someone told me that they dont tune hondata that well...is that true? also, do you guys know what they adjust when they tune it? thanks

 

i drove 2 hours to raver motorsports. tuned by vernon . well worth the drive.

DSR is the shiznit... they tune hondata very good. i will be bringing my car there soon to get it tuned next month or so.

 

DNR is good , DSR is good . MODACAR is the shizzle!!!!

They live and breath turbo and install haltechs on a daily basis. Sean There is a very good tuner.

ive heard crap about DNr. then again i just heard, a guy called me up and said he wanted 300 HP like his LS had, DNR said 550's were too big ( what hte ****? and recommended 310CC with the VAFC ( hello timing issues??) DNR tuned his car, the owner said he deosnt think there was a wideband used on his vehicle. 3 days later he had a melted piston and went back to DNR to let him know about ht edeal and said he suspected the car went lean. after hearing that, im not so sure they're good turbo guys, but they do know how to make an all motor car fast.

 

ya , they tune their own cars really well , ive seen them tune some customer cars nicely too , i dont know......

dsr is the **** tho

 

anybody else with experience at Dyno Spot racing??

ill either be going to modacar or dsr for my tuning , havent decided yet....phil friday im goin to modacar for my baseline runs!!!!

 

who has the best price for tuning? and who has the best prices for self tune dyno?
there is also other places in sacramento for the SF people driving to SJ is like driving to SAC.

 

Yep, DSR gets a from me! Lawrence has tuned my last 4 cars and will actually tune for your driving style and tells you what he does that way you understand what he's adjusting. Plus he's done so many cars and has seen so many different setups that tuning other cars comes very quickly so that saves you time.

I can eget an even larger list if you'd like...Lawrence know what he's doing, he's been tuning Hondata for quite a long time, I believe that he was the first in the Bay Area. He's done a very good job on my car(NA), and all of my boosted friends that have had their cars tuned there.

The only time I have ever heard of someone putting down DSR was when they worked at another shop, or had a friend that worked at another shop. Lawrence will give you his straightforward, honest opinion when you ask him a question, no BS.

I could say what happended with me and lawrence. and you know most of it austin. but its not gona do much good now.

every shop isnt perfect, i think dsr mostly does good work but everyonce in a while someone will screw up, something will take longer than expected, price will go up, or there will be mis-communication between customer and shop. luckily i had all 4 things happen at once

i would recomend anyone who is interested in getting their car tuned learn more about tuning themselves so when they shop around they can ask good questions to see if the tuner is full of it. or if they are slacking when they tune your car or reveal something else.
