Do you have a copy of AEM's software/ a program to run or modify the programming on the fic? If not all you may be able to do is view...

There has to be a refresh or a flash for the fic. Is there nothing on the outside? How do their tuners do this?

Check out Blood Enterprises in Auburn, i heard they do a great job on everything they touch.
I was going to get my 5.0 tuned there but decided to drive to Cali and get tuned at AED since AED tuner has his own 5.0 and everyday he tunes it so he know the ECU better than anyone else on the west coast.

Might want to take a look here, too, for stuff that may or may not be appropriate. (I dunno - makes no sense to me.)

I can vouch for Pina, although they are a DSM/EVO specialist, they do pretty much anything. Adre is great to work with and has done good work and tunes for me in the past. A few bays down is a popular Honda tuning shop with a dyno as well, cant remember the name but you can check them out too.
