    can't argue with their taste cause they know they were RB and add 50HP ... better than a tune

    eBay tune and caps, you are onto a winner

    To the OP, don't forget to see what the supplier will offer in addition to the tune as part of the overall package

    Things like warranty, free reflashes (after dealer updates), free tweaks after hardware additions, support.

    A few offer specials and logging hardware as part of the package

    I don't know of any Internet guys ?

    Do they sell CF stickers ?

    I do know of a couple of well respected tuners in Brisbane though

    For those that might be new around here, SF and I are real life friends

    Just friendly banter to lighten the mood.

    Best advice has already been given

    Talk to the locals, look at the overall package offered and pick what suits your needs/wants

    Plenty of choice out there

    yeppers.. this question has been asked a miyion times and there is no right or wrong answer.. CM is actually right in his comments about the things you should look for.. but reallya stage 1 tune is pretty much going to net you the same result across the brands. Go with who you feel comforatble with..

    That's what Candyman does when he hangs out with George Michael

    See, it was all going so well and you mentioned my BFF and spoilt it all

    To the OP, also look for important things like "no questions asked refunds", hardware discount offers, try before you buy offers, whether the tune is locked in or not, the tuners ability to "dial" in what you want from the tune.

    Don't get the veal, it's gone off (SF's smokey tune spoilt the shipment)
