I Got Mine Tuned at S.T Motorsports in San Bernandino. It was 500 for a diablo chip and the tune. He did a great job, my car has minor stuff done to it, see my mods. He got 251 to wheels but what i like is the service he provides, you can be right there with him while it gets done, great attitude and he is not satisfied until he has done the best job possible on the car. What i like is that now my car drives totally different. before the tune it would ping at wide open with only 10 degrees of timing, stall when putting it into gear(auto trans ) im happy with my tune

For powertrain dynamics, the rate is $150 for the first hour, and $125 for each additional.

They came recommended by joe at Chicane Sport Tuning, said he sends pretty much all his cars their.

Sounds good, post your results when you can when i got mine done He took his time, road tested it and made changes as needed, that way we felt how it responded to the changes made. Took a while to get it to where we where both satisfied. Took around 4 hours or so

Wow, does it take that long usually?

I dont have anything wild, just P&P GT-40 heads/intake, E Cam, and boltons.

I'm mainly just looking for better gas mileage, its got plenty of power, but it runs rich(between 2-3 green bars on my A/F gauge) and eats way too much gas!

No it did not take long for the initial tune, he just wanted to make sure all of my driveability was correct, no more pinging, erratic idle, stalling when shifting into gear, especially when turning. i hated that trying to park sometimes because it would stall all the time. I just mean that you get everything out of the tune, o well i know of other places that tune your car and it still runs like crap, one of my cousins friends had his car tuned at one place, dont want to mention a name. As soon as he left the shop it would stall when rpms dropped when coming to a stop. He took it back but just made excuses that it was his combo and stuff.

I've talked with him several times, sometimes up to 1/2 hour just bull****ting, he knows what he's talking about and trust his refferal to powertrain dynamics.

Ive had steve tune two of my cars there @ powertrain dynamics, was very pleased with results both times, that dude really knows his **** and he will tell you what he is doing. I actually will be needing to go back for a retune.
good luck chris
