harv's the **** what type of Standalone do you have he tuned by hondata stage 4 for me better then anyone before . And the funny thing is that he doesn't even use a wideband he tunes it the old school way by reading the plugs and the looking at dyno graph . Just give him a call at his shop he is a very busy since he travels with The Venom Race team . Call his shop 4 more info.

Harv's is bad ***!!!! Definately he does a lot of stand alone tuning like speedpro, motec etc.

He tuned my allmotor b16 a few years ago with a Vafc. He extracted an extra 13hp & 3lb of tq in a few hours. The fuel curve was wonderful. It was a night and day difference. He even bought everyone pizza

The guys from Atomic racing where there that night along with Levon Eisle not too sure if he was with Rev Hard yet or still with KG (correct me if i'm wrong with the name spelling)

I think his price is normally $150.00 an hour.

Good Luck

I was there when they tuned Civic Power's car. He impressed me a lot! I can say one of the best tuners out there for sure and well worth whatever he charges. I have his business information if anyone needs it

12221 Rivera Road
Whittier, CA 90606

Phone # (562) 907-7834

When you call tell him that Armando From PMP Designs (Black Venom Civic/350z) sent you so he can hook it up on the price. He can tune anything from Domestic muscle cars to porsche, BMW, Ferrari even a school bus/ RV Just go to his shop and its speaks for itself.

Harv is a good tuner, but if you want an even better tunner I would suggest Ben Strader at Strader performance http://www.dynospeed.com . Harv was just marketed really well. Some of the top people in the sport will tell you how good Ben is like Me, Mike Laskey, Kenny Tran, Tony1 and many others.
