Supercharged Tune **Recommendations**

Looking for recommendations for a Gintani Stage 2.5 Supercharger Tune.

I need a tune for E85 and 93 octane.

I contacted Gintani and Alex @ Alpine already but Alex won't tune a Gintani kit and Gintani wants a lot of money for a canned tune.

I also contacted Mike @ BPM and he didn't respond

So who else is left that would be a good fit for my car.

Don't know that much about it, but if it were me, I would tune it from the same company that the kit is from. They have tuned countless of cars on that same setup so that is the best bet. My $0.02.

Mike can get busy sometimes. Leave him a message and try again in a few days. He's really good about customer support and will most likely be able to help you out with your situation.

My preferred choice however the price I received would be the highest I ever paid for a tune.

I've had modded GTRs and Porsches and the tune was cheaper on those cars.

Pretty sure it's a canned tune as well so that just makes it even worst to spend that amount of money.

Give him a call, you'll get a faster response time.

I would wait until you at least talk to BPM. He has a good track record with super chargers on our models.

Called him, spoke briefly. Best price so far by a lot however it kinda seems like he won't do an E85 map unless I have a flex fuel kit, but I don't want a flex fuel kit. All I plan on doing is a E85 gauge that lets me read the ethanol content. I don't want a AFD kit.

Our call ended up getting disconnected and I didn't call him back. Pretty sure it was on my end as I have bad signal where I am right now.

Yea that's understandable. If I hear about a tuner who's able to accomodate those specifics I'll be sure to send you a pm. Best of luck with the search

BPM will not touch Gintani SC'd cars.
Otherwise, for any other supercharger he is great.
