While some of you know that I received a good deal for being my tuner's first stock Z to drive tune, I now understand the cost of a tune. Down the road, when I do more mods (exhaust, intake plenum, etc...), I am ready and willing to shell out the money for proper tuning. I suspect I will wind up using the same tuner, even though some have been having communication problems with him - I have the option of scheduling a time to drive my car to him instead of e-tuning.
You live in Austin, why wouldn't you just take it to UpRev? Unless that's the tuner left unnamed.

Because I didn't go with UpRev (see sig). At the time, I wasn't even looking for a tune (after all, I was stock except intakes). But I came across an opportunity to get one at very little cost to me, so I jumped on it. I don't have a problem giving the name of the tuner, I just didn't think it would be relevant to the thread. The disclaimer was more to explain that while I got my tune very cheap, I now have more insight into what's involved in tuning - I would pay full price for a tune without question now, whereas before I never would have considered a tune until my mods made it necessary.
