Yeah I have to agree e-tunes is what everybody is doing pretty much but like he said the tuner prefer that you already have the wideband connected. I used chris from Mellon racing is a good price AMS prices just when off the roof. But is you decision bro. Also Aaron from English racing is good.

Aaron @ English Racing does it for $200/initial and $100/retune. Not trying to promote ER or persuade you but it's the route I went that satisfied me.

Yeah that is a lotta cash!! for a e-tune. I used mellon and with the set up that i have i am putting down 521awhp and 470tq on VD. Also when i was using my stage 2 cobb and i got a actual tune on i gain almost 30 hp and tq in a custom map. So you will see gain for sure compare to a shelf map.

it really depends on mods and thoroughness...

personally I dont use base-maps, everything is custom tuned...

not saying that's the best way todo it, I just like doing it that way - it just takes longer thats all...

I think paying less than $300 is VERY cheap...

Aaron from ER is a buddy of mine, so I'm sure you are getting a good tune from him... but still very cheap...

price doesn't necessarily denote the quality, make sure you read plenty of reviews before you make a choice

I'm not saying good or bad. But why would anyone want a cheap tune?
You playing with fire, literally, LOL
