Hey man if money is a problem there is a guy that does street tunes for $80 it would be the same damn thing as if you where to take it to adam. Dont start a thread if your going to be bashing a paying vendor on evom over someone that is not a paying vendor. Its fine to talk about how great the man is anyone can tune a car crap i could do it if i really wanted to pick up a book and start learning.

I am not bashing anyone, I have not said one bad thing about either place, I love them both, I have an AMS FMIC that I just purchased and got installed. You are way out of line or you are simply misinterpreting everything you are reading. I am simply asking what one place can do or will do that one cannot, and if there is something very important that I will be missing out on if I went with devo instead of AMS, I am simply getting some feedback from different people.

I have been known to MIS-read stuff in the past, but this is a pretty straight forward question. they BOTH will tune your car, and do basically the same thing, the only difference you will see is the "finess", the fine tuning, and the expierence in tuning the Evo's. I think that goes to AMS, again, you get what you pay for. it is more expensive for a reason. enuf said by me. I have offered my assistance to help you out.................

I knew it was meant for jmartinez, I am not upset, just giving you some of my "personal" expierences. Good luck, and keep us posted, with which "camp" you go to, and how it turns out.

As was stated its almost as if you have allready chosen and are looking for a major reason not to go to DEVO

I cant speak ill of anyone at DEVO, we are very close to adam. When it comes to tuning an evo you are not paying for the service but the experience and know how that goes into the service. In that field NOBODY in my eyes is better then Martin. He know the evo in and out and had put out more well rounded - high HP evo's then anyone in the chicago area....maybe the nation. You bought a $30,000 car, do you want to find the lowest bidder when it comes to tuning the engine?! Good luck in your decision

You make a good point Eric.

Adam I think that means you should raise your prices

Just trying to get an understanding of the technical methods that different tuners use, I don't really understand exactly what tuning a car entails, I was trying to find someone who could explain why one places tune wouldnt be identical to the others if they just load a map that has the right info for the exact mods on the car, I dont know if there is math involved or what.
