You put a motor together that makes that much power and you don't know anyone that tunes?

And with no EMS?

G Dimension also tunes. You can give them a call and they will be able to help you out and let you know what EMS system to go with.

G-demension should stick to parts.

I only specialize in Dyno-Tuning (For Nissan Apps). Espeically SR20 applications.

G-demension doesnt have their own dyno they use another shop next door.

G-demension uses a dynojet, dynojets are for big numbers and full throttle pulls only, they cannot tune in steady state for throttle response

increased gas mileage, low end torque or monitor in real time the response back to timing cell changes and it's effect on wheel tractive effort

I have personally re-tuned a car that was tuned by G-demension and now one that another shop has done, thanks to a Shotty tune.

There is not such thing as a ONE STOP build shop in the United States for Japanese cars, that is only happening in the highly competent

Japanese racing shop community overseas and some locations that charge top dollar in Australia.

I can do the following

AEM
Autronic
Motec
Haltech
Apexi Power FC
Electromotive
Microtech.

This is my partener and co-hort (He does the Germans I do the Asians)

Dyno is located off Alicia in Mission Viejo.

+4 for Steve. Dyno Dynamics is the way to go, get ya partial throttle set up right. If you catch him on a good day, he's less expensive than than a shop too :)
