Let me know how it goes. I'm heading over at the end of this month. I've spoken to some people who have been over there and they weren't disappointed.

i dont know how they are with tuning but they were pretty rude to me and my friend. he was just installing his turbo timer and motor mount inserts and they took their time and tried to overcharge us. just my experience tho.

they were kinda busy when i went in there on saturday to pick something up.

they were like...'what do you want'...i asked about exhaust work and they wouldnt tell me anything except 'yes we do that.' *shrug* i got a good deal though. not sure about their tuning.

I drive there from Memphis to get my car tuned. They stayed until 1am with me to finish since we had problems with my rc injectors and didn't get on the dyno until they were closing. Larry and Brice are great guys. I have hondata also and loving it. I will be going back down when my 2.0 gsr is finished to get it tuned.

i have heard pretty good things about their work but I've just delt with them over the phone...and all but one time the guy was an absolute dick to me. Thats the only reason they haven't got my business.

Well, they will never touch but they do know what they are doing. Ive personaly seen good and bad from them recently and they kinda took advantage of someone I know. But then again that person is a PITA at times so I can see why they would be an *** to him.

Here recently went I call the have soeme young guy there that sucks. He is a smart *** when you ask for someone and doesn't know **** when u ask him something. After a few questions he will ask you to call back later and talk to Larry. Just call and confuse the little ****** and he will get you someone who can help you.

ive never used their services but talked to brice the other nite at the shop and although he seems to be under alot stress/work/rebuilds/mods/running shop/alot of cars to do, he seems cool.
also he did mention that he is on the AEM stand alone program research board or something like that.
dont know how they are w/ hondata tuning tho but at least they have a dyno.
also they just receieved their AWD dyno chassis too. not installed yet
