i'm thinking maybe someone else might have had a similar experience. i'm looking for better driveability and i'm sure my combo is able to put down 20-30rwhp & about 20-25 ft-lbs more than it is

the problem with going from one tuner shop to the next is that they all tune generally the same way using the same things...and when you go with your own custom setup ie head/cam/converter/gears instead of one of theirs they might not have any hours of ever working with that combo...each combinatino needs time to learn what it likes & doesnt like...they are there to make money and try and get you in and out in 5hrs or less & move on to the next car and maybe make small changes at your request once you report back. In my experience if your gonna go to a tuner shop to do your tune either have a bolt on only car or have them do your entire car ie heads/cam/converter they can/will make you very fast because they already knows what works. If your gonna do your own heads/cam pkg and what have you do the tuning yourself or find someone who will spend the time needed to make the car more drivable. Your friend may have found the light at the end of the tunnel but at what expense? apparently $2500 in tuning costs. He couldve bought a tuning program, a very good laptop, a wideband, egt setup & still had money left over for at least a partial payment on a 12 bolt lol. Its up to you but I would just hate for you to drive 100 miles or whatever it is up to eastside and face the same fate as your friend...$1100 in the hole & still no light at the end of the tunnel.
