Default Haltech Tuning

Looking into getting the car on the dyno and tuned. Any recommendations on which tuner to go? I am roughly located about 2 hours from D.C and Northern VA so I will have to drive the vehicle using the map Hal sent me over. So should I drive to Dynosty which is roughly 400 miles from me or head to another tuner. Options are Hills Garage which is 180 miles away or R/T Tuning which is 300 miles from me.

Thanks Guys

Take the drive to Hal.. I drove all the way from New Jersey and it was worth it IMO.....

As far as customer service Hal n Ed are great and after u leave they are still there for u.. I'm going back down in March after I thro the new block in...

Good luck...

Come on down to see us. Lots of people make it a minivacation or make a weekend out of it. I know it's a hike, but it will be worth the drive

In the time it took you to write that, you could have googled PFS

Click the link in my sig...

Give him time to respond he doesnt allow walk ins and works by appt only.

OP-what happened with your tune?

The car never did get a tune at PF supercars. I went up there with a misfire issues that was inconsistent and it ended up being an injector that was stuck closed and not firing. The guys at Dynosty had the next best available time slot open and I am glad I went there for the final tune.

Bigalow, my personal suggestion depending how far south you are in VA, is to get in contact with Dynosty.

Oh ok good stuff.

I thought maybe you had an issue with Ray's tuning.

What kit do you have and what were your numbers at Dynosty?

Alright, I'm on my mobile at a business conference in Texas but I I'll touch bases with when I get back next week.

Let me ask you this: is more important that the tuner know the engine or the tunning ems? I'm asking because I have a built RB that I want to get tuned with Haltech and preferably I want some that knows my engine and haltech but I can settle for either if need be

Lol, I followed your advice, waited...they're super busy so I chanced it and drove down there. The scenic/country view was nice. I managed to get booked for the 16th. Ray said youre good peeps and that you definitely know your chett when it comes to FI!

Finally got my Haltech today. Looks like a VERY good piece of equipment vs my AEM. I have the AEM series 1 which is meh but, regardless, I'm very impressed and can't wait to use the Haltech.
