I need help with a tune

I recently purchased a 2005 MCS and this is my 3rd mini. This time I'm going a little bit more extreme though, and I'm gonna need some help. When i purchased the car it had a Dinan Airbox, Dinan 15% pulley, Dinan fuel kit and Dinan throttle body. I swapped the airbox for an Alta Version 2.0 CAI, the Pulley for a Alta 17% pulley version 2.0, and I added an Alta 3% crank pulley, and Alta Top mount Intercooler. I'm probably going to purchase an Alta exhaust before I get a tune, but I would like any input from people on here. Where is the best tune I can get? Does anyone do data logging so I can get my car specifically tuned, or what is the best option at this point? Thanks for all the help in advance.

Congrats on the third mini. As for the best tune you will see in this thread what a question like that can do

Just make sure you get any tune, you will love it

Your options will depend on where you are located. Some of the custom tuners do travel around the US to perform tunes.
I suggest you contact RMW or Mynes who are both located in Southern California.

Since you have a Dinan car, you probably have at least a canned tune from them installed on the car.

I'm convinced people don't read the forum at all.

Do we really need another thread with this?

Popcorn time

Hey there StreetDrag03, and welcome to NAM

I am going to go ahead and recommend you browse through this particular section of the forum. You'll see lots of opinions and results from various combinations of mods and tunes from various vendors.

Good luck!
