Tunes
Where do you guys get your tunes? I got mine from Doug at Bamachips last year and I've hear some good reviews on some other people's tunes. So.... Just wondering, where do you get your tunes and what company do you think has the best tunes?
I have a Superchips Cortex programmer and it is just alright. Of course they are just canned preset tunes so you can't expect much. I'm looking to get a tuner with custom tunes so this should be interesting.

Not to be a smartass, but how does the tuner itself help? I have an Xcal 2 and tunes from Doug @ Bamachips but I mean how much better would tunes from say, LaSota be? Or how much difference would a Diablo Sport Tuner be than the Xcal 2 that I have now?

I don't know to be honest. I've just heard some tunes are better than others and some people really like the tunes they got and I thought maybe with some different tunes I could get a little more power.
I seriously doubt another canned tune will make much of a difference. The only way you would get more power is if you had a custom dyno tune. Even then it probably wouldn't make much difference without engine work and a power adder.
do it. a custom dyno tune from your local shop would be best. b/c of altitude and alot of other things. but if you wanted to take the cheap way out i would say nos is the best power to $ ratio.. ive seen k20 hondas make 100hp on a wet 50 shot.
but just like they said its not worth it to tune a nearly stock truck b/c dont you think the millions of dollars ford spent researching to get best tune on there stock motors.
nos or f/i just my .02
im new but i now my way round a performane shop

atm, i dont know how much i could reccomend fred....he was great and responsive for a week, and all of a sudden i just stopped recieving messages back from the guy, and its been about a week since ive had the last response.....and no tunes to work with...
get a wet nos kit from ebay. 300$ and a tune. and youll be more than pleased. i wouldnt put a huge shot in. but a 50hp shot would throw you in your seat. and ive seen stock 4.0sohc with a 75 shot...all matters on your tuner.
