    So I bought an email tune what do think?

    I bought this tune from a BIG Famous tuner what do you guys think?

    Car has a Halltech killer bee intake (maf forward) 160 stat and NGK spark plugs

    BTW I'm not using this tune but the guy charged me $300.00 for it.

    basic mail order tune, not much to modify with just an intake.

    spark table could use more work,
    missed some tm tables
    fan table could be better

    I'm so tired of people complaining about pro-tuners without posting name. Hp Tuners doesnot give a damn about "who" did what. They don't rely on sponsor $'s. They thrive on members who want to help one another learn. Post the name of "BIG Famous tuner". You can't expect people to hear the truth by being vague about someones results. Educate others...don't you wish YOU knew what to expect prior to purchase? Besides it lets the culprit explain the results to the masses.

    For a mail order 2009 Z06 7.0L tune I'm thinking...What seems to be the issue?

    Or the lack of them, some people don't have them, even when all they need to do is learn.

    PE/COT spark correction, IAT Spark, ECT Spark. Imop I think the tune was not some "Big Famous" tuner as the OP referenced but perhaps his own attempt at a tune for which he did not want to be flamed for.

    Lately I have seen so many posters that have less than 10 posts attempting to flame professional tuners by putting up their own tunes. We need some type of house cleaning here and moderation imop.

    Sensitive material ^^ But I agree.

    Right, I guess you never had 10 posts. After this tune I had my car dyno tuned at Horse Power Sales in Fort Lauderdale.
