At some point early in the year, I might be taking a trip to Tampa for a few days. I'll post up when that is happening so that those who are interested can set something up.

Even if only 3 people got together for a Dyno Day it is less expensive per person than any other tuner out there.
Take a look at what the RX-7 guys pay for just a single calibration!

^^^ he speaketh the truth guys.
Talk to the guys up in the NW who recently did a dyno day and even though there were only a few of them it was much cheaper then other tuners out there **cough cough Steve Kahn **cough cough** and definitely worth the effort / $$ .

From my experience, hiring Jeff for your own car is still cheaper than looking locally, even with plane tickets/hotel factored in.

But as we all know, it's not about the price, it's about the knowledge. Nothing sucks more than paying a lousy tuner to blow your engine. About 30 minutes before the video (shown below) was recorded, a tuner blew the engine in a Civic(?). That made me nervous. Jeff's tune was spot on even working from scratch (all new injector configuration)

I'm on a TBD status right now. Trying to sort out my low compression issues first then I'll buy the Cobb and have Jeff tune it. Hopefully be ready soon.
