I can't vouch for them, but I would recommend buying your cams and then taking them to Dynospot for install/tuning.

I think Dynospot charges $85/hour for dyno time and $185/hour for tune/install. Check with Mike Marsey (Rboosted717) as he would know the most current prices. Also they are in the process of relocating their shop, and I'm not sure if they've finished yet.

That's what I've been telling Dion...I just need to get my damn exhaust before I head down there, hopefully together.

Thunder Alley is alright. One of my friends works there. I would trust him working on anything in my car.., As far as prices and other things I really don't know. Good luck!

Not personal experience but I hear ATP in Fremont is good, they have one guy that can tune Honda and Acura, and they charge $100/hour with A/F, $65 for 3 base runs. That's is where I am planning to go, unless I hear otherwise.

I would go by people who win and have proven their results rather then just a place with a good price who has someone that can tune honda's. Knowing how to tune a Honda and knowing how to get the most power is totally different. I'll tell you this, Lawrence at DSR knows his stuff. He's been doing this forever and can pracically guess what a car will make before and after its tuned just by looking at the parts listed. Kinda sad, but good in the fact that he will get the power!
