Power FC tuner in WA?

Any recomendations? I'd like to get the FD I'm buying tuned for reliability purposes and not max power

I have heard that Ralph at Groundzero is the way to go for PFC's.

If I had a PFC that is where I would have went.

I had a chance to meet him at ABF this last year and was surprised with his knowledge. Also how can you argue with a guy that has 2 PFC'd FD putting out over 600hp each?

Absolutely. Ralph has more rotary PFC experience than anyone in the Northwest. He also tunes a bit on the conservative side, which is very wise. Be sure to call him well in advance and discuss your setup because he may require you to make improvements to your fuel system before he touches your car.

Ground-Zero is in Portland, of course, but if you want it done right it's not too far to travel.

Ralph is the only guy in the northwest to take an FD to for tuning IMO. Especially with a Power FC. He will tune it safe for the street. Just make sure your car is in tip top shape before you take it otherwise you will be spending a lot of time and money and still not have it tuned.

Ralph is the freaking man. On his safe tune last year, I ran a 12.4@117mph at 11psi in my FD. I've been a friend of his for quite awhile, and have has several cars tuned with him....all have made great reliable hp. CJ

Well I know Intec tunes PFC's but I'm not sure how familiar they are with rotaries, and I would rather go to Ralph... I think it's worth the drive and the money! Once I get the new motor in I'll be taking a trip down there
