I suggest an email tune. Dyno tunes are so overrated. I don't drive my car on a dyno; I drive it on the street. Tuning it on the street simply makes a lot of sense for a street car.

I've had my EVO professionally tuned on six different occasions. Three on a dyno and three via email. The email tunes were so much better. I don't care how much time a dyno tuner takes, it will always feel rushed in comparison to a good email tune.

YMMV

Dyno tune, it's worth it and does things that just can't be done on the street (plus it's performed it a safe, controlled environment). Kansas City has a good dyno-tuner (http://www.mkcperformance.com/servic...-tuning-rates/) as does Minneapolis (http://www.dbptuning.com/services.htm).

I made the 1,000+ mile drive to get tuned by Shane @ DB (the shop linked above for Minneapolis). He's done all my cars (DSMs, IX, and X) plus my wife's WRX.

Boosted Tuning Jay at Boosted tuning is an EvoM vendor.

Mellon Tuning Chris at Mellon Tuning is also an EvoM vendor.

You can search for results threads. They are both very active on these forums.

clubEVO93 I'm very close to Memphis, TN and do road tunes by appointment. Do a search for threads that start with Mellon to get some examples of what to expect.

I 2nd this. Chad at MKC has done wonderful work on my tune. Also Mellon Tuning has done great things with a lot of my friend's evos. These are the only two companies I will ever go to.

I'm in St. Charles, but I know that AMS is 5 hours away (Chicago) Mellon is 5 hours away (Memphis) and MKC is about 3 1/2 hours away.

Make a weekend out of it.
