I am located in Northern Virginia, and I need to get my car tuned.

I have a built b16. Stock sleeves, JE 9:1 pistons, eagle H beams, arp headstuds, etc. t3/t4 turbo .60 trim.

I would like to know who is just an outstanding tuner that is within driving distance and what the going rate is. Im tired of paying out the *** at autothority.

Thanks

 

Drive down to FL for John @ Secret Services...it's worth it!!!

 

john is good so is st00pid in houston both guys are great..

 

 

lol thats a litte farther than I wanted to go. Or plan on going

 

sometimes this is what it takes to get a job done right the first time

 

Since you are in VA talk to Steven Sakai (Sgt here on honda-tech).

art

 

Steve Sakai is the man. he has been a hondata dealer for a while and really has a good understanding of how to effectively tune cars running hondata as well as non hondata) systems.

 

Who is the best in California?

 

Has anyonehere delt w/ Tom Payn of Payn Tech. in Troy, Mi? I have heard only good things about him.

 

 

Steve Sack EYE lives in Stafford too. HES THE MAN

 

From what Doug@Hondata has told me, SGT is pretty damn good. Though there are quite a few people that is qualified to tune the system.

 

Shad at Abacus Racing down here in VA Beach, he has tuned my car, his 440whp 10.60 car, and 3 other 400whp cars. Very good tuner and he now works at the Machine Shop and dyno facility Abacus Racing (757)363-8878 Ask for Shad tell him Terry sent you. Good luck

 

If youre anywhere near Nova...Steve is your answer. Awesome tuner, tons of experience with all sorts of setups, and hes a nice dude

 

Steve Sakai

 

He tuned mine. Car ran quite well. I think it needed more part throttle stree tuning though. My numbers seemed low but he went conservative, and all the readings were on a mustang dyno.

 

not to hijack your thread but....What about the NY and CT area?

333 (Greg) on the board tunes- he's in newtown. I can't vouch for his skill, but I know that he CAN do it.

 

I'd say Jeff @ IB

 

I talked to Shad. He sounded pretty confident he could make some good numbers with my setup, so Im gonna take it down there

 

If you go to the Hondata website, you can see the list of all licensed tuners in your area. Since you say that your in VA, I believe that the closest is Steve Sakai, which a lot of people here have already mentioned. I actually picked up my Hondata from him last year, nice guy, kind of hard to get a hold of though, but still nice and willing to answer your questions...... IF YOU CAN EVER get a hold of him. Best way to contact him is email.. He usually responds to emails within a day. Don't try calling though.

Tom Payn is a excellent tuner who will fly in if you pay for his ticket and stay. He is the greatest, he is the master of the universe.

I'm getting my car tuned by him later this month hopefully, once I get my stupid turbo and Hondata in, then I can get it tuned, he is the best, get it done by him.. Say I told you, say my name, maybe I'll get a discount when I go to him!

Gotta save some money ya know?

 

Jeff @ IB taking my car to him as soon as i put it together and pieces arrive

 

****, steve's right around the corner from you. He's got plenty of experience tuning w/ and w/o hondata, the people here have already said it.. Maybe you don't even have to goto the dyno.. Hell, you guys could proly make some pulls down 95 hehe..
