FS is pricy and would still be the same deal with back and forth revisions. (unless you get the box tune which is what Jamie is talking about)
DaSilva $200 an hour... I went, I got the HP I wanted, they treated me very good, gave me a deal on the price and pushed every HP out of her that it would allow without pinging.

Now for those who say I wasted my time and money  <_<
The HP number was after the car was running for around 3 hours, about 15 pulls (80-160KM @7000 RPM) So when she's nice and cold, I expect a lil more to show.
But I did get close to the 20Hp I figured  :P

So really its up to you want you want. Either place will sell you the tune and Xcal, just don't let them sell you the New Xcal with the Bluetooth LCD screen lol. Not with what it is. Also if you find a used Xcal2, it does that same as the 3, just a tip.

im sorry john, but you did not get 20hp from the IM, stock a duratec 2.0l will make roughly 113 WHP, so with all of your mods, including tune you have made 20 hp.

now even with getting the dyno tune done for 200 an hour, you still have to buy the xcal2 for another 400$. you are looking at 700$ to start for custom. it is an absolute waste of money IMO unless you need it. only reason FS only made 113 was because the IM and the check engine lights. it is made for intakes, header, exhaust combos, cams and TB, not retarded IM's for show purposes. with what he wants, either a tom tune or FS will do fine. even a steeda one will be fine. you dont need major tuning for lack of modifications, its just pointless.

need i say more? i have done this and seen othes do it, box tunes are fine. im running at 12.9-13.1 ARF at WOT and cruising highway at 14.5-15.4 AFR at about 3000 rpm at steady throttle. that is absolutely ideal and needed no revisions and i am more modified N/A currently then most.

end thread. pick a tune and call it a day. just remember tho, FSwerks does more for the focus community then Tom does. :)
