i thought i had a guy lined up to do my tuning, he's tuned a lot of stuff, but never a UTEC. then last week, he wanted to do the tuning rightaway then i found out i couldnt make it, and out of spite he says he cant do it for 2 months at least . so anyways, im looking for a competent experience tuner somewhere in the NC/SC/GA area that can tune my UTEC, and program it for the BCS etc and hoefully not cost me an arm and a leg tune time b/c they wont be learning the system as they go. please let me know and TIA

 

forgedperformance in atlanta,ga

 

yea man ur gonna half to make a good trip. If distant doesnt matter and wanna get the BEST go Performance factory in FL. JT FTW!! Do not go to a back woodz place around here PLEASE

 

the only thing thwat worried me about going to FL is that those guys dont understand whats its like to have major climate changes... day to day. plus im in Asheville and the elevation is like 2300 ft. i know a guy in town had his blown G35's UTEC tuned in FL and now that he's over 2000 ft elevation the CEL comes on and the tunign shop says it's "normal with the elevation change". i mean, i know im gonna have to come out of the mountains just to find a good dyno. yeah, theres a DynoJet like 3 miles from my house, and those guys are cool and all, but its a Mustang shop. ive got a good hauler trailer my dad used to use his race car with and a badass tow vehicle, so getting there isnt so much of an issue, its just getting it done right.

 

Go to forged. You're close enough. Make an appointment and
take a drive. Don't fool around with this. PF seems tooo far.

::LL

 

anyone know what kind of rates Forged charges?

 

flat rate $500 at forged.

the CEL is a function of the UTEC, not the tune. You'll get the same light regardless of who does your car if you are using a UTEC.

 

so, no matter what, im gonna jave to keep a scan tool to reset my CEL?? sounds like a bunch of crap

 

common misconception...

 

lol, god forbid you guys hit 60 degrees and have to put on coats and sweaters

 

Function: Tuned - is close to the OP (Alexandria, VA). They are as good as FP or PF.

 

I had a great experience at Forged and I have no cel light issues. I have heard good things about Performance Factory too.

 

that seems kinda high, are you sure thats right? most places charge ~150 by the hour for tune time. seems like a shop specializing in 350Zs and that tunes UTECs all the time would be able to tune one with their eyes closed

 

lets bring this back up. i *thought* i had something lined up for saturday, but now, its up in the air. bump for info

 

If you don't want a nut-hugging sack-swinging response from the uninformed peanut gallery, you're gonna have to use the tried and true Search Button.

If you haven't burned a bridge with Function Tuned, they'll be your best bet for your locale, otherwise you're in for a road trip.

 

Funtion Tuned in Dulles??? aka Washington DC.. thats a 10+ hr drive. Forged is ~3hrs, but im not so sure about this $500 flat fee on something they could do with their eyes closed

 

Unlike FP or PF, Function Tuned also tunes for partial throttle, not just WOT.
Again, the Search Button is your friend...

 

the website says Dulles, but even Alexandria is NoVA, and im in Western NC. im not towing my car 10+ hrs based on one persons opinion, sorry.

also, i have searched the following terms, "NC" ,"north carolina", "SC", "south carolina", "TN" and "tennessee" with no vaild results on tuners.

i appreciate the input but if u are gonna be one of those people that tell people to search b/c you saw someone sometime mention something about a place that did whatever in a completely unrelated thread b/c your life revolves around post whoring, please, leave those comments elsewhere.

 

Take it to Forged then, they're your best bet. Good luck.

 

Wow at the personality skills. They suck.


Sam, have you called Forged to confirm?

Shoot me a msg later about this.
