Hey, I thought the idea of being in business was to make money, not loose it.
BTW, Who's the tuner?

That's odd, I thought he had his own shop now?

That's like having Moike tune at my shop.

uh, Ed does have his own shop. He does dyno tunes at gruppe-s sometimes, but thats still through his business (just used gruppe-s's dyno).

oh, and $849 is not an incredible price. the AP is $695, or $750 with tax, so that free tuning costs you $100-$150 I saw this "special price" on gruppe-s's post on here, but decided not to say anything

I think the deal is...Ed tuned anywhere and did use gs's dyno. But with the recent changes of ed doing his own deal and Mike opening up GST ed will not be tuning at GS any longer.

But I'm sure ed can chime in on his own behalf.

I couldn't read that thread and didn't feel the need to join the boards there.

Hope that's a typo, because that price is below Perrin's minimum advertised price.

Actually the $849 includes AP, dynotune >AND< choice of fuel pump or spark plugs (-1) installed, which as you all know is worth at least $100 if not more.

That just means he can only pro-tune via CObbs SW, so you have to use a cobb AP

If you dont have one, then you gotta buy one

Kinda silly if you ask me, ECUflash is the way to go IMO, and ecuflash for subies is 10x more powerful than ECUflash for evos, and TONS of evo tuners are using it
