Carl Martin is one of the best but is very busy and told me he couldn't come out to tune due to his family and racing. Since you live in Utah, it may be easier to get him to tune. Look for the Orange FD with the licence plates Nasty7 at any big race in Utah and he should be there. He also said he sometimes post on the local car board there but not sure which one. He said he is never here on RX7club.com

In Utah

Hi, if you are in Utah, try Carl Martin or you can try http://www.pre-auto.com/ and talk to Chris. He has a shop for rx7's specifically.

yeah, but i wouldn't trust Chris to tune anything, he's just a body guy pretty much. No offence if you read this Chris.
Karl, yes its spelled with a "K", is usually a very busy guy, especially since he just had a kid. Karl rebuilt and ported my 20b for me, but i'm going to have Christian Krahenbuhl tune my 20b. Christian tuned my 2-rotor, and did a hell of a job. He now works at Cobb Tuning, as their senior tuner. All he does is teach people how to tune, so he's a VERY smart guy when it comes to tuning, and is well versed in many platforms. He actually teaches a class on how to tune, i can't wait for the next segment.
anyway, that's who i'd recommend.
i'm pax on slcrotary.com if you have any more questions.

Im going to be in SLC from Aug 18th thru the 27th if anyone is interested in tuning. Send me an email jason@rx7store.net
We can either do it on the road or find a dyno.

Jason-
dont you have a place in Park City? i remember i was gonna try and have you tune my 13b after my rebuild and single went in.

Cobb Tuning is 15 min. from the airport with a fully loaded mustang dyno, and Phantom is about 20 min., they have a dynojet i believe.
oh, Cobb also has a mustang dyno out at MillerMotorsportsPark. You should really come check it out when you're here on vacation. Un-be-leavable!!

I can talk to them about dyno time if someone needs it.


drft hrd, i also have a red FC. just an 88 GXL, i drive that when i dont want to put lots of miles on my Audi.
