How did he tune it? Dyno pulls? Street logging? I have been thinking about going over there to get a tune (I have heard great things about his work).

I do both. WOT tuning is done on a Dynojet 424. You cannot fool with the correction factors so it is a true measurement. Idle and part throttle are done here on the lot then I take it for a drive. I will make sure the tune is 100% or I won't let you leave

Mike tuned my old setup when I had heads/cam and the tune was great.

Dont be scared to drive to get a good tune. Max power and streetability is all in the tune. So take it to someone that has proven themselves.

Whoever you take it to, make sure its a legit business, with a dyno, that has invested the time and money. Anyone else has little to nothing to loose. Theres lots of "tooners" out there that have nothing but a laptop and cable. Some of them are probably pretty good. But when it comes down to it, the guys with the dynos, and the shops have the biggest investment, and the most to loose. They are less of a chance of being "fly by night".
Rapid or RPM I'm sure will treat you right. Both are on here continuously, and the last thing they want is someone unhappy with their work.
