NorCal tuner needed
 
I am in need of finding a megasquirt tuner with itb experience. It has to be dyno tuned as it is not street legal. I’m 2 hours north of Sacramento, sac and the Bay Area are where I’m sure I’ll have to travel to.
I have reached out to blacktrax and Vic Sias and waiting for responses.
Anybody have any other suggestions on who I might try to contact ?

M45 in Auburn. Travis is the man.
I have tuned my own stuff like forever and watching him tune (on software he didn't know) was amaze balls.
Dude is no joke.
I am running ITBs as well.

Thanks, I’ll check them out.
I hoped blacktrax or Sias tuning would have gotten back to me by now.

I haven't heard from Vic for like ten years. I guess not in my circle anymore...
I can't say enough about Travis at M45 though. Good pricing too. Although pricing doesn't really mean shit if you get a good tuner.
I have dealt with so many tuners that for some reason hated ITBs. Travis didn't even blink. Went right at it, head down until he was done.
The best dyno room I have ever seen as well. My first dealing with a Mustang dyno.. Great machine for sustained load stuff.

It’s hard to tell if Vic is still at it or not. Blacktrax I left a voice message and sent an email. Hoped to here something from him. I know it will take time to get a slot from anybody.
I agree cost does not mater. I’ve got a small fortune in this new motor. I just want a good tune on it. It’s a DP Autocross car.

I will give m45 a call and see what they have to say

I've tuned hundreds of miata's both in this NorCal (I'm in Sacramento) area as well as remotely (see signature/instagram/facebook) but not a whole lot of ITB experience. If I can be of help let me know.

PS: never heard of Jason and I know just about all the guys at M45 including Tony the owner and Travis their tuner. So that's interesting. They definitely are good guys though and the shop is reputable.

I am very aware of your experience. On my recommendation you just tuned a friend of mines sons car a couple weeks ago. We traded pm’s last year about tuning. If you are interested and we can find a dyno that would be great.
The tune is nowhere close other than starting and slow revs to 3500. Everything is new and bigger than I was running on the old tune.
I know very little ( and I’m not joking ) about tuning and the biggest hurdle I have experienced with itb’s is getting the 90 kpa switch point correct.

Shawns car? :)

And since you need a dyno I think there's 3 to choose from: M45 in auburn, FW in Rocklin, and Overkill in Sacramento.

compaddict 08-24-2019 10:24 AM

Shit it is Travis not Jason!
I fixed my posts.

No problem. Troy made an appointment with me to get this thing dialed in on the dyno at Overkill performance.
@nigelt this will be using a set of flowforce 380's :likecat: I'm going to start going through his tune shortly to prepare for dyno day on the 9th.

It made 163whp :)
Should make more once we spin it to 8500, but for now only 7500.

Try a run without the air cleaners.

ConeCrasher 09-09-2019 10:41 PM

It was great meeting Vlad and letting him work his magic on my car. It has a good tune now and I can have some fun.
Might be able to gain a couple hp by removing the filter but I like the protection of having it.
This was on a dynomite dyno. Results may vary from the dynojet world.
