Mike aka ElevationTC. HANDS DOWN!

m6ar2cel6oTC

I put my money on luiggi (Olympic motorsports)tuned me dozens of times cause I always changed boost and mods, Mike (mtuned) never used him before but heard a lot of great things and same place Bret tuned his car at. they tuned him and he never had any problems.

Those would be my only option down here.

brett561tc

what do you have against japtrix? they know there stuff.

brett561tc

i have never used his services. i think he tuned robs car though.

It's rough finding a very knowledgable tuner. It also depends on which computer you're using. Not all tuners know all softwares. Yes tuning is tuning but it's best if the tuner is comfortable with your computer (piggyback or standalone).

TCpete

simple...

3 turbo tc's
2 k series swaps
3 b series swaps

all ive had to fix, rewire,rebuild, send to another tuner etc etc because of either A) poor fab work B) shotty crap installation of advanced and even the most basic parts C) 3 of the motors above listed and blow because of poor ___ tuning D) the turbo tc they put together i wish i had pics of it to see what they did with the IC piping, WG, and turbo clocking (freaking ghetto as hell rig) E) outrageous pricing on basic things... yea i have a nice list of things on them.

I dunno about there tuning at japtrix but I think they worked on o7ryder (olindo) Car and they put his kit all messed up and tuned his car bad.

B_Real45

The only correspondence I've had with Japtrix was when I was about to get boosted. I wanted someone to tune the Unichip and they told me they could do it. They gave me a verbal quote over the phone and I was so excited I purchased the T'netics kit thinking I'll have a tuner for the Unichip. Well when the time came, they backed out of their verbal quote and would not honor it.

brett561tc

funny. ive never seen anything but good results from them. i've had them install my meth kit and clutch before, and haven't had an issue. i have only been going to them for a tune for a while now, and have been very pleased with the results.

TCpete

double check your stuff brett maybe its hit or miss and you've been lucky... but honestly... some of the cars i've had to fix after leaving there i wonder why anyone would do what they did... i mean who puts a dam dumptube touching and rubbing/dinging 3 major ac components and a cheap lowes black garden hose with poor crimps for a return line... yuhhh

brett561tc

well, i'll meet you half way. i can vouch for roger and leo, (my tuner, and my mechanic at japtrix), so ask for them.

japtrix tuned my car when it was automatic and lets just say the tune failed horribly. then i swapped from emanage blue to FIC and the car made less hp and tq at 1psi more lol

m6ar2cel6oTC

It's funny how you vouch for mike but can't vouch for Luiggi even though he tuned you good. It's all good.

I say again from experience
Luiggi Olympic motorsports.
Mike mtuned.
Japtrix from Brett experience
And a buddy of mines name Karey who tuned my car before I built my car.

brett561tc

im not gonna get into a shop war here. im just gonna go to the shop i trust, and that tuned my car well enough to get me into the 11's. op can go whatever direction he wants.

bigG2148

Luiggi has been the main 1 i have been talking with soo im with him just a few situations have been coming up.

johnnyb305mia
