JRE v.s. RDP? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Ok I will prob go with JRE. He seems the most popular. And yea I won't have anything complicated. All exhaust/intake.

Btw when I bought my car it came with a CIA called "R2C Performance" I have never heard of this brand and have no idea why somebody would buy it when there are other proven/popular/better looking ones out. Also I don't here any suction from it like some do. Should I get a new one before tune?

Just to throw one more out there, l have a PCMofNC tune on our Trailblazer and the 2010SS which is full bolt ons and both are fast and flawless from the get go!!

I haven't gotten my tune from dyno Steve yet due to an issue with the hand held tuner I bought. But Steve has had best customer service I've experienced in a long time. If he is close to as dedicated with tuning as he is with helping people get the right products then I'm sure his tunes are top notch. I have no fear getting my tune from him. He has gone out of his way to fix an issue that I had with another company that had nothing to do with him just to make it right and help me out.

The R2C seems like a good air intake just not as popular or well known.

Ryan at GPI. If you want to datalog, he uses an EFILive tuner.

Why get a "mail order" tune when you can get into a chassis dyno by a competent tuner that's been around a while like RPM?

It's a one stop shop, great way to build a relationship with a tuner as well to discuss things face to face.

1KillerSS · 02-18-2015, 05:02 AM

Everybody is going to tell you who they went with, as its obviously the best choice, do some of your own research and pick a tuner based on that. Asking who is best on C5 will most likely just get you to who is the most popular.

Here is a bit of fun, ask some of these people to see data-logs of their tunes, then you'll see who the good tuners are.

This. Go get a dyno/street tune from RPM. There is no reason to mail order tune unless there is no one near you to tune it in person. Fran knows what he's doing. This is a no brainer if you're close to RPM. I have a feeling you'll be headed that way too when you find out how much you're going to spend on a handheld + tune.

BTW I like a lot of these other guys too... Ryan@GPI, Matt@FSP, Don@Slowhawk, on and on and on. Any one of those guys would send you to Fran if he's the closest. Just sayin.

A handheld tune is like $150 if you already have the device. Dyno tune is like $600. I just have simple bolt ons. No need for dyno tune.

I think you're going to do well either way, but I went with dynosteve on the SCT X4. I am extremely happy with the results.

Bad70supreme · 02-18-2015, 09:16 AM

Ryan at GPI is the best hands down! First off his own car has been the fastest car part for part on this site! Every car he gets his hands on goes faster then it did with the tune before his. This includes my own and my car was dyno tuned by a very reputable shop! All his bolton tunes have had these cars in the 11s or Damn near it! Do some research on GPI tuned cars and you will see.

Do you already have the device? It cost me around $600 to get my bolt-ons remote tune from JRE when it was all said and done.

$600 with the device? It costs $400 on JRE site but I'm sure I can get it for close to 200.

Also, for GPI how much is the tune and what device does he use? Is this the site: http://www.gwatneyperformance.com/cams_and_tunes.htm
