No Kpro / no AEM. Only OEM ECU unless you can prove your car is not street legal (aka it would have to be trailered there, no registration, photos of the car at the track).
i just received a response from Jeff after asking about his schedule. Looks like you’re right, he only tunes non registered race cars since March of this year. Wonder how that came about and more importantly who else can we trust for a tune in the metro area?

FWIW, when I was at Evans Tuning back in April, all three cars there that day were trailered in.

Trailered in with no stickers and plates? Any loopholes to get a tune from Jeff?

Etune is the best way at this point. With modern technology, it really is easy and pretty darn cool.

I used AP1chief (you can find him in the engine management section), you hook your laptop up to your car and connect wifi to your phone as a hotspot. He then remotes in and tunes your car as you drive around. For a full tune, it takes a couple of hours and he'll do follow up tune adjustments if you send him logs. It works out great.

As legit as they come. My car actually drives better than it was and that's def saying something. Plus the follow up free retune adjustments vs having to pay each time is great!

You just wont get dyno numbers - he runs a software dyno program which at least gives you a ballpark number.

This seems like a great alternative but what do you do if the kit isn’t working properly and trouble shooting is required?

xenocron is another ave, but you need to know what's in your car. You really have to know or bring the guy who installed it for you.

You can't just say I have a supercharger, anything that goes wrong and you can't fix, he charges you. I been there twice for my cousin car.

SOS is a better kit, but like all supercharged set-ups, it comes with maintennce and can't cheap out on the other items
