Tuning Shops in Seattle Area
Hey,
So I did some extensive searching here on the forum and found a couple of threads that had a list of shops that do tuning for our rotaries. Only issue is those threads are from 2009... and even then there weren't any "good" tuning shops around this area. (at least per the threads comments)
So since I need to have it tuned, I'm taking another crack at seeing if anyone around these parts knows a good tuner, any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I wasn't aware they did tuning... at least not from the stuff I found searching around. did you get your car tuned over there?
I'm dropping one of those brand new Mazda motors in the car here in about 2 weeks, don't think I want to take it in that kind of road trip for its break in miles.
with that said, from everything I read, the Power FC should have a pretty safe base map to get me through those break in miles. I'll give pineapple a call, thanks!

You may be right on the tuning......I have not had a tune by him.
I met him a while back he is a great guy and I hear good things about his engine builds. If he does not tune I would expect that he must know someone good in his area that does.

I had the same difficulty searching for tuners in Seattle back in 2009...
You might be able to coordinate remote tuning depending on your EMS. Might try reaching out to a tuner to discuss options. Dan Kuo at Garage Life has been tuning my 7 from when I started with PowerFC through my conversion to adaptronic. He's been known to fly out to tune cars if you can arrange for dyno or a road to tune on.

turns out I got in touch with Marko over there, nice guy. once I get my FD up and running I'll head north and get a good tune done by those guys, everything I've found on them so far seems to point to a good tuner. thanks for the heads up.
