Well, here's the deal. I'm pretty much looking for an overview of who's in the area and what experiences people have had. I know of one or two, but can't comment on service so I'll let you guys have at it.

 

I hear really good things about Ed from Balance Performance. Once I get a few more mods done, more than likely thats where I'm going to get my car tuned at.

 

That's what I've always heard. Ed has tuned friend's turbo cars in the past. They all started, idled, and generally acted like they did as NA cars.


anyone have any experience with Batlground in Smyrna?


Anyone in the area with ITBs? Who tuned them?

 

Mainstream has done some of my mods. They have done a great job on everything they did.

Thanks for the input so far guys. The threads I found when I searched really had no info and were rather old. Of course there were vouches for Ed from Balanced.

 

Ed is a great tuner and guy. He has a bunch of experience with cars. I had him break in my car after my rebuild on the dyno. Ran into electrical problems which I sorted out after the session. I had used him on my original tune after installing the greddy kit on a stock B16, but had bad gas or accidentally filled with the wrong gas since I blew my ringlands.

I told Ed that I found my electrical problem, but wanted to use Dan Willie at Batlground since I had heard great things about that shop and talking with Traci(y) at a Varsity meet. It was confirmed that I did infact find my electrical problem and we installed my GM 3 bar. He retuned the car and I ran the engine as my DD/autox/track car with the kit on for +17K miles, no problems.

I have since taken the kit off and have been NA and I am now basically at 23K miles, no issues.

I rebuilt the engine right and took it to the right people after the rebuild.

I do not like Balanced Performance for work, just Ed's tuning service. Since I took my car away from Balanced I have not had a problem.

I do, however, recommend Batlground for everything they are comfortable serviceing. Good people.

 

good info, thanks

anyone ever used Forged Performance in Marietta?

they do the EFI university classes for atlanta there.

 

no kidding. I've wanted to take that class for sometime. It's just hard to find the time and money to do it.

Glad to help you in your endeavor.

 

They've got an EFI 101 class in January... I'm hoping to get it as a christmas present, even if I have to chip in...

thanks again for the help

 

Ed tuned my car.. He is a great tuner with Hondata and is very smart guy.. He also will teach you everything you want to know about tuning and etc... So go to Balanced Performance...

 

anyone else have any input?

I think I'll skip the EFI 101 for now and book some time with Ed. Hopefully he won't mind teaching me a little something along the way.

thanks Axix24

 

Working?
