I'm aware that there are tuners on the island. After speaking with a few tuners via email and phone. One of the things that all of them agree on, is that just about anyone with a little knowledge can tune for peak power. But drivability and reliability, while getting the most out of your tune is a different story.

I am no where near being a tuner but I value the opinions of those who tune on a regular basis and have tuned more than a handful of s2k's. Not tryin to taking anything away from Sonics or any other tuner in Hawaii, its very possible that they might be great tuners. Its just that I dont know anyone thats been tuned by them...

i drive my car everyday and i cant say drivablilty is an issue if it were i wouldnt drive it. we flew down a tuner or dynamic's tuner to teach our tuner how to do it. and we have been making good numbers and great drivablilty ever since.

i might add that anyone who claims that they are a tuner and their tune comes out with bad drivability, i dont consider a tuner.
