I'm SOS stage 2 supercharged and had my car tuned by Seth at Cartune/BH Factory. My experience there was good, and Seth is a good guy. However, my power figures were extremely disappointing. Made 345whp on a novi 1200 with a 3.4" pulley. I've seen countless amounts of people here making well over 400whp with this setup, but Seth said it's impossible for our cars to do so. That kind of weirded me out a bit. My car ran alright after the tune, but had some afr issues. I'm not sure what the deal is with my car, but everyone likes Seth so I wouldn't say no to him. But I think I'll be taking mine to PRT in a week or two for a checkup and dyno. I want another tuners opinion. My friend who has a very nice fd3s rx7 highly recommends Steve at PRT as well so that's where I'm headed to.

Steve is a super nice guy and spent several hours getting it right. He uses a mustang Dyno, so peak numbers aren't as high, but I am very happy with it. We left it fairly conservative since its a track car and will see sustained high rpm.
It made 351 hp. Super smooth and very responsive. I am using a low compression motor, so a little less was to be expected. The good news is, I saw 21 psi on the 38-91. We left it with a boost cut at 17 psi.
On the road it is really smooth and quick.

I should update my first post. I'm actually running a low compression motor with a new Kraftwerks C38-91 kit. Tuned on KPro. ID 1000 injectors. 3" straight exhaust from Berk header.

Oh that makes sense haha I was like, 38-91 is a rotrex isn't it? Lol. But I'm glad to hear that PRT was good for you. You would definitely be over 400whp on a stock compression motor. Does his mustang dyno actually read pretty low?

Nice to see so many supercharged local guys. I am in DFW area as well and have been street tuning my 05 Vortech setup myself. I have a FMIC setup and I am running K-pro with an RSX wideband setup wired in. Currently I am running a 6" crank Pulley with 3.8 blower at 10psi but once I get my 6.5cp and 3.6 blower pulley in I will have Jeff Evans do an e-tune. I paid him before he stopped doing e-tunes... Its nice to know there are some local shops with experience. Tony P was the only one to tune my RSX back in the day before GTRs so I am glad there seems to be some trusted shops for the S. Hope to see some of you guys sometime around.
