that's the place to be when it comes to motorsports in the U.S.

there may be good tuners out here in the Bay Area, BUT the race geeks are all there in SoCal....

there's Road Race Engineering when it comes to suspension setup, etc....

then you have the playgrounds: Laguna Seca, Willow, Streets of Willow, Buttonwillow (we have Infineon and Thunderhill... )

I've tried both WORKS and Vishnu: both have different ways to go about working with the ECU...bottom-line: I think both do an excellent job (don't listen to those haters ); and yes, I'm lucky I live close to them.

I am currently saving up for the HKS unit...I want the real deal ....plus I'm tired of my P0300 error....

*thanks for the info on those brake ducts....at this point, I am willing to try anything that would cool down those brakes
Laguna Seca is waaaay closer to norcal than socal.

But yeah, Road Race engineering tunes, so does XS engineering, so does Harman Motive.

I know exactly what you mean....
If I only knew I was going to have this much fun on the track - with this car - I would have approached tuning the car a totally different way!

I would've focused (or, put my $) on suspension, brakes, tires, and simply lightening the car
As it is, I have a car that has "too much engine, but not much handling"

Anyway....good luck with whatever you decide on doing
