Custom ECU Tune options around Florida??

Just got to thinking about what the hell I'm going to do for an ECU tune whenever the time comes (no time soon). And I couldn't help but think IDK of anyone worthwhile other than Fireballed! and LDG. No offense to LDG but I prefer Fireballed! cause I've followed their product longer. Which sucks cause LDG isn't THAT far away, read: willing to road trip.

Is there anyone else that offers tuning like these two vendors offer closer to Florida? In Georgia even...

What bothers me is that while I could send out my ECU for the base flashes, if I'm going to be spending money on an ECU tune, might as well do it right and get it dyno tuned. It sucks that there aren't more places that offer this...

Well when the time comes I probably won't hesitate, but I'm hoping that by that time something is available so road trips aren't necessary.

Plus I just really like what the Fireballed! guys have been doing. Like I said, I've followed their product for much longer and have talked with them about their product, etc. Just a shame their so far away, not about to do a cross-country road trip for an ecu tune lol...

I know what you mean - we have to do the long haul to get tuned. I spent some time w/ LDG/DMH at the Dragon. LDG has all the right stuff to perform a custom tune. At the Dragon I got the car tuned by LDG. My cars numbers to mods is way low and they suggested a leak and compression test BUT LDG pulled another 8 hp over the GIAC tune .

PS - I got a ride in Don's DMH No Hype car w/ LDG tune , car ran like a bat out of hell.

That's really cool about the LDG tune!

Just curious how loud was Don's car?

That's a bummer that your cars numbers are low but also impressive on LDG's part to still pull better numbers out of it. BTW, how much exactly is the LDG custom tune?

Yeah, how did the Stahl exhaust sound?

Since Don was on the throttle the whole time it was loud but sweet. The two pipes out the back looked good too - very subtle.

Now I just need to get my Mini figured out.
