Exclamation Power FC | FD | Tuner | Tune | Specialist in Southern CA | California | Cali

Hey guys, just thought I'd let everyone know about this, given the apparent lack of So. CA tuners.

A good friend of mine, who has done pretty much all of the major mechanical work on my car (engine, trans, tune), has asked me if anyone I know needs a tune for a Power FC equipped car. See my signature for his name. This guy has brought my car back from the dead, and it's pretty amazing what he has done in what little time he had.

I'm not sure if he can tune other ECUs, but I do know he has tons of experience with TII FCs. Trust me, this guy knows his rotaries and turbos.

My car runs like a raped ape, there's no doubt about it. Just ask the dozen or so STI, EVO, Corvette, Mustang, Nova, etc. drivers on my bad side If you don't believe me, I'll give you a nice ride in my 'hood. My zip code is 92354 and I am available after 7PM weekdays, and any time weekends (I'm usually in San Diego zip 92126 on weekends, so you can meet me there too).

He will street tune your car. He will dyno tune your car too, but he's looking for a dyno. If you know of anyone who is selling a dynomometer, please let me know.

If you need a tune, PM me and I'll give you his contact information. At some point in the next few months, there should be a website documenting the tuner, his work, and his shop, etc. Stay tuned!!!

That's the same Steve. He's kind of on his own 'lil gig now, though. I'm not sure if he still affiliates himself with that shop.

Here you go: Map

My understanding is that they will be moving their shop to Glendale in the next couple months. I don't know the address of the new shop yet...

Aww, don't move. I'm in Rancho, 2 cities over from Upland. I never knew there was a local rotary tuner around here. I'll pay a visit soon. Is the current place still up and running, or are they closed and in-midst of moving to Glendora?

They're in the midst of moving... I think their move should be complete in the next couple of months. If you need work done now, go by their shop! They should be there for at least another month
