This point has already been made, but I do want to pitch in and agree wholeheartedly with brichard0625 and gmookher - get a tune. Who you get it from right now isn't as important, since they are all coming from ECUTek and you'll get the RaceROM features and basic stage 1 tune either way. All three of these players will tweak the map further after receiving datalogs from your specific vehicle.

Visconti and Perrin are both ECUTek Master Tuners. Not sure what difference that actually means at the end of the day, but since ECUTek went ouf ot its way to make that distinction, I figured I would throw that out there. Maybe it just means they can sell you some additional products or services that may not even be relevant to our specific platform.

All three of the ECUTek Tuners that have tunes for our platform have proven to be pretty reliable as far as customer service is concerned.

Yes, Visconti has a lot going on right now, so you can decide if that comes into your equation or not, but like others have said, the man is an absolute machine and goes after tuning with a tenacity unlike what I've seen before. If you don't need a whole lot of hand holding, and you're patient on getting his attention (if needed), then you cannot possibly go wrong with Visconti.

Perrin has also shown promising work and has satisfied customers going to bat for him before he's even officially released the product for mass consumption. I've had some offline conversations with him regarding the work they're doing and I've already invested in some of their other products. If you need reassurances that your product/service is backed by a reputable company with resources available to handle your needs, then Perrin is the way to go.

FA20club.com came on to the scene after both Visconti and Perrin, but they've got quite a few vocal customers that have provided positive reviews. It appears that they're pretty flexible, very responsive, and have a delivery model that puts Dominos Pizza to shame. I haven't had any opportunity to deal with them, but from what I've seen through others, you can't go wrong with these guys either. They may not have the history or ECUTek Master designation, but their track record is proven by the feedback provided on these forums by some of our peers.

Cost-wise they're all about the same, so as far as I'm concerned, you can't go wrong with any of them. Just do it.
