And you can afford the motor/potential trans when a ****** tune blows them up?

I built the motor and the trans and the rear, I'm an ase certified mechanic with plenty of training to tune my car. What makes you think I'm gonna let some jack ars give me a shoddy tune?? Thank you for your opinion , but its not needed...

sooo buy a used tuner.. dont ask for help and then start being a wise ass towards people that are trying to help.

did you say youre training to tune?
just bc youre an ase tech doesnt mean you can tune.
i know tuners that cant turn a wrench. good ones too

Just had to say the JSPerformance is not only a sponsor of this site but is a sponsor who has worked on and tuned a lot of members cars with no issues. If you are unsure talk to some of his customers, they are all happy that I know of. If budget is the issue just call him and get a ballpark what you are looking at price wise. Spend a little now to ensure you don't blow it up because of a crap tune later. It's worth spending the extra dough when you build something like what you built.

If you are looking for a start-up tune... get a mail order tune. It'll run you around $200.
