If those located in SoCal are interested - we'll make it happen.

Tom,
Canned may not be the best term.
Canned food items come in different flavors as well, 91/93, cat delete, etc has been build sheet OTS software for years now, doesn't mean they all aren't the same canned idea
Unless the car is manipulated on the dyno each flash, to acheive higher results for that vehicle's specific mod set, individual VE, up to date maintenance, gasoline type - it is an off the shelf file that has been "pre-tuned" or "canned" on one car. All cars are not created equal.
And no, adding dynamic advance timing table to adjust up and down doesn't qualify here. And especially as the cars get older, leaks are present, mileage wear is present, the gap gets larger. However, like I said GIAC makes IMO one of the better "not custom" flashes however there's nothing like a customized touch.
Powerchip doesn't limit customers to SoCal for custom tuning as the tuner is physically mobile and can remote tune a file from their flash kits they send out to customers.
