The capa flash tuner is sold by many performance house's....ie BP,RDP,Autotech many site sponsers above.
Its their individual tuning expertise entered into the box.
Being your in Melb you have many local specialist to consult with or ask a fellow AU member who they recommend.

Mate give Chris at Bluepower a call as he definately knows what he is doing when it comes to the mighty FORDS and a great bloke to chat to, or if you're looking at a more expensive alternative but stuff all advice and personal attention give G&D Performance in Dandenong a call, but I did warn you.

Both are site sponsors.

Got mine done at HPF(Dandenong). I could not be happier with the tune. Marty set it up just perfect. They really listened to what I wanted out of the tune and its spot on. Mind you, I'm basing my comparison after a couple of disappointing experiences at another very popular tuning house. I gave them two shots at it but I'll never go back. Workmanship was fantastic, but they just would never return your calls, which is one of my pet hates. You never knew if your car was going to be ready or not- therefore organising alternative transport to work etc, etc was impossible. Maybe I just expect too much, you be the judge. I know there are good and bad stories at every workshop. But just through lack of service, they have since lost 4 grands worth of work.
