Default Pick your tuner

This is basically a 'what if' situation...but if you had your choice as to which tuner/racing team/etc (you can only pick one) you would let build/upgrade your SI, which would it be? This would be on the basis that you drop your car off to the company and after 'X' amount of time they would give you your car back. You would not know what parts/upgrades they put on the car until they gave you the car back.

My choice would be Top Secret.

the reason why i picked skunk2 is because they really impressed me when they built the honda fit's SOHC L15a1 motor, instead of the anticipated k20 swap. so i trust in their tuning capabilities to squeeze some hp and tq out of the stock r18 motor safely. that fit didnt look to bad either.

I would say Spoon or Mugen just because it's a Honda I would be dropping off. Thats what they do. If it was a different car I would have a different answer.

Hey IGotNoSwap, what part of Northern Cali you from? I was going to have Phil from Spoolin Performance build my turbo for my EJ6 back in 03, but s*** happened to my car and it didn't go through. Phil is a great guy though! Spooling Performance FTW!

Spoon for sure.. They could prolly rip the entire car apart and rebuild it from the ground up, and Honda would still honor your warranty
