Default anyone need a tune?

If you live in or near southern Illinois and you need a tune, good. I am trying to get Dave from the Whip Factory to come down here to Marion to tune my car, but he says I need to get at least 3 cars for him to travel. He is probably the best tuner in this part of the country if not the whole country. He charges 300 for the tune and the local shop charges 55 per hour. I have learned the hard way and been dicked by 3 other so called tuners. Dave is by far the best I have ever dealt with. If you need your car done and you live close take advantage of this opportunity and give me a call at 618-889-3298 or email dreed7235@hotmail.com

Yeah its only 300 to tune. The only hourly rate is from the shop, and that is only 55 per hour.

He dyno tunes it for power then street tunes it for drivability. The last time I had him tune my prelude si I drove it up to Chicago getting around 14 miles per gallon and who knows how little horse power. After he was done It made 350 whp at around 13 lb of boost and 348 ft lbs of torque. Driving it back home I drove around 75 80 mph for a sustained 6 hours and got 28 miles per gallon. The car ran like it was brand new until the turbo shot craps on me. Now I have a bigger one and dont want to drive back up there so please people help me out.
