i just buy parts from there.. i have nothing to tell you about their tuning or motor building skills..

try the whip factory in plainfield.. i have heard nothing but good things about them..

you could try apg performance.. they have been around for a while.

I heard some bad stories about Whip Factory. They fucked up some guys car on the dyno and still charged him. haha I'd say get Uberdata and a wideband and tune it yourself. Why pay someone $100+ an hour for something you can do yourself.

i wana tune it this spring on the e manage and later in the summer when i have around a $1000 to spend on hondata and tuning i will go that route. I just want a reliable,semi conservative/aggreasive tune. It seems easy to me, but nobody around here seems to understand solid air/fuel ratios and smooth vacum to boost transitions.

Ill put it this way.....I want it done right and im willing to pay for it.
