G&D and bluepower both seam the good ones to go with.

As for who's better, it's really apples vs apples. Which do you prefer?

Many of the cranny crew go to g&d because they are closer, however many of the easties (death351 classicau) tuned theirs at bluepower because it was closer for them.

Personally, i'll probably be going to g&d eventually, but thats only due to me falling into the cranny group, even though bluepower is closer.

Cheers

Falling into the Cranny group, sounds like impending peril! LOL!

I've driven Evan's car before and after he had a XRHP cam put in. Then Chris @ Bluepower tuned it to the car and the results were excellent!

Both places have great reputations among us AUvians so just go to whichever one is closer.

All the best with it.

Thats great. But this guy has got an I6 and is in Melbourne, so I don't see how this is relevant to anything.

JoesAU question was generalized if custom tunes from ford flasher tuners in AUs can produce good results. I have given a general example that a custom tune can do so in AUs.
