    ok i got a qs.. i found a tuner who lives 115 miles away... he tunes out of his own garage...he claims he uses HPTuners and for 225 bucks he can tune my car which includes "full maf tune,shift points,cruising for better mpg's and 1 free tune later in life, he can remove the gov...i asked bout his previous work and he says he has done bout 20 cars or more...almost all locals cars,cammed,turboed,ect.... what do u guys think or say..is it a decent price? what else should i look for in a tune?

    Super serious. I run the Powrtuner forum, I know what makes you a tuning expert after all. It takes a minimum of 16 tunes before you reach expert tuner level.

    That was more sarcasm than your average person can develop in their lifetime.

    And it has no resonator so it sounds like a POS yet you still bought it.

    no offense but my buddiy has tuned many badda$$ rides. i grew up w/him and have watched many sessions. cobra's, turbo silverado's, lsx cars, no problems. but he almost killed mine. he wanted me to get a canned tu and then scan it to let him see whats up with these motor/trans combos. look some members here just look for a thread to insult someone..they are just dick heads, every forum has 'em...but u gotta read all the stickies u can and "search" all u can before u ask a question thats been asked 1000 times. they could have said it differently instead of how they did..

    I live in the states. Only 3800 Turbo cars without a resonator sound good. Anything with a blower and no res. sounds worse than a straight piped D-Series SOHC hatch.
