Or they send you some cables to connect your laptop to the car and instructions for them to remote access your computer (!), they send you a link to download software as well (!)

Um. How are they doing that? Are they sending you an entire ECM? Then you send yours back? Because that’s what would have to happen.

I think you’ve been scammed.

My thoughts are how can they tune a car without it being on the dyno. They might get it roughed in but I don't see how they can get it right since a decent tune takes three - four days and requires cold starts, hot starts, different outside temps and all this is based on tuning it right for the different mods a car has. An LS is not an easy engine to tune on a dyno, and many a tuner can't get it right. I guess I'm skeptical of a mail order map loaded onto a LS engine ECM and that it will be much good. But I could be wrong.
