need a good tuner in FL

I live in central florida, I have had my car tuned by Hector in orlando at aero comp and he is amazing. but I am looking for someone who is very familiar w/ FD's. I would love to have steve kahn do it but I have no idea how to find him. I am putting the single in soon and would like to get the tuning done with in the next 3-4weeks, any sugestions? BTW I live in about 2 hrs from tampa, orlando and west palm, I am right in the very center and dont want to have to drive/trailer too far.

I will be having my car tuned up here in north Florida shortly, let me know if you're interested in splitting time with a tuner to save some $.

Just start putting out a meet to have Steve Kahn come back to town. If you are unsure how to get the ball rolling, just look him up. His account name is Pluto. Good luck

He's probably the best tuner you can get for the Power FC

Hi. If you're going to use a single turbo set up, I *HIGHLY* suggest you use a full stand alone computer. I made the mistake of keeping the power FC in my car after i went to a T-78. I had so many problems that i literally ripped the **** out. Don't get me wrong, the power FC is *GREAT* for stock, or a lightly modded stock twin FD, but for single turbo, high power applications, rip that **** out and go microtech, or haltech.
Wow. I just saw how much of a late reaction this was. Heh. Sorry.

jason had his t78 tunned with a power fc & made 507hp @ 19lbs. with no ignition break up and a smooth start & a brappy idle. SO i dont see why its not ok to use a power fc & any single turbo!

I mainly like it since all the gauges are in the FC commander (view up to 8 things)

I dunno. I just had problems with it, even after tuning... Maybe it wasn't tuned right, but I was fouling plugs left and right with that thing. When I went Microtech, and tuned it, it went right away at 23psi on C16. It seemed to fix my problem, but hey, I'm probably wrong.
