Matt,

Go see Shawn Church at Church automotive. He's really sharp and will do a first class job to maximize HP and reliability.

If I went FI, he would be my first pick.

Wow...$600 for a EU? 6 hours?

Just so everyone knows Sharif and Cprace tuned my car. It took them a week cause they could not figure out why the car was not making more than 430whp and dropping power at 5K rpms. Regardless they still charged me $600 for the tune. Some nights they worked until 3 AM trying to tune my car. This is not BS, I got a call from Eric at CPrace around 2:30 AM and he left me a message that they figured out why the car was not making power. It turned out to be my restrictive exhaust.

The F-CON SZ can be tuned by a Pro Dealer. You can trust this infomation because we are a CERIFIED PRO TUNER, we've tuned one, and we've upgraded it to an F-CON PRO. We also tune on a flat rate basis. SP may use the hourly rate becasue of the wide range of vehicles they deal with that have a vast array of modifications.
