Hampton Roads Tuner?

I tried a couple of searches, but came up empty... Has anybody gotten (or heard of) a tune from a shop in the Hampton Roads area? I've heard of a couple closer to DC but if at all possible I'd like to avoid the 2.5/3 hour drive. Also, any recommendations on which tune to get would be greatly appreciated

Yeah, I've seen a lot of your posts here in the Mid-Atlantic thread, but Millersville is 3 hours and change from Norfolk. I've definitely considered the drive up, but I'd rather not you know?

Ouch, sorry, I didn't realize that Norfolk was that far. If you decide to go with Visconti, if you buy a datalog cable/dongle, I can have it set up with your license and email you the tune file to upload. If you're interested, I'll double check and let you know how much it would be.

I might be. I was kinda hoping for someone local that could fine tune/update the tune as I get more parts.

There's a huge lack of support for the Subaru community down in the HR/Norfolk area that most of us over on NASIOC and IWSTI usually just drive up to Mach V in Sterling or even further north like IAG and Agile in MD.

There are a couple shops that I might let them perform service on my vehicles, but there are varying opinions of all of them.

Let us know when you're ready. We can provide you with a custom dyno-tune using the Ecutek ProEcu.
