What kinds of cars are you going to specialize in tuning? DSMs/3S cars only? Or are you guys going to be broad and tune Hondas and Domestics as well?

I have just heard of few horror stories on newer shops blowing up customer cars because of lack of real world experience tuning. Training and reading on the internet can only get so far.

Any of you going to AEM training by chance?
Training, yes.
Despite the many hours we have on a dynojet with the EMS (few different setups), s-afc's, gm maf-t's, dsmlinks, etc..we are also attending EFI University to make sure we all have the "basics" down. Of the dozen cars we have tuned on "other people's" dyno's, we've never had a problem and consistantly make good power on many setups.
We will stay mostly import on the tuning, but all are welcome to dyno.
The aem training is just a "how to" on to operate the software correctly. We already know majority of the in's and out's of them, but will probably attend the class as well.
I know on John's personal cars "we" have well over 200 pulls, and countless hours of street tuning, and tuning at 3 other facilities with a variety of setups and platforms.
But thanks for the inquiry .
We are not claiming to know everything, but we are very very far from worried when it comes to "nuking" a customer's car by doing a rookie mistake.
Finally, our personal cars will be the first to use the dyno.
