Where to go for EFI Live in AB?

Looking to get a gentle tow tune for my 07, who in the Edmonton area (or further north) offers this service? Also, will I have to do a live tuning session or just tell them what I want and get a pre-written tune?
I'm not too familiar with this stuff but after a lot of reading I'm pretty sure it's the way I want to go.

Thanks

Nobody knows a guy...

That's ok I'm kind of considering diving into this myself. I've got a second truck in case things go south so why not right?

There are lots of guys that will do a tune and send it to you... the trick is getting it fine tuned from there. Starlite diesel is pretty good from what I understand.. among others,, I think that Rob (max'd out) is also doing dodges too,, and well, he is amazing with the chevs that is for sure

Thanks guys.
The more I look into it the more I feel like getting a tune and playing with it myself.

Just do it own your own. It's not that hard, just time consuming and lots of dyno time to get it fine tuned....

Well I hope a dyno isn't mandatory because the nearest one is 6 hours away. But hp numbers aren't a big thing for me more worried about EGTs and improving mileage if possible.

I'm not a reseller of efi live, but I have tuned a number of trucks. With that being said, Jamie is right, just get yourself a copy from an ATP or a Starlite or ect... They will give you a good base tune to work with, look at that vs stock, data log, data log, data log. Make adjustments to suit your truck.

There are only a few things that are adjustable that could cause catastrophic damage, and they are all labeled. Small changes data log and repeat, and you will be fine, even without a dyno.

Jamie, thats a weird one, must be unquie to 2007. My 2010 doesn't do that, not that I've really tried it to often.

From what Ross (the developer at efilive) says, it won't be till after all generations are released. So probably a year out at least.

Ok well we'll just have to make do. The 2007-2009 6.7 software is out now, right? I saw something about it on starlite's website.
