Talk about a thread full of fail!! Why do professional tuners charge as much as they do? Because they are PROFESSIONAL tuners.., they generally have a shop to pay for!! A guy that tunes on the side can afford to do it cheaper because he has a day job. NOTHING wrong with that.

Do any of you have any ACTUAL info or are you just a bunch in Internet dorks jumping on the bandwagon of hate and posting out of your asses?

Then again, I guess you can never truly be good at something if you misspell words and don't rip people off!! Almost forgot, you have to live on the forums too... As if every respected tuner in the industry does so LOL!!

So when you do your crappy $70 road dyno's, do you always break the speed limit? Or do you follow the laws just some of the time?

I'm self-tuned via Tactrix... but I would never offer up that kind of service without proof of map safety, power, reliability, and giant hairy *****. Blowing up your motor is one thing. Blowing up someone else's is a whole 'nother ball game.

Lets not make this a ROAD TUNING VS DYNO TUNING thread please. Because that's not what it is.
Its not 2005 anymore, even the mentally handicapped have realized that road tuning is in no way shape or form inferior to dyno tuning.
There's only the traffic violation argument left to argue. And most modding their cars know the risks and take them willingly.

The guy might know what he's doing, or he may be an idiot, but the point is he's going about it all wrong and I highly doubt he gets much business. I wouldn't trust my car and money to some joker that doesn't know how to properly put together a Craigslist ad and posts silly noobish statements to promote his tuning.

In before the flame-fest.

Reading comprehension wasn't a strong skillset of yours, was it?

Nice to see that you still take the internet far to seriously



However, ignoring the dick swinging contest, go ahead and quote the person that is trying to make this out to be a Road tuning vs. Dyno Tuning thread.

No one is making this into anything. The thread will eventually end up going in that direction and I simply asked that we not take it in that direction. Come out to the Thursday night meets and see how serious I am
Thursday crew can vouch

Please explain where I am being a 'keyboard warrior'... I'm simply telling you to point out who you were referring to when you said the following.
