I'm in the process of getting my tune from Mellon. Mellon has been very responsive, he has answered all of my stupid questions, he has done a very good job of explaining the process, etc. Mellon, and the great information on his web site, have made the process very easy on my end.

In summary I'm not commenting on the tune (yet) because it isn't finished, and I'm not qualified. However, I am very qualified to comment on customer service, and Mellon is first class in that area.

thanks Dan! I promise the quality of the tune will meet or exceed the service

I voted for Tobz at Rhino Liner in Longmont because he gave me options and kept me in the loop during the whole experience. He also did a lot of work to get his ecu flash to work on my vii ecu which he didnt get paid for.
Thanks Tobz!

PS stock ecu

JEstr all the way! I just met up with John about 20minutes ago on lunch break and he was able to make a few adjustments right in the parking lot. Great tuner!

Thumbs up Optimal Tune

Went to DTM over a year and a half ago and haven't gone anywhere else since.

Parts & labor prices, workmanship, etc are top notch!

Nick will stay until 3am the next morning working if he has to to get you your car...and trophies that DTM has garnered in the recent Time Attacks (Modified) are proof enough that his engine work and suspension setups are the best!

(of course a good driver does help)

** This was an unpaid endorsement and is in no way representative of everyone's experience at DTM...but it probably is!

Voted: SG Tuning with EcuFlash stock ECU.

Tuned by Simon Guo in Reno, NV. This guy is fantastic and does amazing work! My car went from 12.6@108 on SAFC II to 11.8@115 with his race gas tune using Ecuflash. Look at my sig. and thats what I have stock clutch, internals, and turbo.

Scott @ TTP is working on mine now. Can't give results of the tune yet but customer service is A-1. He's been really helpful and always quick about responding to my questions.

Tuned by AMS

Tuned twice! Chris Black knows his stuff. Street tuned for real power, not just numbers.

Tuned by Bryan @ GST (Razorlab on this forum) on ECUflash with a GM 3-port solenoid.

Superior tuner who was one of the first on the West Coast (along with Andy @SpeedElement) to use ECUboost as opposed to an MBC.

Bryan was great. Even drove 5 hours north to get tuned. Will repeat this process when I'm done with the next round of upgrades I now know a lot more about ECUflash, and Bryan gets a major thumbs up from me.

Was tuned previously on a piggyback by someone who thinks 10 counts of knock are acceptable.
