    +1 for wanting a tune for a 5L. Greenfoam can't be reached through ebay at the moment either!

    Good luck with the hunt!

    best result would be get a tuner to do a tune on your car on a dyno for the best results as a mail order will be hit or miss and not tuned for your engine setup correctly

    I got a greenfoam tune in the mail about 2 weeks ago, you just have to be persistent.

    Yes he would have, bought it from Greenfoam's eBay listing.

    Greenfoam said recently that he want's to get back into the tuning game, as he has missed doing it.

    I got in contact with him about one month ago to get a retune, I have sent and received multiple messages regarding my cars dyno results and the fact that it's running extremely lean (the guy running the car on the dyno said it was the chip that was causing it) two weeks ago greenfoam disappeared and has not replied to a single message over eBay or email.

    I am now going to get my car most likely dyno tuned, as I'm over waiting to get a tune done by Greenfoam!

    A kalmaker tune is worth its weigth in gold anyway if carried out correctly.

    Kalmaker tune may be worth it for a heavily modified engine but the $1000+ dollar could probably be better spent on a mild car.

    That really shits me, as I was in contact with him from the 4th of October, the last message he sent me he had provided his email address and told me to send him mine. I have sent him a couple of emails to no reply, also a few messages over eBay and still nothing.

    cant beat a dyno tune for live mapping and fuel trimming finding the lean running spots and rich spots and finely tunning them out adjusting timing to suit your engine with its own mods . one chip might work well in one car but not all , " buyer beware of one tune suits all cars " , just my two cents . seen too many cats melted and valves burnt out due to poor settings .

    Mate I have to agree 100%. Every engine will give different power outputs depending on the condition of the engine, the way it's been treated and the oils it has had in it.
