What are you using to tune with?

Lucas English at English Racing outside of Vancouver, WA is THE BEST in the northwest. Simple as that.

There's no reason to pay somebody to tune your car if you have Dsmlink. It's the easiest tuning software I've ever used and with the help of the guys on the Dsmlink forums, you'll get a perfect tune.

interesting ive never used it so i was just assuming i guess! but if its that easy! thanks for all the input i appreciate it!
also i talked to a guy that actually took his rig here to Pinamotorsports. and he said they messed his vehicle up really bad that they suck!

I went to Andre at Pina. Some say hes good some say hes not but he got 350 out of my car with 0 knock That was keeping timing and fuel safe using dsm link. Shooting for 400 out of my evo 3 with meth. He also tuned a red first gen that won battle of the imports using an AEM standalone. I think he was running low 11s on a rebuilt stock bottom end with some FP2xs.

Well at the Seattle BOTIs for the last 2 years running there have been 2 1G DSMs racing each other in one the finals for a specific class.

In the 2006 Street Class finals it was Lucas English in his black 1G vs. Jake Montgomery (Evil_Eagle) in his black 1G. Evil_Eagle won that one. And in 2007, the Street Tuner class, which I was in, ended up having Johnny (JohnnyTSi) in his black 1G vs. Steve (NewTurboTuner) in his red 1G. Steve won that one. And I did a reverse launch in my 1G... Oops... lol
