I think it's pretty safe to say that you wont find anyone with more experience tuning Turbo Hondas around here than me...

i think nowadays it'd be very smart (financially) to offer dyno tuning for chrome/turboedit/uberdata

they are great programs, easy to use, and effective. just get an ostrich/romulator, tune onthe dyno, then burn a chip at the end.

I think I've got the process down, haha...

Crome is good...Uberdata is Junk IMHO, and I haven't messed with TurboEdit.

So I'll probably be offering Crome in the near future...

Yea thats what I've heard, alot of people prefer Crome over uberdata. Us obd0 folk have to stick with turbo-edit though. I'm gonna be lookin for some tuning sometime soon so i'll probly be in there guinea pig'n it lol.

I wouldn't mind playing with a Turbo Edit car...as long as the software isnt all buggy and wack...

I can tune anything.

You can go with Garage Kwai. Ben is awesome with AEM but he can tune with anything.

Our pricing starts at $750 dyno tuned for the AEM EMS and goes up from there depending upon motor setup.

The $750 base price was for the AEM EMS. Hondata/Crome tunes are $150/hour dyno tuned. N/A tunes are usually a maximum of 2 hours ($300) and Forced Induction setups are usually $450. Remember though, that's including the price of the dyno usage for the dyno that we own. You're not having to pay for dyno rental at some other shop on top of the hourly rate to tune the car. That means we can spend more time on your car getting it to be perfect without racking up hours of dyno rental or being rushed on the dyno to meet a price quote.
