Barry Bodine tunes all the cars that come thru their shop and I'm certain he'll give you exactly what you want. Leslyn is your initial contact and knows her stuff as well so give her a call or email. If you haven't already you might want to look them up in the vendor review section. There's some good feedback there as well. |

+1000 for Draco. They're the only one's that have touched my STi since I bought it in 2007. Many favors and a couple broken axles (torque and a itchy left foot) later, they're still my go to place. If the Time Attack twins are any example, suspension and tuning are like bread and butter for Draco.

let's not get into a debate about who's better...they're both reputable mechanics that own great shops. If he lives near Draco then there you go, it's a no brainer. If he lived closer to Dale at B4R then that would be his obvious choice.

Thanks to all for feedback. I knew of DRACO and had been ion contact with them. Very helpful on phone but wanted to know of other options. Just to make an informed decision rather than just go with ease of access and overlook another good option.

I got my car tuned by Todd and he spent several hours (got finished around 9:30pm b/c Todd is so picky with his tunes!) on the road tuning my car just so it would be safe to get home and back to the shop at a later date (didn't have time to go to the dyno that particular day). I went back to the dyno later, and again, several hours later, I ended up with an amazing tune that put down some great numbers, and on the street, the car feels amazing. Todd even drove my car around on the street for a while after the tune just to make sure things on the street were in check. Customer service and support after the sale has been top notch as well! I'd definitely keep all options open and give Alex a call!!! www.motionlabtuning.com 704.527.0100 -Cooper MLT tuned 300/310 VF43, 750cc's, STi TMIC |

Why are the #$$%$# shops that everyone loves and trusts all the way up in North Carolina...=P All these Florida people hatin' on all wheel drive....
Anyone around my area have a tuner they trust? Still at a loss here in Tallahassee, looks like Jacksonville has nothing to offer right now, and the nearest shops that I can find really positive information about are in Marietta (6 hours), or Charlotte (8 hours) from me....any of you guys slipping through north Florida in the future? I'll even pay for your hotel room....will be a hell of a lot less than taking 3-4 days off and driving to Charlotte...=P -Pat |

Hey Mikey, thanks for the reply. The STi comes off the truck the 12th, so I'll probably have to catch you next time through town unless you recommend tuning one with <100 miles on it. I work for the dealer group that now owns Subaru in Tallahassee, so I'm sure I'll be in touch. Plan on putting about 325-340 to the ground in this hatch, so we'll be PayPal buddies soon....
Call me if you wanna stop by Tallahassee for anything when you come by, even if it's just to see the facility and meet the Subie guys! -Pat 850)-673-9543 |

Sounds good dude!! In regards to mile-age, drive the first 100 miles off boost, drop the oil, switch to Rotella T6 15w40 and get tuned. If you search through nasioc you can see what the 11's and 12's are producing in terms of dyno curves. Even on 93, they knock so hard at peak torque the graph looks like a shark tooth, lol. I'm in FL every month. If we can't meet, Ill definitely hook you up via e-tune then check the car out in person when I'm down next. Be good and congrats on the purchase!! -Mikey |

I already have an AP ready for when the car comes in, so I was going to drive the first 100 then at least flash it to the Cobb stock tune to alleviate the god awful emissions garbage that comes out of the box. God it's going to be hard to stay out of the throttle for 100 miles....
