I would haul my car up to Kent to get it tuned by BDC.

It was just tuned by a local tuner (Jason at PSI) that is pretty good, but his experience with rotaries is somewhat limited, and he was pretty conservative with the tune. He explained everything he did, and why he left off where it was.

Final result was ~300 RWHP, which is fairly conservative, though it was 101f in the shop at the time, so normal weather HP will be higher.

Is PSI the only tuner in Washington? Any really good recommendations? I can't wait for BDC and need a tune ASAP. Please PM me.

What's ur mods? Did psi tune yours with power FC? I only have the basic bolt ons: greddy smic and piping, hi flow cat and cat back and possibly intake. Is psi capable of a good tuning for this?

Single turbo, lots of mods.

Yes, it is with a Power FC.

PSI shouldn't have any trouble tuning it.

If this can be done in the seattle area you can count me in. Especially to get a nice fall weather tune. And if dyno useage is required i'm sure i can work something out with Bob at drift office. He has a very nice dyno setup. New self auditing dynojet.

I just realized I never asked if Brian tunes AEM computers? My car has a half bridge port and "possibly" by the time of the tuning, Methanol Injection.
I hope it is not a problem

I have a Datsun 240Z and I had it there some years ago for repairs and all I can tell you is that it was the worst shop I have ever seen. They not only screwed up my car but also took forever to do anything. Besides the screwed up things they did to the engine, there was a problem with the suspension that was extremely obvious and they "Couldn't see it" so I had to go there and show them. And it as something so easy to spot that a child could have pointed it out.
They also did things like paint with permanent marker the firing order number of the sparks in the expensive spark plug wires I had, something that anyone with a little bit of knowledge of that car knows by memory, specially that it is a 6 cylinder car, not a V12 or something more complicated.
I could write a lot more of the things that they did wrong but I guess this is sufficient.
