SGT Racing in Stafford is pretty much a one man show. Steven Sakai. He is probably one of (if not the best) Hondata tuner in the country. He has done some amazing tuning on JRSC'd cars as well as sick turbo and all motor set-ups. Including his own ITR. Unfortunetly it kinda comes wtih a price. He is a very saught after tuner and with only one man and a VERY small shop, turn around time is kinda longer then most, but very worth it. Plus it doesn't help that he sponcers Warren ****'s Honda-Challenge car as that requires quite a bit of attention. Fear not though, if you can deal with the wait, well worth it.

SGT is definitely THE guy to work with. i have known him for a few years and he is not only a good and nice guy, BT, he really really really knows his stuff when it comes to both talking about motors but also when it comes to building them and tuning them. HUGE from me!!!

He's great, he's the only shop I could find that would ship a Hondata to me in Germany. I've worked with him couple of times since then and he's been great.

I'm going to have to through my two cents in there too.

He is deffinatly awsome! Always willing to help me out with advice everytime I bug him. Great guy to work with.

The man took off of work so he could work on my car to accomidate my time frame.

He was swaping a Portflow P&P head onto my B18C1 with ITR Intake Valves, reconditioning the valve seats, etc. Since I work all week, and this is my one and only car, am not from around his shop (from Pittsburgh), he took off a Friday (as did I), so he would have time to work on my car, and he had my car done for me Saturday Night so I could get back home for work!

How many tuners do you know that would do something like that for someone they only meet once and barely know (well, maybe not barely know... he has certainly hear from me enough. I am always bugging him for advice and help on things... haha)

Steve Sakai is diffinately going to be getting all of my business..... weather he likes it or not!!
