I want people to be wise when they do this. Picking a tuner is like picking a bride, its a lot of work but after the fun wears off (first tune, mods ect) your kinda stuck to them so make sure it was the right choice! lol

I've been on here since 2008, just didn't post much at all. Just reading and learning mostly. I came across the thread (using the search button to FIND information) when reading about water-methanol injection etc.

Funny that a noob comment is coming from the guy who joined in 2010.

Nice write up Evan. You've gained my respect for telling it how it is.
You've got it figured out for sure!

^^ Thank you! Gaining respect on forums can be difficult due to the lack of emotion.

Thanks again...

One thing I have found is if you are having the parts installed or a motor built its also easier/better for both the tuner and owner that you have the same shop/tuner doing that work if possible.

Less finger pointing and guessing. The tuner knows the history from the ground up and there is some continuity. Learned this the hard way.

I couldn't agree more... Letting the internet build your car can easily lead to confusion and overall failure of a build or project.

There are a few that can pull off mixing parts and tuners, but its rare...
