Subaru shops in Houston TX
Hey guys, I was doing research on here for if I get an STi and I was told that the Cobb AP is not the best way to tune your car (base maps anyway) because they run rich. What are some good shops in Houston to get a custom tune done at?
TIA -Hell Ride

SGP Racing is another option, or taking the drive and going to MZM to get a protune.

Engine Logics is in Houston. They have good tunes. If you go to the track alot, have Brad richen your curve some more.
MZM is in Austin. There is another shop that people have been raving about lately in the New Braunfels area. Corey is the tuner there, but I forget the name of the shop. Search more, post less n00b. |

Been searching, the problem is that all the posts seemed to point to Engine Logics or EL as I have seen it referred to. I was just curious what else I could do. I had heard about SGP, I need to search to see if I can find reviews on them.

If everyone recommends one certain shop, I would take that as a hint.

Well sure, I understand that but I would just like to get some insight from anyone who has gone elsewhere and what kind of service and results they have seen. I'm curious. I don't have the car yet so I want to get a good feel on everything. I'm 99% sure that EL is the best but it never hurts to look, right?

I would recommend flying in Ed (Vaus) form EQ Tuning or Chris from XX Tuning. Chris is coming to visit shortly (see a few threads down). Yes, I know they're not Houston local. Search their s/n to see why I recommend them.

Every STI graph I've seen always has a lot of mid-range torque. Brad's graphs are the only one's that I see where peak tq is the same as peak hp. I guess he tunes very conservative.... This particular STI is barely hitting stock boost levels. http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1339816 http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1339816 |

I do installs (see sticky at the top of the TXIC forum) at reasonable rates, and engine logics will be a good place for a tune...
there you have it... |
