your car via email exepct with the cable you are flashing your own car. You just log your car send the logs to your tuner and he will change accordingly, email it back to you etc, etc.. till its right

Where in WI are you? Beyond Redline (Green Bay) has an AWD dyno that I might be visiting next month.

There are a BUNCH of Evos in Milwaukee, so hook up with them and find out who to trust and where to get tuned. Go down to the regional forum and join the huge Milwaukee thread.

It is possible to tune it on a 2w dyno, either discon. the driveshaft or more commonly using rollers as he told you. It seems as though if the reading will be off, you mine as well just get a road tune and not waste your time on a dyno. Or even an email tune would be more cost effective and just as good as the faux dyno tune.

the place in green bay would be closer but when someone says to stay away from a shop by name... that makes me not want to go to that shop. that's just me though. i'm going to try to hook up with some people from the area and see how and what they do. i'm also going to ask the tuner i found closest to me if he can to road tunes. i did call him earlier to see what he had to say about what i was being told on here and he told me he's done 20-30 other 4 wheel cars and had no problems. he also told me that if anything happens he would fix it. i forgot to ask him about the road tune though but i don't think he would have a problem with that. can you get accurate hp numbers from a road tune like you would on a dyno tune?

Indeed. You only need to get tuned once (when done by a capable shop.) It's worth it to take a day off work and have AMS do it.
