Yes but I'd just get a mail order tune from VMP Tuning or Troyer. Troyer will take you a really long time to get your tunes though.

One mail order tune is only $50 per tune and it should only take up to 3 weeks. Some people have gotten them a lot sooner though. It depends on what he's got on his plate at the time.

Tell him what kind of tune you want. Justin will also write gas mileage tunes geared towards performance.
