Looking for dyno tuner in seattle area

Ok so im just about ready to get my T2 proffesionally tuned. I am looking for someone in the seattle area who is used to rotary engines, has a dyno, and can tune my Rtec 2.0.

Any Suggestions??

If you want to make the trip, I hightly suggest Ralph Friend at Groundzero motorsports in Portland. Do a search and you'll find many people recomend him. CJ

I don't think there are really any rotary specialist tuners in the Seattle area to tell you the truth... There are, however, several dyno tuners in the area mostly on the eastside

I was actually figuring i would end up going to the portland area for it. Corksport and pinapple where my first thoughts. There really isnt any body in the seattle area I trust for Rotarys right now.

I know that Rob will probably have you go to Ralph, as they are good friends. CJ

I just picked up my fresh rebuild from Pineapple yesterday. I asked Rob about good Dyno shops and he recommended to see Ralph at Ground Zero. They happened to be open and were only a 15 min. drive away so I decided to stop by. They had a quite impressive collection of imports in and out of the shop- I asked Ralph about tuning time for my FC with a APEXI Power FC I'm planning to purchase. He wasn't aware that there was a Power FC available (at least in US) for my car, but estimated tuning time to be around 3 hours or so. Since Rob sends a lot of his RX-7 customers to Ground Zero I'm seriously considering going there once I've broken the motor in.
Rob also recommended Jerry (Jerrys little cars in Kent I believe) as the one place in Seattle, but I haven't been there nor heard of a Dyno at the shop (Rob didn't know if he had one either).

Kind of a late comeback for this thread. I might have to check out Jerrys little cars and talk to them. Right now my concern is that I am using a rtek 2.0 and I am a little worried that since most nobody knows them they would be affraid to touch them. As soon as things settle down for me money wise i'll be able to get it tuned.

there just really isn't much in seattle for our little engines any more
