Whoa homeboy, you know I didn't even have a chance to tune. I was going to go down to T1 in Dallas for a tune when I got a safe cruising map. I wish a bad tune was the cause of my motor going boom, I would at least know what when wrong. Oil has nothing to do with tune, lol.

Anyways dude, before you get your panties in a bundle, my point was that 350 is steep for a street tune. Just another $150, you would have it on paper to know what your car is running.

Nice!! told u, u would love luiggi's street tuning, hell charge u 100 bucks for an hour on the dyno to fine tune ur map, if you want aswell. Glad to hear another tc owner likes his tuning, SHOULDA hit me up on SL to stop by mannnn! dont listen to these guys the deal is good that u get from luiggi, next time u come down my car should be running to, and who said u can tune with timing on street? luiggi tuned marcelo's car with timing and meth on the street.

Not taking sides or anything but, I've been on the dyno for the past month on and off (my schedule sucks) and had yet to come out with a tune that ran correctly on the street. Omar at CFT did the same thing Luiggi did and actually drove the car himself, held the laptop, and scan-tool and it runs amazing right now. I've got unlimited dyno tuning necessary to get the car absolutely perfect (which should be friday) for 400 bucks. If his car runs in the right AFR's and timing is adjusted safely and most importantly, he is satisfied with the outcome, 350 bucks well spent in my book. If it was a cut and dry, one time only street tune, I would say no to the 350 but if Luiggi guarantees his tunes by re-tuning for free and the dyno is only the difference in cost, then no harm no foul. Doesn't sound like you got ripped off to me. If anything, it saved you money by not having to drive to Orlando! Hope to see some numbers when you get everything pieced together!

I agree with rangerryda, if you say that you a free retune, and pay the difference for a dyno tune, you got a good deal.

lol 350 for a stret tune and an extra tune for other upgrades hahah thats alot lol. why dont you call up LANCE at machines gone wild and ask how much he charges lol! 500 bucks and no free tune! or how about this luiggi charges him 350 and does WOT pulls on the dyno and no free tune lol. and load on the street is more then load on a dyno. and as far as timing thats what he has the innovate program! it plugs to your obdII port and tells you maf readings, timing, AFR's and knock! and sorry but i rather do a street tune then dyno unless when i go to 22psi i have no choice cause i will be spining everywhere!! i also tuned by luiggi and my car runs great on 19psi! and pulls like a monster. matter a fact i raced another tc today on 22 psi and race gas but very conservative tune and i walked him on the way to the track. so either i have a freak motor or the tuner that tuned my car did a good job. and my afr's are at 11.8-12.0. everyone has there opinions so i mean if its alot for someone 350 by all means go by same amount on a dyno with WOT pulls and bye. but to be honest i would rather get street tuned since this is my daily driver. i dont care about my numbers as long as my car runs and drives good!!!! i mean i will love to know but oh well.

oh and justins that MBC has to work bro i dunno whats up with that it might be your wastegate springs or something not letting it open up or open up when it wants to much i dunno try it again but with that extra port on your vacuum block for the vacuum line coming out the MBC and the other line to the wastegate. let me know when you will be down here and we will set up a track day!

oh and if you can find a dyno down here where luiggi can tune fo cheaper he will do it. its not like he is making money on the dyno tune you will be paying the shop to rent out there dyno. i think some shops charge 100 an hour. if only luiggi had a dyno in his shop it would e perfect.
