Sniper or Jestr ECU tune (or something in Orlando)

I want to go with someone in Orlando. If I get Sniper tuning and Mini updates my ECU, Sniper will re-map for free (because I'm here). I would imagine Jestr would do the same. Anyone have one of these or know of better in Orlando, FL?

Thanks

I do have an r56. They do tune them. Sniper has to have the ECU... So if you're not in town, your overnighting it.

You want to be careful with these "canned" tunes. They can actually cause more problems than perfromance gains. Only real trustworthy tune is a custom dyno tune.
