    I wouldnt even get a tune myself, not enough mods yet.

    Unless all you are really after is a trans tune and fan settings.

    You know it is funny every time I hear something bad about his tunes, it is always from someone who said exactly this, never from anyone who has actually had one of his tunes.
    But that being said with the few mods that the op has I wouldn't even worry about a tune.

    Agreed with OP, tune on a 3.6-3.4 that's the best range for a mail order tune, if you can go with a smuts tune if hes local enough, cheaper and better!

    I've seen his tunes. I'm not going to bash the guy as he seems like a nice enough guy but I personally would shy away.

    Zack Howard is one of the biggest idiots to ever sit behind a steering wheel of one of these cars. And, that's saying a lot, because the high school cheerleaders love these.

    I heard someone on the interwebs say that his tunes sucks. So I went back in the interwebs and posted how bad they are.
    Hope that helps !
