Let me list some Terms for noobs.

PIGGYBACK Systems work in conjuntion with your stock ecu. They usually are limited in what you can do. Think Emanage, VAFC,SAFC, etc

STANDALONE ECUs REPLACE your ECU. They are the best form of tuning computers. AEM, Haltech, Power FC

[MistaCee]

Good now we should see no more threads about this.

[Frög]

By experience, Balanced Performance is a really good! don't really know about the other ones so I can't say which one is the best..

[Vteckidd]

not looking to find out who the BEST is, im merely telling people you can go to these shops an be pleased with the results

[2turbo4u]

When you say accomplishment is this tuning or building the car?

[Vteckidd]

sometimes both . But there if they can tune a certain car to make big power chances are they can build it as well

[BOBA-GA-NUSH]

I DRIVE RIGHT PAST BATTLE GROUND EVERY DAY, ALWAYS GOT NICE CARS AND ALWAYS WORKIN.

[redrumracer]

of course these are in no particular order right? lol

[B18c1Turboed]

Balanced Performance= Ed tunes most of the World Challenge cars, if that dont say something about him i don’t know what does. He also tunes other BMWS for other circuit racing, he is always traveling so sometimes its hard to get him too tune, but its well worth the wait and time!!!

He also tunes most of Mahdavi cars and a few of AAP supras!!

[Paul_s]

which one is the closest from gwinnett

[Vteckidd]

in Gnette Balanced is the CLosest or Topspeed (alpharetta)

[Ben6613]

i was wondering when the rate charges start. the second the computer is hooked up or the moment the car enters the shop/pulls in on the dyno to get strapped down??

[Vteckidd]

it depends on the shop. Usually the dyno time starts when the first pull is done.

Some places have a mandatory strap down fee they charge.

Best thing to do is to contact the shop you choose and ask for specifics

[Ben6613]

thank you very much sir. i appreciate that =)

[Gorilla Eg!]

where would be the best place to take my N/A Honda for ITB tuning?

[Vteckidd]

Mainstream(scotty) or Balanced (ed)

[Gorilla Eg!]

Mainstream(scotty) or Balanced (ed)

I had heard that ED @ Balanced was top notch.... just wanted to double check

[graveltravel]

i need a good tuner..... my itr powered ej1 is only putting out 172/124 ..
sounds gheyish

[Vteckidd]

what other mods do you have?

if its a stock motor, thats about right most ITRs put down 165-175whp stock

[Footefan52]

Most shops are very fair about their costs. My car was at Top Speed from 9am until about 3:30 and I got charged 3.5 hours of tuning. It was actually getting worked on the entire time too.

[graveltravel]

what other mods do you have?

if its a stock motor, thats about right most ITRs put down 165-175whp stock

its an 00 b18c5 w/ hondata s100, hondata im gasket, dc 4-2-1 header, oem/jdm box+intake tube, act heavy duty clutch and p.p., fidanza 7.5 flywheel.

[b16_madman]

Ah. I found the thread I needed. Sorry if my pm and/or email annoyed you.

[Ruststang]

Mainstream did a GREAT job on my boosted KA24 it was in my green 91 240 base with leather put down 280whp with an ebay turbo kit and neo afc.

[WRX STi]

Props to Doug at Topspeed for tuning my STi, he is amazing.

[Berta]

So when has Balance Performance ever have/had a awd dyno?

[kendogg]

Does anybody know if any of these shops can do GM stuff? I'm putting an '04 5.3l into a Volvo wagon, camming it and doing a full header-back exhaust and will need a good tune.

[Vteckidd]

I'd check out MTI I Marietta who is a predominantly chevy shop
