well i've been researching for about a month now on where to get a tune for my freshly built motor. i'm new in the area and cant really tell the legit places from the shady. so far through some friends recommendations i've concluded to batleground motorsports. i have been in contact with them for about 2 weeks now through e mail and phone. their tuner is on vacaton i guess to jamaica this week but will be back next week. i tried getting an appt. in advance but as expected they're backed up and "will not accept any appointments" right now.
so here's the problem, i NEED a tune, the car runs stupid rich and i go through a tank of gas like some kind of V8 dragster and it's getting expensive. come dec. 4th i'm going on a road trip to maimi for a meet and i really need a tune so i know the car runs straight and can potentially be better on gas while out of boost. plus it'd be nice to have a dyno sheet to show at the meet.
my question is, this is a car community that has a lot of knowledge on the tuners in the area. where else can i go that wont F me over and make my car blow up. i've spent THOUSANDS on repairs in the past few years from rebuilds and i finally have the motor in good form. i have e mailed mahadivi motor sports or something and everything seemed good to go but at last minute a buddy had told me a few stories that made me change my mind.
i have had a tune previously by RLZ Engineering and for 300 bucks it was a PERFECT tune and i would go back but they are further away now than before. so what is around here that is perfect for my setup? which includes this:
built bottom H22 block, Hondata S300, turbonetics 62-1, precision 1000's and other supporting mods. on the previous tune it made 290whp but there was an oil pressure issue and the turbo failed on the dyno during the pull, apparently it completely locked up at 6k. so that was 290whp at 6k, which means there is a LOT more power waiting to be untapped.
thanks for the help guys, i figure it's always good insurance to ask the locals that have been here for a while rather than testing it out unaware.
