Id like to hear anyones opinion on Race Related. Specifically their dyno tuning. I know Nole99 had his nitrous kit tuned there, and Id love to hear from him. Thanks.

Hobbieholic had a bad experience there. Nole99 had his NOS done there twice and his head rebuilt once when his 100 shot NOS helped him crash a valve. James at Race Related is real good with Fords.

We did our dyno day there last year. James was a nice person. We didn't have any issues with the place.

Nobody is going to make everybody 100% happy. I'd say if you want to try Race Related, go ahead. You will likely have no problems, but some have. Nobody is perfect. If I needed something done to my car, I'd give them a shot.

What kind of problems did Hobbyholic have?

James told me of somebody burning a valve, but he said that was a 125 shot. Cant really blame him for that. Im having them install and tune a Zex kit with a 35 shot. He wants 360 for the install w/ RPM switch, and tuning. Its either them or SFP.

Did alittle searching, looks like he took it to Race Related and they recommended a 130 shot. Seems like they should know better. He told me he had tuned 4 juiced S2000's, so he's screwed up half of them. Awesome.

If that's what they "recommend", then I'd be cautious. Anyone knows that that's way too much. Where did you find that info?

HobbyHolics post.

Im looking for them to tune and install a Zex kit at a 35 shot. I may just go to SFP.
