    delcowizzard for the V6, Greenfoam for the V8, although i dont think delco does them anymore from what I hear.

    None of the regular people do it any more and you have slim chance of getting a reply back. Just go to Mace Engineering's website and order one of there tunes. I have had no issues with it with my VR V6. Plus you will be supporting a site sponsor.

    I didn't mean it in an offensive way if that's the way you took it delco. I just thought rather then overloading you and greeenfoam. Mace do the same thing and their a business.

    ok say three VR's with exactly the same specifications had a memcal tune done, one by greenfoam, one by delco, one by mace, would the 3 VR's perform differently post tune, or would they be very similar, with the only difference being the man behind the tune?

    Mace use multiple tuners so you could even get a Mace tune and it would be different between each one.

    Are tunes a once off thing? meaning i'd get it tuned to suit all proposed performance modifications, even if i was take mods one at a time, over the course of a year, if not longer. Or would i require a retune each time i add a new performance modification?

    Depends on the company. Some companies supply a generic tune that will work with everything and others tune to suit the modifications. If that makes sense.
