VA Why is it so hard to find a dyno shop in Northern VA!

Is there anyone else besides RP Performance that can tune RX7s...I have been trying to get ahold of them for a month now with no return calls.

Angel Motorsports in VA Beach or Speed 1 in Allentown PA are closest.

^ +1 to what he said.

I have no experience with Angel Motorsports, but I know that Speed1 is well worth the trip!

Yup, true story OP!

Its really a shame, cause we have two "local" tuners, Dee Demetrius and Ray Wilson, which are not really available for tuning (for one reason or another). Speed1 has GREAT communication with its customers, highly recommend them.

Just reserve a shop either up North or South and make a weekend trip out of it. Tune the car Friday. And hangout Sat. & Sun. Done

Wow I haven't heard his name in years "Dee Demetrius". I think he did one tune for me 14 years ago on my PFC.

My advice, get a trailer and pull the car to Speed 1. Dave is great and the only Tech I trust on my 7.
