Best car tuner?
Really just asking what other guys have bought and what has worked for them?

HP tuners. It's pricey, but worth it.

Efi live and HP tuners are what the pro's use. They are just the "tools" needed, but they are not gonna tune your car for you, you still need to know what your doing to actually do the tuning.

If there are no great tuners on your island for a custom dyno tune then I would get a remote tune from someone like Jannetty.

Dyno tunes are arguably the best but remote tunes are very good and popular as well. If you dyno tune, make sure you can get a copy of your stock files and then have a way (device) to put it back if you have to without having to go back to the tuner. Popular tuners for the dyno shops are HP and EFI. They have more software/hardware to work with the dyno but I am pretty sure you can buy a portable unit to adjust parameters (if you know what you are doing) and put your stock files back if you have to. Popular among the remote tuners are SCT and Diablo (you can use HP and EFI as well). As you will read throughout this forum, Jannetty is one of the more popular remote tuners but there are others (Tampa Tuning, PCM of NC, etc.) that offer this service as well.

I have Several Customers in Hawaii currently so I am Positive I can help you with a custom JRE tune for your combination. The SCT device is best as it stores your stock files on the device for returning to stock, It will read and clear codes, it can do some of the required special functions, and is a very powerful data logger all in one unit, when combined with a laptop. You will get the Best Support Available in the industry with JRE, and the most experience with the Gen5 Platform. I am over 1500 Gen5 Camaros alone, So tuning your car will be a walk in the park on a sunny day. Once I have tuned your car, Purchase your parts from JRE and Tune updates are for those parts are FREE, again Unmatched Support with JRE. Ted. Ted.

Just got my car back from Ted @ Jannetty's, CAI, pulley, crank damper, headers, belt, tune (100RWHP package includes hand held tuner) unbelievable power!! Ted and his Team are true professionals. When I got there Ted was on the computer working on a tune in Hawaii. You can't go wrong with these guys.
Thanks Ted and Kris |
