Default Looking for South Fla Tuners

Who down here in South Florida would you guys recommend on tuning a AFC Hacked + BTM d16y7. Was originally planning on going up to Orlando to Garage Advance, but that drive untuned dont seem like a chance I really wanna take. So looking somewhere close to home. Anyone?

South Florida Performance is down in Miami, Secret Services is in Tampa, and other than that... I'm not sure there's anywhere else around that's reputable enough for me to take my car..

Why not buy one of those widebands for $350 that there is a post on and tune the car your self? It would be pretty simple to tune an AFC with one of those. If your not up to that then i would say take it to SFP (I know a few other private guys in SO FLA that tune, AEM, Haltech, EFI, etc so i image they would have no problems with an AFC, but if you wanna keep it simple go to SFP) SFP is prolly a good 1/2 hour south of Miami (more in traffic), Its down by Cutler Ridge and Perrine.

I would LOVE to get a wideband if only I could afford it. But for right now a simple tune job is going to have to do. Hopefully I'll go wideband eventually.

It will easily cost your more than $350 for a tune (especially @ SFP, not knocking them, do great work but you def pay for it). You can get the wideband w/sensor for $350.

I got my Civic tuned at SFP last year, Frank did an outstanding job

If it's just an AFC hack though, you might want to consider doing it yourself considering how simple the AFC is. Do you know how an AFC works? Have you seen it on a dyno? It's very simple really as I've learned from working with my own both in my Civic and in the Teg. Hell I even tuned a few of my friend's N/A cars with AFC and I was quite pleased with myself to see them gain good power! PM me if you want and i'll give you a basic rundown

Agreed, learn to do it your self, Its easy to learn with the AFC, one of my friends is running afc hack with his max-rev kit, He tuned the car off a shitty apex'i a/f gauge on his turbo timer. The car runs smooth as hell and pulls hard.

Is it possible to tune with the "blue wire mod" temporarily? How would I do that? I really hate my A/F gauge. Its a POS.

DO NOT tune via any A/F gauge.. please

As it is, you save some $$ by going AFC-hack, spend the $$ to strap it to a dyno and get an accurate A/F reading!

$500 but that was for tuning, I belive the dyno alone is $120/hr.
