a lot of emanage users get very good results with Jon @ HB speed in westminster...better results than at Church.

SP may or may not be good, depends on who is doing the tuning. They are a long time greddy authorized dealer and have tuned many high hp cars like you said, but as far as i've heard, they aren't known for their emanage tuning.

SP engineering are great tuners. I think they used Fcon V pro and AEM EMS to tune a lot of the cars they do. If I were you I would ditch the Emanage and go Kpro or EMS.

James is good he tuned my car after I had Church do it and he fixed it and made it run a lot better.

SP is very good too they have tuned lots of freinds Evo's and S's (but may be a little higher priced).

John @ HB sped is also good and has lots of experience with E manage (cant go wrong with going there and the price is good too).

Good Luck!

see neveronlines2k's post above yours for another example..

he went to Church first and then someone else to fix and get a better tune.

i've heard of a few people who have done this also. Church is a good tuner, you don't get such a good rep from being a bad tuner, but it seems there are increasingly more people who retune with others for better results. Some think that Church just isn't putting the most effort into some of his tunes anymore. i have no personal opinion on this matter, i've never tuned with any of these tuners. I'm just stating the experiences that i've read online recently.

thanks for all the help and input.
No problem I think you will be pleased with the tune

I know there are lots of people here who swear by Church's and I am sure when he puts the effort in you get one heck of a tune (I just feel that there are not many cars that get a full tune from church's). After visiting Churches my E-manage had about 15% of the entire map tuned.... after James tuned it I think we had about 92% or so of the map tuned and the car was a lot stronger (noticeably, I didn't compare peak numbers because of using different dyno's + Churches Dyno's tend to read very high).

As far as HB Speed is concerned I have not heard one complaint and they wil actually be tuning my car next wednesday so I would def recomend them too

If he's proficient with Emange, I'd definitely go with Jon

Not many like, or know how to tune on Emanage.
