I think I am going to tow the car to Cobb and have them tune it this time.

Its getting hard to trust tuners now days. So I figure I'd go to the main people.
I'd just rent a truck and trailer. I'd still have to buy a access port. I'm thinking ecutek sucks again.

with that kind of a motor why not do a stand alone? Like hydra or something like that.

every tuner makes a mistake. Just have to find the ones that do it the least and will take care of you when they do make those mistakes.
