    Officially...yes. Realistically...no. I've been looking. Stu from Inertia owns the equipment, but he has loaned it to a friend in Wisconsin!!! He can still do email tunes, and may even be up for driving it crazy for you to get a good log. But my search has landed me in Houston at Frank Racing. I haven't done it yet, but I plan to some time in the near future. Maybe after some heads.

    Inertias tuner is located in Wisconsin and is using licensed CMR software thats owned by Inertia to do tuning for Inertia. We do work predominately with email tunes and will tweek them based off datalogs to get the tune dialed in right, not "by driving it crazy for you" not sure where someone got that idea? Normally the owner sends the logs in and most of that datalogging is actually associated with drivability tuning. This is very effective from a number of standpoints. It costs less since you don't have to pay dyno time, you can do it on your off time and send the log in at your leisure so you don't have to take off work durring the day to get on a dyno. You can do a log one night send it in and get the tweeked tune back the log again and if it still needs work it can be tweeked some more. So this works better for someone with a busy schedule who can't take off for dyno time. Real world load and driving conditions more accurately show the load that the car is seeing so tuning based off datalogs on the road makes allot of sense. More likley then not the best qualified tuner is not going to be next door so it's pretty common to work on tunes in this fashon. The most difficult area of tuning is the drivability part and this can't even be effectivly done on a dyno unless it has a load bearing feature built in.

    If you do some research and find out whos providing the tunes that are working and the customers are happy with. I'm sure you'll find a good tuner.
