For those with zfg 93 tune

I don't have my Explorer yet but I have done quite a few remote tunes. You would be surprised how much they can improve the tune after logging sessions. On my other cars, fueling and timing and shifting were big changes. I would never purchase a tune from somebody that DIDN'T do remote logging. Every engine and trans is a little different. Dyno tuning is the best IMO but good luck finding a local guy with a dyno and ecoboost experience.
It's actually pretty reasonable for what you get. The can't tune without HPTuners or some other device.
If you think about it, HPTuners or others need to break the code so to speak to interface with the computer so they can tune. And they have to constantly do this as new vehicles come out with new security built into the computers.

He's not charging extra for the device, its $299 plus $200 for the 4 credits which are $50 each to license your vin. Thats how HP Tuners works. You can buy your RTD from anyone but you'll still need to put 4 credits on it which no matter where you buy it will run you $200. ZFG doesnt see any of that money, HP Tuners does. The $400 your paying for the tuning service is how he's making his money.
He'll send you the first file, and an email basically saying, hey go out and do a pull from xRPM to xRPM and data log it, send me the log back. If you notice anything weird tell him about it in your next service request when you send the data. Once he reads the data, he'll write a revison, send it back to you with new instructions, and so on and so on. Its a pretty straight forward and easy process. We had mine locked down with only 1 revision. He's got these things pretty well figured out.
