socal ecutek reflash

Any tuners in SoCal that can do EcuTek reflashes and tune? I know there are a lot in norcal but never really heard of anyone in socal.

I'm fairly certain that Prodrive in SoCal does not do custom tuning. I think they offer reflashed ECUs for sale. I didn't see any dyno tuning services on their web site. They may do R & D as the U.S.A. branch of Prodrive but I think their main products are sold off-the-shelf through other distributors.

If you find a good tuner in the local area that's a way to get a more aggressive tune that still has a margin of safety built-in. An off-the-shelf tuning map is always going to be very conservative compared with a custom tune because it has to take into account that some cars are more sensitive to knock issues than most others.

In any case, if Prodrive does custom tuning I'm sure they would make a safe and reliable map for a reflash since their reputation would ride on how well they tune.
