Looking to maximize current modifications

I'd like to maximize my current modifications, and the Superchip blue module is not up to the task anymore. I have to retard my timing to run mid range and low octane fuel, and the shift points are too firm with the shift kit installed.

I am looking at getting an SCT eliminator 4 stage chip. I'd prefer not to have to take it in to a shop to get tuned.

How accurate and useful are the tunes setup by phone or email order? i.e. if I give them my mods, cam specs, tranny etc. etc. how will the burns be?

Would anyone recommend a company to order the chip and tune from? Any techs you'd recommend me speaking to? I'm not looking for the cheapest, I'd prefer to pay for a company's competence.

Also, any hints on the installation of the switch in my rig? I'd be all ears!


Many thanks for your time

M

I'd suggest looking into Sniper's special forces or Delta Forces software. It will give you the ability to build your own tunes based on your mods and the available fuel/spark modifiers. I have the SF and I love it.

Mail order custom tunes are pretty close, if your tuner is any good. Nothing compairs to a dynotune though.
