    Do you really think Jeff has tuned more than Ed?? Look how long Ed's been tuning.

    Not that it says anything about him as a tuner but Ed was 1 of the 1st 100 people to have hondata software when it was introduced. Ed's been tuning since he was in college at GA Tech!!!

    You are correct-Ed does not work at Balanced. He uses their facility b/c of convenience. That's a perk about Ed-he'll go where ever you want. Just e-mail him you won't be dissapointed.

    Oh and Sunbelt is no longer across the street from Balanced. They were bought over and moved to a new larger, state of the art complex. That shit is pimp!!!

    No one is talking shit about ED, I think most of the tuners in Georgia have nothing but respect for ED. He tunes a lot of Race Cars, but I can assure you there are guys on the east coast that have tuned more cars than ED. Its funny how peoples knowledge is so limited by where they live.

    Sorry, but I dont know anything about the Mainstream guys...but they seem to have a great reputation.
    I spoke to Dan at Battleground a while back about tuning my Eclipse, and he definatley knows his stuff!

    So, basically, I am no help at all.... I dont think you can go "wrong" with any of them, though.

    Well im willing tp put money down that we tune more hondas in the last year than Ed, or any shop in GA for that matter.

    Ed isnt doing 5-6 cars a week, sorry, i know people at balanced. My GF actually gets alot of her work done up there on her Race ITR. so dont think im "hating" when i know jason.

    Ed is a good tuner, and you cant go wrong with him, but saying hes the best, an no one is close, sorry, that aint true.

    saying he tunes more cars than anyone on the east coast, sorry, that aint true either.

    lets not spread misinformation, you guys stated why you liked ED, theres nothing wrong with that and i support that, but leave it at that.

    Noticed I didn't say anything about how many hondas he's tuned. I said cars!! The tuning Ed does out of Balanced is about 1/10th the amount of tuning he does. He runs 2 engine dynoes at Sunbelt. Tuning isn't Ed's hobby it's his career. He's out of town tuning more than he is here, and when he's here he's generally on the engine dynoes.

    Yall are the ones that don't know. Ed doesn't build or machine. He tunes!!

    What misinformation have I spread??

    BigBaller-I know Mustang guys from the NorthEast that get tuned by Ed. I've known them before I knew Ed. He's well known more than in GA. Ask any pro SCCA guy around the country if they know Ed. And I guarantee you they've heard of him or have used his tuning services. He tunes more road race cars that drag or street cars.

    Ed uses some of our old maps that are close to our new setups and go from there. It does literally take him an hour tops for our cars.

    Peter's gold hatch took 1.5 hours with WOT and full drivability.

    But everyone's engine runs differently...he's always tuned our cars fast with good results.


    oh and it did take Ed like 30 minutes or so on Danny's car. but it was all WOT pulls....

    BULLSHIT, if he started off an old TUNED map, and you changed something like, the exhaust, maybe.

    but from start to finish, no way. your not telling the entire story danny. i dont think your qualified to know how long it takes to tune a car that makes over 400-500whp (which im guessing your car prob makes).

    2-3 hours minimum on a race gas honda

    There is good and bad about every tuner. I have no experience with Dan so I can not say anything about him, but I have experience with Ed, Scotty, and Doug, not all my cars, but cars I have been involved in building and I was there for the tuning process. I can give you + and - comments on all 3. Its all personal preference and who you think can do the best job with your application. Just ignore all the bickering from these biased people.
