No offense to anyone, but Alex is a great tuner and a great engine builder. But as with many Rotary shops out there sometimes they take advantage off their customers. Also a lot a times people talk **** about the person that thought them what they know.

If as a car owner your not capable of knowing what your engine is capable like how much hp your turbo can make at certain boost level, or how much fuel can your fuel pump can flow at any given pressure , or how fuel fuel can your injector combo can handle than anyone can take advantage of you. That's why manufactures do flow charts for injectors and fuel pumps, and turbo compressor maps.

A tuner can pretty much tune any ecu that you can bring to them, or any engine combo.

Hopefully I didn't hurt anyone's feelings

I've had Alex tune my current and previous rx7 and haven't had any issues with either one. Like stated above I think it's always good to know what your set up is capable of.

Come on let's do it, I dyno if you do,I want to see how accurate my 592 hp mustang dyno tuned FD is on another dyno.


Also best place to race like Jorge said is at track, anyone can win a roll race, but out of the hole is a different story.

I probably only run at 19 psi since is tuned on pump, can't afford 300 dollars worth of race gas at the moment to run high boost.

That's why I'm planning to switch to E85

his car isn't in question here. We all know that his car is fast.

That will be like having Perron in a match against Falito racing, do you think he would have a shot, not exactly.

+2

And TMR had their 7's tuned there for YEARS.... Alex helped them way back in the day. Safe to say their maps are probably based on the map Alex loaded on thier Microtechs from back then....

Funny thing is TMR tunes at WWR and when Alex is in town he uses WWR dyno to tune as well....

Just don't get why people talk **** about their previous tuner.....Give credit where it's due.... I'm sure what they know now is based on what they learned from Alex... It's Good that they learned to tune and build their own cars AND their track cars are FAST as **** BUT don't put down the guy who taught you....

Let's STOP all this bench racing with Dyno numbers...... If you think your FD is fast then take it to the track..... Numbers from the track DON"T lie..... It will tell you what your car is really putting down....

this is starting to sound like Supra owners...... talking all this **** about how high their Dyno numbers are....
