Default Any Decent Unichip Tuners in Northern or Central California?

I'm looking for a dyno tune from a reputable unichip tuner...willing to travel into northern or central california to get this done. Does anyone have any tuners they would suggest?

Thanks in advance,

That would be a nice little road trip! I believe you can contact Unichip directly and they should be able to provide you with some names that might be a bit closer to you.

Jack Friedman was "the man" at Unichip a couple of years ago.

I have thought about it, but after the crappy canned tune it came with...I have a real hard time wanting anything else to do with them. If you don't believe me then why do I have WOT A/F ratios of 15 to 1 when it should be in the 12 to 13 range (I have my own wideband). I picked up my chip in person so I have even been to the unichip shop and met the people. If I had the capability to tune it myself I would do my own road tune with my wideband, but the standard unichip does not give you that capability.

Anyone else have any input on where to take it???

In my opinion, all the more reason to take it and your truck back to them. Give them a chance to make it right. Show them your data, don't just be pi$$ed off at them.

My .02. Now I'll .
