It's been a long road, but my "build" if you will is finally finished and with help from Seb over at Specialty Z, I now have safe and solid base map to get me to a tuner.

I am stationed in Oklahoma City, OK and 2 tuners have my attention. As the title suggest it is between Kenny over at Jotech and Tony with T1. I have been speaking with both throughout my build. Tony hooked me up with some ID725's and clips and I've been taking sound advice from Kenny.

I know Jotech charges premium, but I hear good things. I also spoke with a guy at cars and coffee with a T1 built and tuned GTR who swears by them. Both are about 3-1/2 hours away and are actually some of the closest.

I am looking for a true tune/calibration. A safe, reliable, effecient and well rounded tune taking all factors into considerstion. Not just a cookie cutter tune or extreme timing tune etc...I am by no means a number chaser, but feel 350-375whp to me is the sweet spot on a stock block with proper supporting mods for reliabilty. Any input or recommendations? I've read a lot of both basic and advanced ecm and efi tuning books and the more I read the more it throws me. From what I gather there are tuners and then there are true calibrators...

Vehicle is a sound 2006 coupe 6mt (revup) w/ 56k. Vortech tuner kit, ID725's, walbro, UpRev's GT MAF, full UpRev tuning software, MREV2 w/ spacer, stillen headers, berk hfc's, borla cat-back, stillen oil pan, custom 19 row oil cooler, JWT clutch and fly, HKS ignition amp (not really needed I know) koyo rad, boost gauge, dual wideband gauges and other little stuff...

 

Neither, you need to research more in the locals section...Steve Kan at PRT performance does all the tuning for g's in this area. He knows our cars 110% inside and out FI or NA

Alright. Ill look into them as well. Appreciate it.

 

Did some research and Steve Kan seems to be a pretty darn good tuner. Honestly, I just had never heard of him before until now. We have been talking over email today and I am in the process of setting up a tune here in the next upcoming weeks. Ill keep you all updated.

 

Had my car tuned by Steve yesterday. Cool dude. Car pulls strong and is night and day from the base tune obviously, but this morning the SES light came on.

P2A00, bank 1, sensor 1 "range/performance" which is the primary (wideband) o2 sensor in the header. I cleared it 3 times and it keeps coming back... We will see.

 

Found out the reason for the P2A00. I need to make some mods to the pump housing. swirl jet and regulator to bring my fuel pressure down. That explains bank 1 issues and the wacky AFR's.
