What tune would you choose?

So I live in the middle of no where in New Franken, WI (15 minutes outside Green Bay). I'm at the point with my car where i need a tune. What is my best option for self tuning my car to maximize power but having the quality?

I know Jan can remote tune, WMW, Mini Madness...have self tuners. Any suggestions would be grateful!

My mods: Alta 2.5" exhaust, Obx header, Alta intercooler, M7 AGS, Alta 15% sc pulley, Alta 2% crank pulley, Alta 5% Alta-nator Pulley, Detroit Tuned bypass valve, Shark Flash 93 octane, Plasma Booster, Sprintbooster

Not installed yet: camshaft, RWM 440cc injectors, Methanol injection

Thanks!

Oh man - you are opening up a can of worms with this post. Everybody has their own opinion on tunes, and usually the threads end up getting heated and go down the toilet. I suggest you do some searching and make your own decision. For the heck of it, I'll weigh in and say Mynes or WMW. I had an RMW tune, and was happy with it, but I won't be going back to them.

I don't have any tuning experience, but as with most things, I'd recommend talking to the tuners themselves and see which gives you the warm fuzzy sensation

Warm and fuzzy is salesmanship, Don't have time for that, I just tell the truth and go from there.

Hah.. I should clarify a little bit I guess. The OP should talk to the tuners and see which one seems competent, trustworthy, and likely to offer good customer service, especially if there are problems with the tune that need to be sorted out. My two cents anyway. If I'm going to give someone money, I want to be confident they're going to do the job right and not disappear once the cash has changed hands.

I can't comment on the others, because I've never used their tunes, but I really like my RMW tune.
