Dynos and tuners in atlanta area??

[ChefJ]

Need some help finding a dyno shop and tuner in atlanta. I'm having a turbo installed on my s2000 and need to run a baseline dyno and have it tuned. Thanks for any input.

What kind of software are you using to tune it?

[Tracy]

[Big Baller]

Dan is the man with AEM.

Yea I gave them a call. Labor is a little high and the dyno time is twice what I was paying in Michigan.

Can't go wrong with Main Stream. They have built a 600whp S2000 from the ground up, tuned a 250shot nitrous/Supercharged S2000 and other Supercharged S2000s.


They can pull your S2000 apart and put it back together blind-folded.

Their turbo S2000 is featured on their website also.

Edit: Man, looking back at this post... I should be making commission for this! Just an FYI, I don't work there, but they built my 600HP Honda from start to finish. They know their stuff.

you paid $63/hr for dyno tuning in Michigan!!!!!! That's the sweet deal there! or were you saying that they can tune the AEM in less than 2 hours? Either way if he can tune it in 1 hour, he's the man!

Good luck with whatever you choose

I agree. There is no way he is going to tune the AEM in 2 hrs correctly unless he is a tuning god. There are a LOT of tables to go through. Maybe he just did the main fuel and ignition tables, and didn't touch all of the auxiliary tables?

Just dialing in engine start (hot & cold) can run you around for a while.

Give Mainstream, Topspeed or Balanced Performance a call. I know Mainstream rates are reasonable.

[boostedb16]

[Vteckidd]

Race Gas

Pump Gas


Our S2000:




We can tune AEM, have done it on several S2000s. MainstreamPerformance.com

I can also say that Batlground is a good AEM tuning shop.

you will not be dissapointed with either of us

[Tracer]

Mainstream Performance, you cant go wrong with them. You cant beat their prices and the really treat their customers extremely well.

I have the AEM in my Mustang. I know of 3 tuners in the Atlanta area that know what they are doing with the system. I'm sure there are others, but I do not have personal knowledge of them knowing the software intricacies.

1. Claudio Taveras (ClaudioRX7 on here/lives here now) - has been to the AEM class and EFI U classes also - http://www.tuningtechnology.com
2. Dan (Batlground) - I believe has been to the AEM software classes - http://www.batlground.com
3. Sharif (Forged Performance) - has hosted EFI U classes - http://www.forgedperformance.com

Also, Chris Macellaro is in Chattanooga, but comes to Atlanta to tune. He is a EFI U instructor who is AEM certified and is very familiar with the software. http://www.macellarosperformancetuning.com/

I've never been over to Mainstream, so I have no idea about them, if they say they've tuned them also, that's another option also.

I was told that the AEM guys flown out from California to give Dan the classes. All because they wanted to be able to recommend him. This makes me believe that he is a good installer and tuner. But their rates are a little high. I will be making some phone calls tomorrow to various shops that you guys have given me contact names to. I also need a place that installs diffs. I just purchased a 4.77 final drive and need an install shop for that aswell. Thanks again

[iloveboost]

Main Stream tore apart an S2000 diff and installed a 240 diff. I'm sure they can also help you out with that.

Come to think of it... Mike has an AEM EMS for the S2000 that's brand new in the box sitting in their lobby.

That is true AEM came out and gave Dan the class, I don't think there was much they could teach him other than some shortcuts.

Remember you get what you pay for especially when it comes to tuning, I've had cars tuned by several people, Dan is without question the man when it comes to AEM, just don't expect it to only take two hours, quality takes time.

most dyno shops in atlanta are charging between $140-160 an hour. Big Baller is right, dont just base your choice on money .

We are primarily a honda/acura shop, and our S2000 beat Full-Races s2000, we made 600whp on PUMP gas an we built the car from the ground up with OUR turbo manifold, OUR top mount custom Vmount intercooler, twin wastegates, built motor, etc.

We also installed a Nissan J30 LSD as the stock differential could not support the power we were making. we have lots of experience with s2000s. We tuned Southern Customs widebody s2000 that was comptech supercharged with a 250shot direct port nitrous with AEM.

We tuned Seymour222s AEM comptech supercharged S2000.

we are more than capable.

Batlground has tuned numerous AEM setups, even though we are "rival shops" i have no problem reccomending them as well. Dan is very knowledgeable and can def handle the task.

TopSpeed Tuned Champ Coupes setup which is a turbo S2000 with AEM.

Balanced Performance has a tuner named ED that can tune AEM as well.

best thing i can say is call around, feel everyone out, and make a decision based on who YOU think can do the work to your car most effectively. When it comes to something as vital as tuning a turbo setup, especially on a high compression motor, price shouldnt be the only thing your looking at.

good luck, if you call us tomorrow my name is mike

Really man it's simple MAINSTREAM PERFORMANCE!!!!!

You are comparing Georgia rates to Michigan. They are cheap compared to California rates, as long as we are doing that lol

Batlground or Main Stream are the only two you should be considering IMO.

[Tracer]

Just pm Mr. KiDD or call them tomorrow after 10am

[CHADbee]

i have nothing to offer this thread except to say boosted s2k's are sex on wheels :idb:

[det kid]

dug at topspeed the is one of the best tuner from the southeast.u can even ask dan at
batlground about him

[112480]

Look at it like this out of all the shops mentioned in this thread what ONE Shop(person) has shown you(picture proof) just a little tiny bit of work they have done on previous S2000 Cars AND STILL speak GOOD on other shops and who they have....... Mike a.k.a Mr. Kidd a.k.a MAINSTREAM PERFORMANCE dont make it hard for yourself you have other things to concentrate on i'm sure. like i said before its simple.

Dude calm down, you don't have to cram it down his throat. You know its just AIR FUEL AND SPARK right. Theres nothing magic about S2000s that make them harder to tune.

Everyone has this preconcived idea that each car is so unique that you have to have a special tuner, honestly thats a big fucking load of shit.

[TRAYZ06]

I'm not going to get into any his shop, there shop, my shop, your shop. The only thing I see is that the Atlanta area is very lucky to have so many shops to choose from. I mean there are not many places in the US that has 6-12 dynos within a 100 miles of each other with several qualified tuners.

Best thing for you to do is go with who you feel the most comfortable. And check them all out.

[ChefJ]

Well at least you got one of them right.

[boostedy8]

Come check us out at Forged Performance. Its $75 for three pulls to get a base line dyno with A/F. We use a Dyno Dynamics dyno to tune our cars which is the best, and most accurate on the market to tune with. We tune AEM, UTEC, HKS FCON, GREDDY E-MANAGE, APEXi, and others. Thanks

But he doesn't own a 350z or G35.

And I caught your little free advertising plug. You are lucky I am letting it slide. If you want to advertise on IA, pay to become a sponsor.

350z guys never want to play with me on track....I don't know why.

[ChefJ]

[Big Baller]

Its good the 350Z Guys have someones nuts to ride now

Yeah I just dont get 350z guys. For some strange reason they think that the 350z is the best. Nissan just needs to take the letter z off the name. Cause everyone knows who the REAL Z is.....z06
