you need to call up Velocity (972)-389-9877. Ask for Jason, tell him Dave told you to call. He will have it tuned perfectly, most likely with my saved maps, or a variation thereof. Jarrett will be doing the tuning and he is friggin bad a$$!!!! For dyno tuning I think it's like $100 or so an hour but with the saved maps already on their shop computer i wouldn't imagine it taking too long.

First off you have to be an authorized tuner to have the Greddy E-manage software to access the unit. Second you have to have someone who knows what they are doing. Third the parameters for ignition timing and fuel levels are input into a matrix for different boost levels. It is just telling the eninge: at "X" boost add "Y" fuel and fire the spark plug at "Z" degrees + or - top dead center. They put a base map on the E-manage and make a dyno pass.....They look at the print out for dips in the power curve (most likely where the cams switch and at Redline) and go back to the matrix and alter the timing. The advantage of Velocity is that they use a wideband to tune the car. They will make sure there is no detonation, boost creep or even boost spike and maintain safe A/F levels. Once they are satisfied with the map on the E-Manage, they make a pass or 2 to get you a nice fun dyno print out and then run the car up and down the street a few times and then release it to you and you jump up and down like a school girl. It's fun.

theres a tuner by the name of TONY PALO, he's been around longer than anybody ive known, hes nationally known for his tunig skills, he used to tune kenny trans car..........when kenny was not sponsored and was actually good.....he has worked with Chris Rado and BOB NORWOOD,world renowned tuner and builder of Turbo Ferarri's. He was also THE FIRST ONE too build a twin turbo set up for the 350z, hes an expert at Emanage, Fast, Motech, you name it, hes tuned it, more reliably than any other tuner I know, ESPECIALLY velocity, his tunes are known for being reliable, and SAFE, and I know this first hand beacuse he has tuned my past turbo cars, Hugh also has the same thourough knowedge of his tunes. HE's the only one that will be touching my car when i build my motor and twin turbo it. He has his own shop now and I would highly recomend you give him a call before you talk to anybody else.

Tony is the shiet! All my built friends got well over 400 on a honda motor all reliable. He has been doing it for years professionally for the sport compact scene. He won't sacrifce your motor for power or numbers THAT is for sure!

alamo won't give a shat about you unless you got money to burn. They're all about rx-7, supras, and now evos
