Default Need Help with Tune..

Whats goin on Fellas, So im thinking of getting my truck tuned but I just dont know from who. I've been hearing plenty of good things about Wheatley but then again i just saw a post about him charging for everytime you get a new tune. is that true? I would like to know if Blackbear and Nelson are the same? what are the prices? Thanks for the help

I've got a Wheatley tune, yeah he charges you some for a retune, but that's because he does most d his in person and people think they need a retune for every minor adjustment that doesn't have anything to do with the tune itself. If you can, get the in person tune. Much much better. This way he can tune it to how you drive while you're drivin it. And you can tweak it to your likin with him right there

Charlie over at wheatley is a very nice guy helped me alot and was one of the few people that would tune my 97 and he might charge for retunes but unless your putting on a different sized tire everyweek or completely change your driving style you will rarley need a retune but look into the local guys for sure but both black bear and wheatley will have awsome customer service and will be well worth the money
