Question Who Tunes ????

Looking for some recomendations, for tunning shops. I would prefer recomendations of shops that you have used, and indorse. My car has a JDM B16 with the standard mods. It runs like pooh. I have changed the fuel filter, plugs, checked the wires. Im not sure what else to do, so now I am looking for a credable tunner to check it out/set it up. SUGGESTIONS WELCOME.
Thanks.
Brian

Well if your lookin to Dyno tune I can suggest 2 people.

1) Mark, from TorontoStreetracing.com - Tunes some very high HP cars, and from everyone I hear is really good at what he does.

2) Camille aka T.O Tegs from TCC, I am going to get some work done by him in a week or so, then hopefully get him to tune it aswell, I also hear he is very good.

check your oil level...might not be engageing vtec from low oil...I've saw it before

runs liek pooh as in..?? vtec not engaging, smokes, bogs, take it to a mechanic and see..might be disty bad vtec wiring etc....you don't need tuning you need a mechanic at this point....tehn you need something to tune with ie vafc, hondata, Fcon, haltec, you need a device to tune in order to tune..

dingus88 you wher right about my vafc being out of wack. I got a tune up on Wed, at Alltech and then I went to the Dyno and had it tuned. It's a completly different car. Now I am liking the car again.
ps. the dyno I used was Dyno-Power. The guys name is Jeff. He really woke the car up.
I think I'm going to go for a drive now. Later.
