Default Where Should I tune my car???????????

Sorry for another newbie question, but I need help with tuning my car. I want to get my car tuned and runing better. After all the stuff that I have been putting in it, it's been running kind of rough. But I don't know what to tell them. When I get my car tuned, what should be done?

if you mean for tuning for the street just set everything to stock, and pull the battery ground for a minute. then give it a quick tuneup

for speed advance the timing slightly, take a tiny bit of fuel out of the topend, and advance the intake about 3 and retard exhaust about 1.5-2 and turn the idle up a bunch and hear vtec make blood poor from your ears

huh? You need a dyno with a wideband to correctly tune the car. Remember to weld on a o2 bung for the wideband. I got my car dynoed at R & D Dyno located in Gardena.

How much did it cost you to tune your car? What exactly did they do to it? What should I tell them to do to my car? Thanks Again

Tuning costs about 100 per hour but there isn't much for you to tune unless you get a VAFC, fpr and or get a hondata

a lot of places will only dyno tune if you have cam gears and adjustable FPR.
