who's tuning n14's now

Hello, Ive been busy getting ready for the racing season and been away from the forum for awhile. In the mean time my 08 s model is requiring to be bored and forged pistons installed. Since this will be a full and complete rebuild. The ported head will go back on the car along with the schrick cams. I already have a new ko3/ko4 turbo from gpop that I might use pending some opinions about current tuner abilities.
The car will be built as follows: ported and flowed head, 248 schrick cams, AEM intake system, catless down pipe and full DP back exhaust, and of course the Forge front mount intercooler.
who is the latest a greatest tuners in the philly/south jersey area ? also, im willing to travel up to 4 hours in any direction if they have a dyno to accomplish this tune. thanks in advance
the car is dead in the water at this point.

Either Battle with the OBDII tuning device. Then take it to a dyno or Brentuning in Connecticut. Good luck!

Thanks rob. The car is at 183,000 miles. It's finally took a hard dump. Only runs on 2 cylinders now. Might as well pull all the stops out this time.

Hello Mr Sprint cars checkout the above build thread that Greek son of a gun has gone hard core and every mod he's tried he's one hundred percent honest on if it works or not. The first page list all his mods including the forged pistons he's using.

Well if you're near Philly and have an N14, the best possible solution is to wait until RMW does a visit. As I recall, they're usually there sometime in the summer.

I'm not positive if Jan will want to work on someone else's engine build (you can check), but if he will, he's got the best track record.

Thanks scubby. I'll do some racing first. I'm trying to decide if I'm gonna play it safe with using a fresh stock head. Or a ported head with cams. No comment on RMW. This thread isnt to hash that out again.
