As far as tuning I've heard great things about both Frank and CK. That would be a prefernce call on your part but I tend to the side of CK because he does more than just what you pay for most of the time. I've been running the Greddy turbo kit with the COBB AP for about 2000 miles now and no real problems besides the Greddy E-Manage and intial install hiccups. I think you'd be hard pressed to build a custom turbo kit for cheaper than you can buy one. I've heard great things about the Esmeril kit as I know Greek will agree and in all honesty I have no major problems with the Greddy turbo kit with the AP. Just do your research and ask questions and you'll find what's right for you. Oh and I am no running 11psi on the Greddy with no problems ;)[/b]


Actually, Frank does a lot more for the money than you will get at the vast majority of other shops, along with 20 plus years of Fuel Injection experience. He is also very accomidating when it come to prices for products. If you need performance parts or kits installed, PM me. My brother and I have been very busy at his shop and are willing and very capable for performance installs. We are on the Peak for the hill CLimb all this week, but we can get something set up for the near future.

I have an 05 AT rx-8 and am going to be purchasing AccessPort for the AT and would like to find a tuner in state with rotary tuning experience. My goal is create an 8 similar to Phil8's on the rx-8 club. This will include a transmission cooler, transmission and engine remaps / tuning, greddy s/c kit, etc. Does anyone know of anybody in the springs specifically to refer? I was thinking I might have to go to nevada or cali in order to get this work done...

I was at SR-Tuning yesterday and chatted with Frank for a while. He is very willing to work with anyone who wants an RX-8 tuned. He asked me to find out what it is that you guys have problems with and what your goals are. That way he can start his research to find solutions and what will give the best performance. He needs a car to be his first RX-8....so it may be one of those little or no charge situations for him to familiarize himself with the car and how the software lets him tune it. Just to make you all feel more comforatble with Frank's abilities, he just returned form Bonneville, where two bikes he tunes just set new world records.

So when someone is ready, pm me and I'll help get something set up with Frank.
I would also encourage you to join the forum in his page. He can answer questions there as well.
