Im pretty sure you would be in this bracket... As far as rx7 I know he has tuned well over 500 he owns a shop in Texas and they do all cars out there... I have seen him tune 2 240 in the bay area one of the guys names is Ivan I believe he is known aroudn the bay area. As far as how aggresive you wnat him to go thats is completely up to you... The thing I like aobut Steve is he tuned even similiar set up differently depending on what you are looking for. If you tell him to push it he will push it if you tell him its your daily he will be conservative...

steve shadows · 10-24-2008, 01:20 PM

I am also versed in tuning all those units, how exactly is he "Liscenced" just curious...

ZenkiGTS · 10-24-2008, 01:34 PM

my boy just got a tune on my old turbo II too or else i would've told him

carbonfd · 10-24-2008, 01:45 PM

He went and took tuning classes on each one and upon the completion they give you a certificate and a registered tunning version of the software that is used for each ECU... I lot of shops have copies of the liscenced version. Not saying there arent people who can tune stuff without being liscenced but say for instance you had AEM... And you called AEM and asked for a liscenced tuner in your area they would have a list of people who have taken there coarse and are certified to program there ECU's... Just like a certified mechanic and the garage mechanic the garage mechanic might be able to do the job but the certified guy knows all the ins and outs..

My friend had his fc tuned by him. Car ran good but was a little rich. He is a legit rotary tuner but I have no idea how often he has worked on nissan cars.

carbonfd · 10-26-2008, 10:09 PM

Dont be shy guys... Im only going to be able to fit 1-2 cars in as i have 12 spots to fill and most of them will be rx7..

Chris

blownmotor · 10-30-2008, 05:15 PM

Very interested

lilaznjeff · 10-30-2008, 11:34 PM

as far as 350 for a full tune sounds very reasonable

carbonfd · 11-01-2008, 11:27 AM

If you are interested please put your name on the list... I am only going to have room for 2 maybe 3 cars since a majority of the list is going to be Rx7...
