Crescent from C-speedracing.com is a good hondata tuner. He's probably the only one I would ever let tune my car up in that area. If you wanted to come down south Ground Zero here in Portland does hondata tuning.

Ok, I'll check them out, thanks. I'm currently thinking about going to RPM Tuners (www.carbconn.com) in Kirkland. Anyone have any experience with their tunning?

If your talkin to me, yes Ground Zero tuned my last setup which ran Hondata. I now have a completely different setup and have a AEM EMS. Not sure exactly who will tune the EMS right now. I hope Crescent will have time to help me.

Where are these guys located at? I have a friend getting his Hondata tuning done at CarbConnection and I was probably gonna go the same route, but I want a couple more options to check out first.

He is up north. Bellingham if that's how you spell it. He can do dyno tuning or street tuning. Crescent has been tuning the system since hondata first came out. So he's had a lot of tuning time on the system. He'll drive down south for tuning. He has tuned a lot of cars in the Tacoma/Seattle area.

I believe Torque Freaks off Airport Way in Portland also does some fine work with Hondata

ok so what about those of us that are noobs (me) and have built a motor beyond our own comprehension? I've got a 86mmx95mm b18c with a p28 s300 that i need to get tuned but they all want me to make sure that it is tune ready.... um hello, from what hondata says, i'm not supposed to even try and idle this thing without it being at a tuning facility. Any ideas are welcome. I'm open to suggestions.

I would pick a tuner, go talk to him, have him make u a basemap for your exact setup, then go home and plug the ecu in, start it up let it idle for a couple min to check for leaks etc, then shut it down and tow it to his shop, and break in the motor on the dyno

Carb conn in kirkland is not the place to go.. ALex sucks at tuning hondas pm me for more details..
Contact Leed on homemadeturbo.com

He's has tuned many many high hp hondas all still running great...

He is the best tuner in the NW

Ive heard of a few good names in the Seattle area.

Leed is one of them, Speed-Factory is another.

If you make it down to the Portland/Vancouver area, I would STRONGLY reccomend English Racing or Rrevmotorsports..

I dont even think Ground Zero is even open anymore...

Edit: English Racing doesnt Tune Hondata, but they do tune crome...

I highly reccomend SPEEDFACTORY they are located in University place washington. They are having a tuning special right now, flat rate of 350 for cars on hondata, car could take 6hrs and its still 350. I have had all 3 of my motors tuned there current is on s300. Best tuner i have seen by far. Check my sig for the website

Honestly i dont think you can go wrong with Speedfactory/Leed/Englishracing/Rrevmotorsports... They all have proven to be great shops/Tuners... Im not going to get in a who's better bla bla bla argument... Since you are in Seattle go with Speedfactory or Leed...

Brian from Forged Performance tuned my car, and did a great job, I would recommend them for sure for tuning.
