You WILL Notice the Difference

Tuning increases power and torque from 5%-20%

A cold air intake or cat-back exhaust may look good and sound good, but they do not add much power – and you already know this.

Did you install bolt-ons and have to convince yourself it was better? The reason you cannot tell a difference with these mods is because the gains are very small.

Some Euro and Asian vehicles can't be reflashed through the OBD2 diagnostic port.

These vehicles require us to remove the ECU from the vehicle to program the tune calibration. It takes more time and labor so it costs more.

In House Deveopment

PCM Tuners Stage 1 domestic vehicle tunes are custom developed in house by us. These tunes are ideal for vehicles that do not have a ready made tune file available. This tune service is intended for vehicles with bolt-on mods that will trigger a check engine light (CEL) or diagnostic trouble code (DTC). Typical examples are headers, non-stock diameter cold air intake, decat, O2 lambda off, and more.

Datalogging. Street Tuned.

You drive on the street. We tune on the street. This service includes road testing and data logging to ensure the tune is completely calibrated to your vehicle. We use Wideband O2 sensors and external knock monitors when needed.

Custom Options. Popular Add Ons.

You're not quite at the Stage 2 level. Maybe you have long tube headers or full exhaust. Lots of cars at the "full bolt on" level will need this service. Or maybe you're looking to grab some extra attention with pops and bangs? A pre-programmed reflash doesn't quite get it. you need someone with lots of experience who can make the extra tune calibration changes to get you going. This Stage 1 is the service for you.
