There are a few places that will be recommended for sure. Of course I am biased, but I do come to the Pompano Beach area once a month to tune cars for Horsepower Sales. I think the next trip is Jan 13th, 2006. Or you could make a trip up to Orlando as many have.

Just do some research and go with who you feel comfortable with. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hey Mike, do you do any drivability tuning or just WOT dyno tuning? Do you do the VE tables?

Hi Carl,

I dunno Don't ask me to get to technical as I am a lot better at tuning then talking about it.

We check the cruise and accel initially on the dyno under a couple different conditions. Then I handle the WOT setup. Then I do a couple slower accel pulls in 5th or 6th on an M6 car to see what the trims are up to. After I am done on the dyno I do a road test to see if any tweaks need to be make in the VE area from there. Hope this helps.

Sounds good phoenix, just let me know. The scheduling when I am in Pompano Beach goes through Horsepower Sales. The number is 954-984-8040 and ask for Roger. Talk to you soon.

Pheonix,
If your still shoping around, maybe you should give Jeremy Formato a call. He does the tuning at RevXtreme as well as a few other places. His website is www.FasterProms.com
He's done some things for me that I had thought would be impossible. He pulled my car 8 times on the dyno, then spent a combined 5 hours on the road with me working out little driveability issues that came up. He will be tuning my new combo as well.
I too have heard good things about Mike Norris, and Ive personally experienced a few cars he's worked on... Like Mike said, you should feel comfortable with the person you choose. So ask around some more, and give both a call to discuss your setup; you will end up being comfortable with someones skills and knowledge.
