Re-Map... Tune... Where?!

Ok, so after reading numerous posts of how a tune / re-map is far better than adding a piggy-back set up, I'm in the market to get my 05 MCS tuned.

Problem I'm finding is that the semi local shops are saying I need an engine managment system to tune it (MachV) and other Dyno shops can't seem to help.

Any ideas??

I'm in the WV, VA, MD area.

Contact Helix or Way, if your going down to MOTD they can tune you at the event.

Other tuners are on the sites, Clint (DOS) from the West Coast, etc. If you want to load a tune your self, some of the folks have a loading tool.

Your east, I would go Helix or at least start with them.

I'm in the same boat. Lots of upgrades coming within the next two weeks and I'm desperate for a tune. I spoke with Helix once and may give them a call back again for one more shot, but the parts that I bought and the parts that they promote do not coincide.

I've been checking out the Full Access software from Mynes for a bit now and have talked to some people using it. Everyone that has it loves it. Only issue is that it is pricey.

In terms of performance work, it looks like you only have a 15% reduction pulley. Any future plans for more work to the motor?
