What part of Northern MN are you from? I am from MN and I know of two guys in MN who tune and have HP tuners. One guy is from Rogers MN and the other is way south in Austin MN. If you join up with MNclubGP.com post something about a tune and I am sure one of them will respond. It also depends on your mods and how far you are going to go. I bought a PCM 1.0 and its been nice but I didn't think it was really worth it since I have been adding more stuff. I am gonna need to do a custom and have it overwritten now anyways.

I was mostly speaking about Brian's Dyno tune work. One of the best...thats well known. I wouldn't use a canned pcm myself.

My problem with Intense's dyno tuning is the cost. It's super expensive to be dyno tuned by Intense when compared to what ZZP charges, and Matt does excellent work with the dyno. My Monte is proof of that.

well i haven't had internet in a few days, but this is a lot of info to take in right away.

The zzp, milzy debate is still up in the air for me though, they both seem reasonable, but zzp seems preprogrammed for more changes than the milzy pcm, and idk anything about tuning so i wouldn't know what to tell him to change really.

also, i've gotten the exhaust replaced with a zzp downpipe and a k&N intake but i'm still planning on doing more so idk if i should wait too to just get a custume tune.

Pure2sin, i'm between Duluth and St clould mainly so if you say one is in Rogers that would be great but like i said, idk if i should wait to get like the zzp's powerlog and Hv3 before i get a pcm or a tune

This is helping me out though to everyone so thanks a lot

Maybe search around where you live for somebody local who can tune your car?

I would advice not going with the powerlog. I've heard that after time the welds on the powerlogs crack and go bad. You're better to just go straight to headers. They're actually almost the same price as a powerlog too.

But yeah, I still say if you must buy a box pcm then go with ZZP.
