You're less than 4 hours from AMS. I was in Urbana on Tuesday, it's a nice/quick drive. Plus, E85 is super cheap down there in corn country! Just another option... may be worth it to get the car 100% dialed in on a dyno.

I planned on going to Buschur or AMS when I get everything together, clutch, cams, turbo etc... I guess I remembered the good old days, when I got an email tune from Mellon for.. $75. lol now they want $350.. AMS is like $9k to get a dyno tune.. ok slightly exaggerating.

I suppose I'll just fork up the money for an actual dyno tune, just worried my clutch won't last

The most I've ever paid AMS for a dyno tune was $225, but that was their price for modifying a car that was already partially tuned.

You could always just do it yourself

AMS charges you for the software license the first time that you go in for a tune.

The stock clutch is a lot stronger than most think...mine held my FPred on e85 for quite some dyno and showed no signs of slippage on they dyno.

It was still holding when I finally replaced it.

AMS is $550 for a tune on AP or ECU I believe. This is for an X. They were $750 so they've dropped there price some.

Is AMS using ECUTek? There's a license there, right?

Does AMS do ecuflash tuning as well? price? I've emailed them with no response yet.. I think I might end up doing an email tune from 4ws.. ($200) Mellon has come a long way, I remember a few years back I was probably one of the first handful of people to be tuned by Mellon via email.. I believe the price was $50 or 75 bucks haha..
