A place in CA called EFI specialists. Kheim over there has been awesome, i sent him my ECU and he tuned it for me for all the things i provided i had. Turnaround was 1day. Yea, one day, amazing guy, he is the most helpful person i have encountered thus far.I have not yet dyno'd my car yet, but i expect great results. And the price is way under the $500 other places charge. I am not saying that they aren't worth it, but this is another alternative for the others out there.I suggest you give him a call before you buy another tune, he also does re-tunes for $40 compared to $100... prices may have changed a little though so don't hold me to it. I can't stress enough how enormously helpful this guy is.

His number is *REDACTED* and the website is http://www.efispecialist.comand no i don't work for them, i just wanted to give a heads up to anyone out there who thinks $500 is a little much for a ROM tune, oh yea, tell him I sent ya

The thing with Enthalpy and JWT is they have a reputation already built, and know just how far they can push a tune safely. Khiem might be an excellent tuner but he's not as well known and when it comes to a $2500 motor, I'd rather spend the extra and know I'm going to be safe.

this does look good. they all started the same way i'm guessin huh. JWT from what i have heard is too long of a turn around. and nothing yet from enthalpy except prices, i think. or that could have been rhombus.

Everyone backs their work and I've seen some really major power made with rom tunes that ended up running to lean and cooking motors. Someone with very few posts creates a new post that looks a WHOLE lot like an advertisement makes me a bit untrusting. I am in no way saying this guy doesn't know his stuff, I'm just saying I want to see some end results, dyno graphs, A/F charts, long term users of his roms, etc before I trust my investment to him.
