Midnight performance. comes to mind.
I have never done a tuning. I have also thought about doing it. Ive called them before. Theyll give you a price for everything. And let you know how much itll be from the beginning.

I don't personally have any experience with other shops except for Midnight Performance, they do charge a lot money for services. How was the quality of the work they do? Mediocre. Level of attention to detail? Out of 10, 10 being highest - 5. But Warren was honest with me and didn't try to sell me anything I didn't want. But over all I won't be a return customer unless he can offer me more for my $$$. Driving Ambition will be my shop next time I any major work done.

But back to your question about tuning. I car ran great when they tuned my "poor man Type R" engine (which they built) with a JRSC, using Hondata. Hope that helps

Sorry I didn't work there, my friend did for a bit, and I hung around one night there when he was working on some white civic with a GSR motor.

The ninja turtle working there is warren, cause his head is the shape of a ninja turtle. =X

I personally never took my car there when back in 2001 warren wanted to charge me 1500 dollars to custom make h22a mounts into an EK.

Thanx, I will take your advice on that.
I called them before when i wanted to tune my car.
They quoted me $971. For a hondata s300=641, oem ecu obd1 converted to v-tech $300, tunning $170, install $75. total $971.

Too much. So i havent done it.

hmm that sounds like a quote he would give...are any of them even on this site? Andre is nice, but they run a bad business, maybe my brother will tell a story about hondata and midnight....
