EQ Tuning available @ DB Tuned

Hey guys,

I have made several visits to DB Tuned in the past week to meet Paul and Rick who are both great guys. I had a chance to hang out in the shop, play with the dyno, show Paul around the ProTuner software a bit, and even meet some of the SRIC crowd.

Paul and I seem to agree on a lot of things having to do with business ethics and customer service in general, so we hashed out a plan that satisfied both of us and would make it possible for me to provide custom tuning using the DB Tuned Mustang Dyno. We figured this would benefit both of us and more importantly will be very convenient for anyone wanting to get a cusom tune from me in the Sacramento/Roseville area. I will be charging $175/hour for general custom dyno tuning and all AP/Dyno Tune package prices as mentioned on my website still apply.

Please feel free to ask any general questions here or PM or e-mail me directly with any specifics or to schedule an appointment. Otherwise, I hope I'll see most of you at the grand opening "shindig."

Thanks

You know, I don't think I would have ever seen this coming. But, I think this is a great thing. Good luck to both of you.

What am I?! Chopped liver?!

While discussing the future of Subaru performance work in this area, Ed & I had a lot of the same ideas, and a few different ones.
Ed has done some very impressive work in the ECU tuning dept.

I had some reservations about just how good/safe a "road tuned" map could be, so we threw his wagon on the dyno & compared the results; all torque/power numbers were within a few points of each other.

I know some here have their opinions, and that's exactly what they are.
And the past is exactly that.

Ed, I know I got labeled as one of the "bashers". My only beef was with the whole safety/legality issue of a road dyno, and wasn't intended to be personal. I'm glad to see you with access to the Mustang dyno, and I'm looking forward to seeing what sort of bad-*** cars come out of this deal! Good luck to you and DBTuning!

Sperry, everyone's entitled to their own opinions and I have no problem with opinions different from mine. Thanks for the support

I agree 100% with sperry, the reason that I had beef was because of the 'road dyno' safety issues. Good luck in your future business ventures with DB Tuned.
