There are a couple places that I have seen in the phone book, but you would probably have to call around for pricing.

I doubt it. I was checking on a powerfc also and it didn't say it could be tuned without one. I remember I saw an advertisment for apexi in a magazine and it listed all of the apexi tuning facilities and there was one in Florida or is that titan??

EDIT-
By using the optional FC COMMANDER, the user can adjust and modify a wide range of settings

guess you can't

man. its another 320 plus dyno. i might just sell it. a lot of money for 10hp. but then again, if i go forced induction instead of na. i would already have one.

Unless you're gonna give it to me, keep it in the box for now and when you get enough install and tune it :) BTW would you happen to be viet and your last name is nguyen?

Theres secrete services that is closer to you, its about a 10 mintue drive from where I live and I also live in Clearwater. They arent certified by apexi to tune the power FC but it is a dyno shop, and I dont know if u can tune it without the commander. BTW how much did you buy the Power for?

If I were you, I would sell it, and if you keep it in the box and have it still in brand new condition, which I am assuming you do, you could probably just about break even. At that point I would go with a header unit. You'll see more gains from that more than likely. Fuel tuning isn't going to give you much power anyways, even if you do have intake, exhaust and header. You need something like what you have when you have head work, valvetrain upgrades, and other various internal mods done.

EVERYONE wanted one. so i decided to get it. thinking that they can hook up laptop to and to tune or tune like safc. its still brand new in the box. i'll look in phone book tomorrow and ask around for price. if it cost to much then. any one want to buy apexi power fC? haha

The Power FC can change when the lift disengages. Might be useful if your having a hard time staying in lift. The number is
571-1450 Iv'e only been to the shop once with some friends that know them, the shop looks pretty straight.

BTW what do u have you done to your car and what color is it? If you get the trial header can i have a test drive, I've never drove another GTS except mine soo i want to see if i can land lift in a diffrent year GTS =).

Ohh im not to sure about this but I think they can hook it up to a laptop and tune it without the commander. It just has to be a certified by Apexi shop. Im almost positive Titan Motor Sport is certified by apexi (still could be wrong) so they will have the software thats let u tune more extensive than the commander will and without the commander needed.
