With basic bolt-ons, Kevin got an extra 26 whp and 19 lbs/tq over and above my dynoflash!! The car is a completely different animal after he worked his magic. There were no boost leaks, he just adjusted the AF ratio and timing a bit. How much power are you leaving on the table by running one of the "cookie cutter" tunes? We are talking full custom tunes!!

Kevin does all the work on my car and will ensure that the work is done properly!
I don't trust anyone else to put their hands on my car...

Evolution Engineering rocks!

I live down South of Dallas and commute to Irving with my car. I don't want to go crazy modding, but would like to put in a drop in and a tune just to lean it out some to help with MPG and get some extra performance to boot. On a stock IX is it worthwhile? I'm glad someone local is jumping into this. Thanks in advance.

Kevin is an engineer by profession and has quite a bit of experience on real race cars in addition to Evos. He is methodical and does everything meticulously. If I were looking for an individual to trust with my Evo, Kevin would be the guy.

He has done great work for NTEC members already, and we appreciate that he is willing to work so hard for everyone's benefit. Best of luck, Kevin on the new venture

Huge props for Kevin. Lets see what he has done for me...Cams, Clutch, Wideband, EGT, Boost Gauge Lighting, Wiring of my Zeirtronix, O2 housing, Exhaust Manifold. All done with professional quality. His wiring skills are second to none and he sticks by the work he does. Also what I like about Kevin is he explains all that he does. Went over to his house the other day and he was showing me how I can tune my own car. Find a tuner who shares his secrets with others so they can tune their own cars! Soon he will re-tune my car with alky and maybe a new turbo in the near future after this one dies shortly.

So Kevin, can you tune an EMS? I just picked up one to go with my new turbo kit I'll be installing very soon. I can do all of the turbo and sensor installation, etc., but I was checking to see what my options were as far as getting the tuning done. The EMS I purchased has the wideband built in, and I've already loaded the software to a laptop.

I was quoted a pretty high price for dyno tuning at a local shop, and history shows there's always an alternative somewhere.

Thx

Joey

Kevin, I just picked up a nifty tool to help with alignments. You're welcome to use my alignment stuff as needed. Glad to see you're getting things going.

Call me...

Oh.....that and we're both guys.

I'll just stick to letting you work on the Evo then.
FYI, cams should be headed my way in 2 days.
