If in fact, some have had problems with them I can assure you they are no where near the worst offender in the tuning world.
As to the other comments above, regarding sales ethics, and undisclosed facts etc. I have no vested interest in their company as I do all my own tuning. It was hard for me to believe they would not discuss various aspects of getting a "tune". A quick look at their site shows that they provide info on data logging, poor performance etc. in their "general info" section on the site.

This is not rocket science and working with the software only requires basic computer skills and the ability to attach the recorded file to an email. The actual tuning itself requires more savy... Dale should be fine once he can send some files/data out.

What's it take, cables and software? Should I download something to my laptop.

I commend Andy on his generous offer and trying to help you out but first you will need to check out a couple of things. Since I do not own the "EASE" system, is it compatible for your year. More importantly, send Alvin an email an make sure he has/uses that software so that he can actually read the info.
If Alvin cannot read or work with the EASE system, you can download Data master for free and get 20 free trial files.

I'm not totally convinced it's not my car. When we were messing around with it today, it was chugging, without the chip

This is what I was referring to in my earlier post, things need to right with the car which no tuning can help. Regarding F.P and timing, your tune is built around that premise/starting point, and always need to be verified before additional tweaks in the tune are made.
