A good place for tuning?

I live in Lewiston, Idaho which is about 90 miles away from Spokane, WA. I was wondering if anyone knew of a good shop that can dyno tune my RX7. I have some slight mods on a 89 Turbo II and a Greddy Emanage Blue with support tool that I wanted to get tuned right.

I was kinda wondering this also, as I will be in pullman when and I will be needing a tune. I was thinking of heading down to cork sport... Since I missed steve kan, where would you guys recommend next? I am willing to drive anywhere in WA, northern and north eastern OR, and northern ID.

Thanks

Greddy eGarbage... Almost anyone can tune those, but it's not a good system to run. Especially since most people haven't had much success with it, more-so on rotaries. It's a horrible piggy back unit. I'm not sure how easy it's going to be to find someone over there who will be able to knowledgeably tune a rotary... Maybe some of the eastsieders can help you out there.

What kind of motor (ported?) and mods are you running that you want tuned for? You may want to look into a reflashed/preprogrammed ECU. I don't think you're going to be pleased with the Greddy unit. I haven't talked to a single tuner or person using the system who could give a good review. Just a heads up.

Tweak, Ralph at Groundzero is a great option for a tune, and pretty much the ONLY option in the NW for rotaries (my opinion of course)

Is groundzero the place right next to corksport I hear so much about? Or am I mistaken? It will be at least another 3 weeks before I get my e11 back from haltech... I keep getting the itch to go mess with my car ... but..

update : 18091 SW Lower Boones Ferry Rd Tigard, Or 97224 yeups looks like it.

Yep that's them and that is there most recent address. They changed locations a couple months back moving over to Tigard. He's a great tuner. Works a lot with Pineapple doin their customers' installs and tuning. And he owns a 700+ hp FD

Ok .. cool thanks. How would you compare him to steve kan? Quality, way he tunes, price and such?

There is a reason that I fly Steve out to tune. Enough said.
