I don't have experience with either, though I will be looking for one soon as I'm putting a turbo on my gsr motor in the near future.

Try asking this member. Lookks like the shop in in Fairfield.

Depending on where you are located, might be worth a drive to socal, since there are way more tuners down there.

I tune mine in San Jose, DSR; Dynospot racing. Have been going to see these guys for a very long time.
There is also a place named BlackTrax in Milpitas CA. Have heard good things about them also.

wish i could drive my car to a tuner but it has zero mileage, and do not want to risk it.

Go to DSR.
Ask for Laurence. He built my B18C5 from bottom up and dyno tuned it.
Im at 218hp, 143tq at the wheels. Been going to him for well over 10 years.

I use rcrew to tune everything else.

dnr performance in hayward or hybridworkz in vallejo. tech3 is good as well. thts for bay area. you shouldnt be able to drive your car unless your ecu is chipped for a 750cc injectors. your car will start but as soon as you put it into gear and try and give it gas it should die out.

call hybridworkz again. ask for anthony or brian directly tell them Cris Alvarez sent you to get a tune. Cez is the only other person there. Cez is a tech there. might be ants kuzin or his wife answering the phone.
