Not at all dodgey, unlike mail order brides which more miss than hit.

A mail order tune is just a generic tune to suit a car with your mods. So if you had a car with intake, exhaust, etc you can buy a tune thats been done on the same type of car with the same type of mods to get more power out of it. Ive done it with my supercharged 6 and they just sent me out a chip with the new tune, shift points etc on it. Basically turns out a lot cheaper than having a tuner play around with your with your car on the dyno for a few hours to get every last killerwasp out of it, but it wont make as much power

Actually tuners that do remapping/tuning on a dyno start off with a generic tune (previous tune from another vehicle) and load that, then set other parameters that your car would need, this was done with my car when it was just a mafless from a reputable shop here in brissy

But there a some tuners with dyno that will just load a generic tune and give a power run, print the dyno sheet and be on your way
the only way to tell this is with a before and after printout....check the times the runs were done if they are within 1/2 an hour I'd say just a generic so you'd be better off with a cheaper mailorder

Don't be put off by this go and talk to a tuner (eg.chevs/ lsx garage)and ask whats being done its the only way to find out if they want the best for you and your goals

Don't get a mail order, OzTrack is very good but nothing compares to doing your car. What car and mods? I do a Maf tune from $550 in a manual trans car with stock engine and bolt ons, more for Mafless and auto but a stock engine never over $750, boosted and big cam stuff is more time consuming and more costly.
