    does anyone know of any good tuning shops in CA.? I live in Northern cali and there aren't very many tuning shops up here. I'm looking for a shop/tuner that can install and dynotune stand alone engine management systems for my turbo Integ. I've heard/read about JG, RPS, Dynamic Autosports, KG Engineering. Anyone else?

    my setup is as follows:
    1.8L LS turbo with a built bottom end. I am currently running pump and regulator with the stock ecu. I want to maximize the potential of this setup and go stand alone engine management. I want it to be totally streetable as well as rip up the dragstrip. I know that to achieve this level of driveability it takes a good or even a great tuner who knows how to tune in all bands of the rpm range. Just wondering if anyone knew of a reputable tuner. I have thought of Javier at JG but I hear he tunes his cars mostly for all out race and that he doesn't tune very well for street. Let me know. thanks

    I haven't been to the track yet. I'm expecting high 12s on street tires. Eventually on race tires and race gas, I want to be able to run high 11s. I'm setting my car up more for the curvy roads than straight though. I want to have 300-350 ft/lb of torque at 3000RPM.

    regarding dave shihs crx silver bullet. I heard that he has since sold the car and is currently working on an RX-7 to run in the 8's or 7's.

    Dave sold the silver bullet to a dude in Ohio about a year ago and is working on a tube frame RX7 the last time I heard.

    Come to Socal for good tuning...dynamic, UPRD, and Harv`s are all pretty good.
