I am still waiting on my MBRP exhaust to arrive, but when it does, shortly after i want to get the SCT Xcal2 and tune my car. I'm thinking that i would get ahigh mileage tune, and daily driving tune, and a super agressive autocross tune. My car is an automatic (feel free to boo me) and i have the mods listed below in my sig, who is best to get a tune from?
who should i get my tunes from

randy. esp with the steeda intake. HE called ME personally to discuss it and assured me that I would be getting a proper tune. also I recived my excall II only 3 days after I placed my order. I had orderd from someone else on the 2nd and finally canceled my order on the *14th* after waiting around for a full 12 days with no contact or tracking number...
to be honest I think if you have the time and the patience, then anyone will send you a tune youll be happy with. but if you want it in a reasonable time and you want to be able to get ahold of someone that will help you out, then go with focussport.

Enter your zipcode and check with a local dealer if you really think you need it to be "dead-balls-on", since they can dyno-tune YOUR vehicle.

A "canned tune" or SCT value file tune works fine for 90% of the people out there.
If you NEED a custom tune, you can't get it through the mail (without it taking multiple attempts and e-mailing files/data-logs/graphs).
If you go to SCTFLASH.COM and enter your zip code in the top right corner, you can find your local dealer/tuner. You go to the dyno/track with him/her and they tune your vehicle on the spot. THAT is a "custom tune". Not something that was tweaked based on someone elses dyno run/vehicle [nothing wrong with it, but it is not "your" tune, it is from a "Similar" vehicle].
Obviously, a dyno-tune is optimized for the dyno. It has almost nothing to do with the street. It may have the highest horsepower ever! ...and drive like dung. There are a lot of considerations, driveability is a major one. Same for data-logging at the track. Anyone with a Racers-Pack can tell you it takes time and effort to get it right. If you do nothing but dyno-wars, get a dyno-tune and call it a day. If it is a trailered auto-crosser, get a track-tune and be done with it.
I just wouldn't knock someones product because magazine "X" did a dyno shootout and product "Y" had 1 HP more. It's not necessarily better...
I don't think you could go wrong by getting it from anyone listed in the poll, I always like someone I can talk to face-to-face, that's all.

Well I jumped on Tom's latest offer and am waiting to get in the Predator to see what kind of difference it makes. I have read here of people being happy with tunes from all of them, so going with someone close to you makes sence if they are the same price.
