Deff more clearcoat this time. Dyno/open source tune. Lake placid is far. Thats why he is more available. He has been doing tunes for years and years. He isn’t bad at it. My comment about fwd, awd and rwd was not clearly expressed till after. I’m not dumb, nor am I ignorant. Morgan has never cracked open an EvoX ecu…its that simple. I just dont want to be the first. Am I such an idiot for making that claim? Mr. Werewolf and I already discussed the climactic and elevation changes. He tunes car from this area more than you know…If morgan didn’t have an AWD dyno now then this conversation wouldn’t be happening. You guys would tell me to go to connecticut or buffalo or lake placid. There isn’t (until a couple months ago) a CLOSE awd dyno tuner. I have been looking at moon since I bought the car. Synapse wasn’t an option then. I narrowed it down to the Conn and LP tuners and talked to both and the Conn tuners seemed like jerks to me on the phone, both guys I talked to. So since Taylor and Jim were nice AND knowledgeable, not just smart, they’re getting my business. ^^Thats sooooo unheard of in the world of customer service…two very good shops, with well built reputations, one was more personable and friendly and helpful. Of course I’m going with the non-dickheads. I’m not benny, you know 😉 ---

get a hold of turbotekray on here if you don’t feel comfortable with morgan tuning your car. he’s good aswell. in all honesty morgan is more than capable of tuning the car. load the tephra rom, add the options you want and take it from there. its all the interface which is a bit confusing but give him some time and he’ll get it perfect. he did a great job on my car with what i brought to him and i was the first stock ecu evo, even though my car was a bit handicapped and i didn’t know till after ☹ 372whp netted 117mph fwiw ---

Also Synapse tapped into the Honda community, which pretty much has the biggest tuning scene. This whole thing is stupid anyways. You guys give him shit for not getting his car tuned. Then when he finally does(and picks a reputable place) its still not good enough and he should wait LONGER(even though everyday he goes without a tune it somehow makes all your blood pressure go up enough that you have to check on this thread and type more nonsense so you all feel better) and go to synapse. ---

I haven’t heard anything bad about Moon, just was honestly wondering the reason you chose them over Synapse. You told me that the waiting was a major part so that makes sense to me. Sure they’ll do a great job, I passed there a couple weeks ago and they looked like they had quite a few cars in the lot (scoobs). ---

As long as youre going open source and with a well known shop nobody should be complaining. More people are going to support Morgan because he is local and damn good at what he does but its not like Moon is half a day away by any means either. Very interested to see your graphs. ---
