Hey John, do you run an SCT tune? I know the Orlando area (being the home of SCT) has several SCT tuners and I just wondered if you could recommend one. I've only got one here in my area and he doesn't have his own dyno and is very expensive. (He qouted me another $350 for dyno time/tune/reburn - yikes!) I'd like to get a mid pipe on my 02 and then have it tuned again (since I added the plenum and TB without the benefit of another tune - I'm sure they could pull a few more horses out of this mix).

I have a long list of mods, but the important power mods are the ones I listed. There is a few mods listed on my site that I don't have anymore like the Densecharger and aluminum flywheel. Suprisingly, I still have the stock clutch (65k miles).

so how much did the entire tune cost you? Did you just have to pay for an hour or two of dyno time or did you have to purchase the sct handheld tuner or a chip as well? I may have to take a ride to St. Augustine soon Off topic but does anyone know of a good tuner closer to tallahassee?

What's up David? I don't think he's done a nitrous car yet because he just opened it the other day. I'm sure he can do it, because he starts out with a pre-set SCT tune and goes from there. The only thing that sucks is that it may be hard to completely tune it without emptying the bottle.

BTW, did you get my PM about swapping the shifter bezels?

website says 150 per hour for dyno tuning, and 300-325 for the chip, it also says "We offer package prices with wideband dyno and chip / flasher purchase". I just thought you may know the package price.

I just moved to St. Augustine from Jax. I had no idea about these guys. I've been going to Reinharts in Orange Park to get my tunes. Nice to know I have options now. Thanks for the post.
