Look up H/T member Turbotyper (Danny). If you wanna ask him anything he can tell you. Ed tuned his insane Civic w/ 735 whp. Ran a 10.51 @ 148 on 672 whp. Danny swears by this guy.

Ed Senf does tuning out of this place. He does not need Balanced Performance to do business. Ed is great, but the guys there dicked me around a bunch before I said "expletive IT". Since I took my car out of that place and have done my own work, I have yet to have any problems :knocks on wood:
I even rebuilt my engine. I had Ed break it in on the dyno and it's 17K miles strong now. Ed is great, however, I am not keen on the rest of the crew there. IMHO.

Ed is one of the best guys i know, i mean not only is he a genius but he will tell you stuff that you may need to change (first time on the dyno stuff) and he will even help you change it out real quick. I had no problems with the shop and i know Ed has tuned 900+hp integras, a few 700+ hondas, and a bunch of 600+ hondas and he will keep it safe to. He doesnt tune to just get the big numbers and risk your motor, he tunes it safely so itll last.
On my motor that i built he got me up to 352hp @ 10lbs of boost with an ignition problem above 6800rpm. I thought that was pretty good until my valve started sticking in my guide because the machine shop didnt bore them out at all.

Not sure of his where-abouts that he does his tuning but I just know TURBOTYPER will let no other person tune his stuff.

I didn't have a garage and hardly any experience with motors. The motor was fine after Ed tuned it (stock engine with a greddy kit with AEM). I brought it in for a check up and had a multitude of problems there after for about 4-5 months. Never got a straight answer with any of them. I haven't been back since Ed tuned my built motor. I haven't the need. Ed is the only guy (last time I checked) that Grassroots Motor Sports uses to tune their stuff. Maybe the shop has changed since Fall '05. To me Balanced Performance get a
