Default which tune

I was going to get a eurocharged stage2 tune but the price has jumped to 600$ I keep reading about a inmotion tune which is better. I know 350$ sounds better but what about performance.

You should compare the same type of tunes first.... the InMotion Custom tune would be the equivalent to the Eurocharge Stage 2 tune..... so it is $500 vs $600...

Both companies have advocates and great results from their customers....

Eurochage holds Dyno days in different parts of the country where you can get a full custom tune on the dyno...or get your tune updated off the dyno....

InMotion is mail in only...

Bottom line is, you pay your money and you take your chances....


I have a new Eurocharge re-tune as of last Thursday...

unless your datalogging and know what your engine is doing ie: afr's timing , boost, iat's and so on i would advise a tune at all. way to many folks tuning and have no idea what the engine is running like other than butt dyno.
if you heed all this e/c has free retunes and customer service second to none

Is the word 'not' missing here?
If not it makes no sense.

Honestly I want to try inmotion but after I got the eurocharge stage1 and gained 2 tenths and 2.7 MPH I got to go back with them plus the shop I deal with have an account with eurocharge.After I finish putting my wife thru school I can go all out. Thanks guys I feel the stage2 should put me around 12.7 my best was 2 13 flat passes at.109.9 MPH on a hot night and I got a heavy roadster so I can't complain.

so have you already tuned with e/c? if so retunes are free for life. buy the obdII to usb cable from jerry and tune from home or the shop as needed.

I have a stage 1 tune which is like 22 HP all I have is a custom single intake and my resonator is off.I was told that stage 2 is different so it would be 600$ by my shop I may have to call ec myself.

There may be a minimal charge to go from a Stage 1 to a Stage 2 tune with Eurocharged, but I definitely don't think it is the full price of the tune. Maybe a $100 or something because it takes a bit more time to dial in. Most often the Stage 2 tunes are done on a dyno, or at minimum street testing with datalogging, to help fine tune.

I've been re-tuned so many times by Eurocharged that I don't even know what stage I have! That's ok....11.74 1/4 mile time with the code-3 pulley is all I ever needed which has given me a perma-grin for life.

you dont have to pay the full price to retune. we can do it remotely for the cost of equipment plus custom dyno tuning fees if thats the route you are taking.

of if you want to go to inmotion go for it. Im sure we will have you back quite quickly.

it seems 2/3 of all xfire tunes we have done lately are from inmotion to us.

something to consider. jerry has virtually every combination of parts made for this car logged already. unless you have something new and exciting dyno tuning will get you some more but not a lot. real time tuning would help but again they have tuned for almost every possible combo of parts because there isnt a ton of aftermarket support and the market is so small. the tune you have can be tweaked but if your looking for another 20hp you wont get it

I think you have answered my question since I already have a base tune I wanted to know was there a tune above what I have already without having to buy a pulley,my shop said it was at first now yesterday I spoke with my mechanic he said I would have to get a pulley to get a custom tune. NOW Jake just posted if I read this right there is a tune over what I have.All I got is a 3inch cold air intake and resonator delete with a basic eurocharge tune,now all I was asking is there a better tune without have to buy a pulley
because I am also looking for a supercharger pulley.

the tunes arent actually staged tunes. it compliments the add ons you already have or will put on in the future. if you are already tuned for whatyou have on the car a dyno tune might help slightly and pick a few ponies up at a certain rpm range but jerry already did all the legwork with the canned tunes. until you add something that changes the way the air or fuel is delivered, ie: pulley , manis , injectors , headers, you arent going to change much by doing a retune
