They are a company that specializes alot in RX7's and have probably done a ton of PFC rx7 tunes. I never did any business with them when I had my rx7, but I would recommend going over to rx7club.com and asking there. You will get more responses.

Thanx, how about Sound Performance in Bloomingdale? They quoted my $200/hr, 2.5 hours. He has done them befor. As far as A*Spec's rep., I did find a magazine article on them, they sound pretty good. But Sound performance has a couple 9 second cars on FC's under their belt. Granted, they are both 2jz powered cars, but they must know what the are doing.

Dang! Where were you about 2 months ago? We were trying to line up five cars that were interested in getting their cars tuned by Steve Kan (Gotham Raching) in the Quad Cities in April. We couldn't get five cars, so we couldn't lock him in.He's an excellent tuner, and tunes PFCs primarily. He was charging $400 plus dyno time.Now he's not coming to the midwest until June in Minneapolis.

Sorry man, been a long project. Ya know, wife, kids, house, work, weather. All getting in the way.

I get her all done, we should meet up. You'll have to let me know when there are good events at the track in Newton.

Ask almost anyone in the rx7 world and they will tell you that Steve Kan is the closest thing to a god you can find when you need your RX7 tuned.

Yeah, definately. I think the first race in Newton is next Friday night. And about every Friday night this summer.

My car is out of commission right now with a turbo upgrade, but hopefully I'll be going in 3 weeks or so.

Mine may be a bit longer. I need to get cams here and install, weld up the cage, paint and tune. If weather holds out I may paint this weekend. As long as it is over 65 degrees. I will probably weld the cage up tonight and tomorrow night. It is all cut and bent, just needs welded.
