Default MO Utec tuner?

just curious if any Missourians had a Utec. if so where did you get it tuned? Deciding on unichip or utec.
the only reason for the unichip is b/c i know someone local who can tune unichips. anybody know any shops around the stl area?

that sucks, i just figured he did cause he does the emanage and hondata, but i know a couple of guys with utec and i'll ask where they got theirs tuned.

this is the second car that i've had that was built by them an never had a problem. the only reason my last car blew up was from overboosting which was my fault (went a little crazy with the boost controler heh).

but yeah i'll see what i can find out from my friends

my best friend/0ld roomate put your car together adam the shop manager, he told me your car was a pia and of the tranny issues?? but said it ran like a champ. yeah you would think w/ susies skyline and chucks 240 they would be into the utec or hks fcon???? but this was last year when i was there so they might now?????? but i doubt it, as most of their clients are hondas.

^ i had tranny issues when they first built it but the tranny was sent to level 10 and made pretty much bullet proof for the cars current hp range. Everything has been on the car for 3 years now pretty much without any probs.

but so far i haven't found a good utec tuner around hear. i found one guy but i heard alot of the cars he tunes blows up heh.

Any good tuner should be able to look at the software and figure out how to tune it in an hour or two. With people out there tuning their own cars on the dyno, an experienced tuner should be able figure it out quickly.

Hey guys if you want to get stuff installed,etc you can email adam @ acallender@gmail.com he is the shop manager at adrenaline so he's familiar w/our cars. he said he didnt want to do any twin turbo installs but you never know money has a way w/people. and it would be cheaper than taking it to the shop. if you guys have seen his z06 you know he's **** and can do good mechanical work and he lives right in yall's area also.
