Default Tuners around Tampa

Anyone have a tuner recommendation for a Turbo Prelude? I'm installing a new kit and need a better tuner.
I've tried SS which is now closed and the tune was less than desirable. I've talked to SFP and am seriously considering them.

I thought Mase was in Cali?

If he is here, I would definitely go to him, if not, then Frank at SFP.

darin, dave, and mase are all good tuners. Darin gives you free residence for the day if you get tuned by him!!! And a free vintage volt meter But dave buys you milkshakes. Hard to choose :/

Lets not forget blown90hatch, he gives you a free sermon with every tune!!!

go with Darin. He's done multiple tunes for me and I always recommend him to other people too. He just did a buddy's car from Ft.Myers. If he's willing to drive almost 3-4 hrs leaving at 5:30am, I think its worth it

I would recommend Blown90hatcH and 99B16Si. Both friends of mine and I trust their tuning abilities.

This is the deal. I just bought a RevHard kit with a GT35. My first tune experience was horrid and I got nowhere near the power I expected due to having a Drag2 kit and a really shitty turbo. The motor is built and I'm just sorting out some electrical issues left over from the last shop. I should have the kit installed within the next 2 weeks and just need a decent tuner who knows about the H22A and what it likes with spark, fuel, blah, blah, blah.

Btw: I need a clutch as well and am looking at the Spec stage 2 or 3.
Recommendations??

+1... I would definitely trust him to tune my car... He has tuned a couple cars for good friends of mine, and they run great!!! If I was running Hondata, I would definitely go to him, and I would reccomend him to anyone who does have Hondata...
