KD Rotary tuning.....

Does anyone have experience dealing with KD Rotary for tuning an Rtek 2.0 ECU? I've been talking to them for a bit, but wanted some input if anyone has personally dealt with them. They seem to be pretty reputable from what i've heard so far.
Any input, good or bad, is welcome....thanks.


-Mike

They tuned my GTUs........

The power gains were standard, but the throttle response gains were tremendous.....it felt like i was driving a whole new car.

It's mainly due to Dave's timing tables, it's really really good for my car at least.

I was amazed at how different the car was before and afterwards.

Don't worry if he only makes minor changes to the fuel map, that's all he needed to do for mine. I may decide to fiddle around with it some more, but it's done a good job for me, I have a lot more breathing room when I drive the FC on a track (poconos, lime rock, etc...)

Let me know if you're going to go anytime soon, I'll stop by and assist with some of the tuning if you want.

Ok, tuning session on the 27 of March went really well. The rx made 240whp and 235 lb-ft of torque to the wheels. I'll have the dyno results up soon when I can scan them. Dave @ KDR Performance is a really amazing tuner and my overall experience with the shop so far is excellent! Anyone else thinking of having them tune your car don't hesitate to set up an appt. with them.

Nice, I was actually there on the 29th doing dyno runs. You might have seen my white FC? It was parked up outside.

Dave is an excellent mechanic and a great tuner. We tuned 370 RWHP/303 RWTQ out of my 13b-rew on stock twins, sequential, running 14 psi.

I wouldn't trust anyone else (aside from myself) to handle my 7.
