They're pretty good. A few of us have had our cars tuned by them. Davis has had a turbo and an na setup done by them,
I believe roman had a turbo setup done there.

I believe they specialize more so in diablosport tuning.

Plus you'll get higher numbers off of their dynojet, hahaha

Is that the place were they own like 5 Dodge Stealths? Or am I thinking of another place?

Skip it, Roman's car was indeed tuned there, but that was when the guys from what is now Superchips was there. I was not satisfied with my $500+ of tuning and i don't think Davis was either.

justin mentioned something about it before. no other tune shop takes diablo besides them? I checked with DB performacance and thats what they say:

"We prefer SCT over Diablo, but when all else fails, we do have the ability to do custom Diablochip tunes."

so i don't know if they want to take you in straight up with diablo.

I can get the tune/dyno at half off, but mine is an 05 and I looked at Diablo's website and they only make stuff for up to 04 on the Focus. So I have to call them and figure it out.

I'd go with whatever the shop knows more about.

If it was me, I'd want the hand held tuner, options can be adjusted in it, and you can use it to scan/reset codes. Not sure if diablo has anything like that.

They did my car, very friendly guys they seem to be more into big V8s than our cars. Last time I was there they had 3 vets with blowers bigger than my engine 2 vipers 1 of them was a hennesy getting nitrous and a couple blown mustangs.

i got tuned there. but it was one of the first times that he had ever tuned a FI focus so it wasnt the best tune. but they do really know there shit when it comes to tuning. but in the long run i ended up driving the 17 hours to get my second tune at mcnews :twisted:

With the mods to your car I would think you could get a decent tune from one of the suppliers on the Jet that would probably be just as good or better than what you would get at Hi-tech since the guys on the boards specialize in Foci and tune them all the time.

Plus many offer new tunes for free or at really good deals once you have the tuner.

If you are wanting everything your car can put out, you don't want a mail order tune, besides that, a mail order tuner can not dial in your cams ;)

can we get a mail order tuner? I am sorry, but somebodys sister is going to have to make the sacrifice and marry some high quality Focus tuner from Europe.
