Ok I went in the lounge and had a read! The idea about flying the tuner out from Z Tune.....Z Tune is long gone they folded quite awhile ago. I did some research to buy a up rev licence (this is according to an Edmonton member that bought his own) is $580 to his door Direct from uprev I have seen other shops sell for $600 + shipping duty ect, that gives you $150 to get your car on a dyno and tuned. If you look into flying a tuner in it is typically $1000/ tune with you supplying the tuning device uprev/ COBB whet ever device you supply yourself. This is as cheap as you will get with a dyno tune. I have yet to talk to Cam about any of this but I plan to next week as I have to order some parts from him. I will try to find out why he wants money up front I under stand the genesis deal went south leaving him with $5,000 with of software that he did 2 tunes with, so maybe uprev charges shops to a software fee? I don't know but I don't get it either.
If anyone is wondering Lloyd explained his relationship with Cam in the lounge, I will explain mine. I am long time customer of his that over the years became friends with him, I am not however here to drum up business for him he is usually booked months in advance for tuning so me pushing a couple tunes for him likely wouldn't make or break him he appreciates all of his customers he just docent need me to find them for him, I am here because I would like to see someone local with uprev so I can turn off some lights on my dash and have a tuning option for my next car. I also support him because he supports us at last years G/Z meet he put on a free BBQ at his shop for us! He never once pushed anything on us or even brought up the fact he owned a shop unlike other shop BBQs that felt like a constant sales push.
