Mariah Motorsports can tune the Apexi PFC on your 3rd gen. www.mariahmotorsports.com

Located in Santa Barbara.

I don't know of any others in LA, except XS Engineering.

OK so ive searched and have found a couple different places.
1. R&R in upland
2. XS Engineering
3. Rotary Reliability and Racing
All three seem to be good but there is not one shop that everyone agrees on. My car isnt anything crazy just intake dp, mp and cb. I heard XS does a full diagnostic before hand so I am leaning towards them.

You could also PM Guitarjunkie on this forum. I know he can tune pretty much any stand alone EMS on the market. His quality of work is great and his prices are very reasonable.

Another option is Speed Machine Performance out near Irwindale. Dave Gibson is a great guy and does top notch work.

Dave, I already PM'd Jaime about your Haltech services. I believe that he is planning on contacting you. Now back to your regularly scheduled thread.

so let me get this straight, if you take your car to RR&R, they send it to XS? (and do they add markup?)

They mention "dyno tuning" still available on their site at: http://www.rotaryracing.com/rr_dyno.htm

I was looking for someone to tune a PFC in So. Cal about a year back. The selection was pretty weak. Ended up flying Steve Kan out to do the tuning. Glad I did.

Yeah...good advice from a choad with a carb'd engine. Try working on keeping your engines from leaking, leave the tuning to those who actually know what they're doing.

I dunno Dave, we might want to leave him alone. He might have to school us on the secrets of engine building and then threaten to beat us up. Just in case, I'm gonna leave my lunch money at home tomorrow....rofl.

your boss needs to fire you for making him look bad.

if he's willing to have a 2-digit iq like you work for him, he shouldn't be in business. just think about how much business you lost for him with all your idiotic remarks.

What the hell are you trying to say man! English muthafucka, do you speak it?!? Championchips? Are those a new type of Sun Chips? Shut the hell up already, you do more damage to yourself and your bosses rep every time you post.
