Hmm.. kind of a broad question here, but ill reply to you. I guess i should ask first of all things what are we tunning? What is your setup? What are your power goals? Is it turbo or NA? What fuel management do you have? Honestly if you are looking for some feed back ill have the guys that I've tuned chime in.
Any futher questions about us you can PM or give us a call at 816-241-0011, and I'll be happy to answer any questions or concerns.:thumbsup:

Well considering I have had both a street tune for my single cam boost to my current setup that was put on the dyno recently. I will be the first to assure anyone, that I would never have any problem letting John (the tuner) mess with anything I own. He has been in the game for many years and been nothing but successful. He has tuned many setups from basically stock, all motor to boost applications before my eyes and many others. My current setup is a B18C with a tomzilla, 450cc injectors and a cheap manifold. While on the dyno john was quick to realize that I had a stock fuel pump instead on the walbro that was supposed to be in. First pull my car made 237hp at 8psi and I was bummed, John turned right around and messed with some stuff and the car put down 292hp and 203tq cutting out at 7k rpms due to the stock fuel pump! The new pump is in and we are awaiting the new ramhorn manifold and 880CC injectors that will hopefully be in this week. John does take his time and puts everything he can into his work with no shortcuts, he also explains anything you ask. While giving some advice on what to do next, so you can meet your goals! Dyno day is just around the corner, and it should be a great turn out. Hope to see you there.....

Seen John tune hell I've seen all shops tune and they all do just fine in my eyes.
John is very picky if you ask me and will fix any bugs or odd problems the car is having he's a great guy.
I give John a big thumbs up and would never think twice about letting him do anything to my car.

I drive the Integra my Buddy drives the del sol.
As Kaylin said I was down there pretty much all day monday watching him tune and let me just say John amazes me and does not give up trying to fine the problem.
I give yet another huge thumbs up to Jt auto as I do too all shops.
What these guys do from day to day isn't something everyone could do this goes past just being a job but a passion and a skill they have to be able to work on cars and keep everyone happy at the same time.
Be thanks to John again!

John tuned my car last Saturday. I got to his shop and he started right away. He did about 4 pulls and on that pull it back fired and shut off. We started with the obvious and it ended up being the ground on the block in which John fixed. We did one more pull after that and it was good. It made 204hp and 150trq. It was a f20b on a b16 tranny. I had drove it for almost 2 hours to KC then tuned for 2 and 1/2 hours. Then drove it back almost 2 hours. I also forgot to say it was revving to 9k stock internals. I never got on it until I got close to where I live. I went from stop 1st pull good, 2nd pulled good, 3rd pulled good, and hit 4th and dropped a valve. It cracked the piston bent the rod and valve stuck in head.

Im got a h22a bottom on the way from hmotor. I already had a head so putting crower springs and retainers in it. I got arp head studs for it aswell. Oh ya wish the f20b would have made it to ifo aswell because it ran damn good compared to what it did before tune. I dont think gonna make ifo though. Ill be there to watch but not run.
