Default Church Automotive testing to my rescue

I wanted to thank everyone at Church Automotive testing in Wilmington California.

They were originally recommended to me by several national Honda Challenge champions. Before my last event I had installed a new engine and it was just finished at 5pm the day before the event,,,, really long days and nights preparing this thing.

The guys at Church's stayed open, got my car running and broken in on the dyno.

Initially it would not go into V-tech . I was about to give up on the thing and Shawn's guys just smiled and said " dont worry man ,, we will figure it out" I went to take a nap in my truck (while they found several things i connected up wrong ). I dozed off to the sound of my car on the dyno in the background. I woke up later with one of the guys at my truck saying " Its all done , your good to go " Wow ,,, I was about to write off the weekend!!!!

I think we all know how hard it is to prepare for an event, and with a motor install on top of it. The wind was kind of out of my sails but this ended up being the EASIEST part of my preparation.

These guys dont just dyno tune, they know exhaust, electronics, troubleshoot AND make lots of horsepower

I left there with a running, broken in car. LOTS more knowledge and a few suggestions.

That weekend I went on to win bolth days at Buttonwillow.

Thank you again guys .

Painted in MFactory Scuderia red I suppose? Perhaps a prancing horse on the hood?

Church Auto is definitely the place to be. They've tuned my car several times and have always done an amazing job.
