How many miles did you wait before a tune?

Just as the title says, how many miles did you wait before your tune? And what does everyone recomend? Anything after break in is fine?

Thanks Everyone in advance.

Wow! Good to know. Anyone else? I was figuring anything after break in was ok... Around 1kish but guess I'm wrong.

AMS is doing some work with the RA's and I believe they recommend waiting until 1,000 miles or better before getting the pill and flash.

I don't know that you'll find a definitive answer to this, but waiting one or two thousand miles will definitely not hurt and is probably your best bet. PM a few of the tuners on here and see what they recommend.

I sent a tuner and they actually have yet to reply, but I'm getting some great responses here and was wrong about thinking it was ok to get a tune anytime after break in.

I talked with a tuner in SoCal on Thursday and was told I needed at least a 1,000 miles before they would tune it.

Of course you can get it tuned whenever... But Im pretty pretty sure theres a recomended wait time(reaching X amount of miles) to do this. Thanks to everyone posting I think I may wait till I have at least a couple thousand miles.

I would say after the factory recommended break in. I'm just under 700 miles now and am seriously looking at a cobb ap stage 1 reflash. I changed my oil out at 600 miles and it had a lot of fuel in the oil which is due to the rich nature of the factory map, it was a lot less viscous than the new 5w30 i poured in. The stage 1 reflash should help lean it out a little but more importantly, less fuel in the oil means the oil can do its job better of protecting the motor. But back on topic, I would definitely wait at least until after break in.
