Arrow Tuning the ECU

I want to get my Truck Tuned but I don't know anyone that does that sorta thing. Have any of you had it done? I'm not just talking about buying a programmer, I want someone that knows what there are doing to go in and Tune my ECU. Any suggestions?

Ok??? So your telling me that you can't get your ECU Tuned? What about when people get their trucks Dyno'd? Don't they have people tuning to get more out of it to make more Power?

Oh ok, That's were I got the mixup I guess. My buddy with a Powerchoke was telling me about it. I didn't know if it could be done with our trucks or not. Thanks for the info.

Smarty is the closest we can get to tuning. Or Adrenaline with the custom programs you can create.

well its sort of possible to have the ecm "tuned"

back in the day before everyone was tuning these things there were a few companies that would tune the ecm.. sort of like what the smarty would do for you.. but it was very old school...your better off just finding a used comp box and grabbin some guages jmo

While on the subject, it may not hurt to have your cpu's reflashed.
