Who is the best place for your money to get you car tuned? Chris gave me Shindleys email but he never responded, is there a phone # I can reach him at? Also where is the best place to buy electronics like an afc, ebay, or is there a local place I can get one?

acf? or you mean afc? Yeah you can get them off ebay. I've sold a couple of them on there for $150 ea. not too long ago. If you decide to get one off ebay, do a search on s-afc If you do it on acf you won't find didly.

Good luck.

Just go to Elite and pay to have Shane tune it on the dyno.

Yeah, that is the best choice, but then they'll also have to pay to have the VC swapped and that combined with tuning can get pretty pricey. Schindley won't give you the best tune for power, but at least the car will be plenty driveable and decent. If you feel confident about swapping in a welded VC yourself by all means have the car dynotuned instead. I'd offer to do it on the street for you since you live so close to me, but dumbass me went and put the batteries in my Palm backwards and corupted my Pocketlogger software. After reinstalling it, I realized I no longer have the registration codes for it since I sold the logger and cable.

Anyways, here is Schindley's number: (763) 263-2713

Why even bother getting the VC swapped? Just go to the AWD dyno @ RS Motors.

Good idea! They are so great at tuning DSMs.

::EDIT:: happy? Chill out. And further more, would you prefer someone like shane tuning ( proven himself to be a swell tuner) or some person not NEARLY familiar with the cars?

I'd have to agree, RS Motors hasn't proven that they can tune DSMs yet.
thats not a real AWD dyno anyways.
Please tell everyone why that is not a real AWD dyno.

im pretty sure 1 set that rolls just ROLLS, doesnt measure anything. I wouldn't feel right dynoing my car there, so I couldn't prove anything. My friend said that the one set rolls free just making it easier to throw on an AWD.

also, from people I know dynoing there.. They claim they put down 15-20 more HP on other dynos. There are more variables, but i guess the way ron has it calibrated isnt accurate for weight. Again, this is what I was told by people that own hondas. Ive never been in there myself beyond the front door. Wasnt very comfortable talking to someone about why hondas are so great? lol, i left.
