Alright here it goes. I'm looking for a good tuner around Chicago. I have a boosted B18C1 running a VAFC with RC440's. I'm going to upgrade to Hondata S300. So if you have any input it would be greatly appreciated. I've heard Dave @ Whip Factory is good, just want to do some research before I make an investment where ever it may be.

Look forward to your input. Thanks.

 

yeah dave is good, but they said 700 for a dyno tune on crome.

That's alot. Maybe sometime later for me.

 

thats probably with chrome included though right? anyways i hear dave is one of the best around. my friend made 301whp on a boosted em1 10psi stock b16

Yes he is, call the Whip Factory

 

dave @ whipfactory is amazing.
my quote was 500 for a dyno tune on an s200boost all options.

 

dave=

 

sorry not crome, it was neptune.

I didn't fully understand what they were charging for. It seems 3hrs on a borrowed dyno, so they have to pay for that and stuff. but yeah, I don't know exactly what they hell they were charging for.

 

the tune.
they'll tune for like 2 hours, and they'll make almost 20% more than other tuners. dave is teh sauce!

 

Dave

289 whp @8psi b16

$$$ well spent

 

dave will most likely make you the most power


but if you want to save a couple hundred bucks go with either mark at one6 or factoryfive they will be atleast $200 cheaper if not more savings

with less boost.

 

power isnt worth that much...thats expensive for a tune..lets say $100 per hour...doesnt take 5 hours to tune a car..how much are they chargin $250 per hour...if they're only tunin for 2 hours

 

The WC hands down

i believe that also covers the cost of neptune. which is http://www.xenocron.com/neptune.php?page=RTP
over all it seems like a great deal. they take care of the tunning completly, that saves alot of head aches, but there are cheaper ways to go about tuning

 

lol your not getting neptune rtp for daves price its just a licence like when you get your car tuned on crome pro


if it included a rtp board that would be a bomb *** deal

i was under the impression that you did

 

if you did i would be all over that deal but last time i talked to him it didnt include rtp

 

If you want to want the best tune, and the most power go to Dave @ Whip Factory.

If you want to save money and have your car tuned for cheap, this hobby is not for you

Dave can be reached at 630-922-3327.

 

what's the wc? lol

all this talk of dave, makes me want to save up my pennies and call them up to really understand what they're charging for.

AMS charged my brother 185/hr. At taht rate is starts making sense, since you they told me 3 hrs, plus renting the dyno, and I guess making money for the license use of neptune and what not.

I do want the best tune, hence the reason for this thread. I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for.

We deal with factory 5, here is a car they tuned for us, 7 psi hitting 300hp.

We are actually looking into cornbredtuning, they make house calls and are around $150 for a full tune, if it goes over 2 hours its $35 per hour. I believe those are roughly his rates.

 

yeah i just heared about cornbredtuning a few weeks ago they seem realy good for the price

I talked to one of the guys there, they seem really committed about doing good work. I will be testing them out sooner or later.
