Here we go!

As with them all, some hate them, and others swear by them. Choose what is good for you and most importantly, who you feel responds to your requests and has good customer service.

For me, that is Eric and Pete at Dragon Racing. No one can argue that Pete, although not the most personable guy, knows his crap. Eric has great customer communication and follow through.

I have been extremely happy with my tune, and got a better than average result if the forum is a good place to compare.

Best luck!

I know Rocky Mountain Corvette can do tuning also but they don't have a dyno so it is a street tune. Honestly I am thinking about going mail order from C_Williams@RPM after hearing what he did for Snappy's tune

Peter at Dragon has done a lot of tuning on my car. He has done a fine job and I should emphasize that one of his strengths is to do safe tunes. There is no point getting a big bad dyno number and then blowing the car up in a week. I have raced the crap out of my car with Peter's tunes and it has never broken.

I did my most recent (Speed Density) tune myself with help and advice from Peter. Once you go beyond a certain HP, the MAF doesn't work and you need to do something different. Anyway, he continues to be supportive.

Anyone hear anything about MAC autosport in Parker? They were nice guys when I got a dyno reading for club racing. I talked to them last week and they have HP tuners software and a nice dyno. I'm thinking about having them check out my new engine...

They are really popular with the "tuner" crowd. I know that they have done a lot of work on EVOs and STis don't know much about their domestic work.
