I'm getting tuned by Jeff Evans, he's the only person I trust tuning my cars. As far as danbury the only 2 places I can think of is either EFI or AMR, both of which I wouldn't let touch my car.

Just from my friend . He spent alot of money there on a rebuild and then the owner tried to rip him off on the tune. Heard a few other things too but I'm not here trying to bash. I'm sure everyone has good and bad experiences with all performance shops. Jeff Evans is my go to guy. He's been around for a long time.

AMR doesnt do engine builds just tuning. They send builds down the street to F1 motorsports. What shop fors your guy work at?

So I ended up making 280whp and 312 tq
Pretty happy with that . Unfortunately issues arose. The stock fuel pump was losing pressure at redline, so we added a Walbro 255 pump and while we were at it my mechanic sold me a greddy bov. Hooked up everything up and the car ran normal but at wot it ran really bad. Thought it was just the fuel pump running rich. Get back to the dyno and I have a major boost Leak. Get it back to the shop and the greddy bov is leaking bad. Get that repaired and the car is running really strong.

Notice the CEL is flashing indicating knock. Hook a wide band and I'm running really lean. 13.0 in the high rpms. So bought an aem wide band and boost gauge. Retune is the 20th

Howd you only make 280? Are you keeping it conservative?

Had my first official run today against a newer style white sti. Pulled up to me at a stop light had an exhaust and an Injen sticker on the window , I'm assuming he had an Injen intake then. I pulled on em quite easily. Was fun. Saw him nodding in approval as I was pulling on em lol.

i have ancupgraded frontmount with short route piping, o2 dump and a turboback and i made 370 on a dynojet. You should be somewhere in the 300s with what you have done and itll still be safe
