anyone have there rx8 cobb tuned at speed1 formally kdr in pa. your thoughts and overall experience thanks john.

 

MazdaManiac flew out to speed1 a few years back and tuned a bunch of rx8s at Speed1. I had asked Speed1 at the time to tune my car and they said that they did not have the pro tuner software to do it but Jeff (MM) did. Are they able to tune now?

 

yes they are able to tune. spoke with dave and he was tunning one at that time i had called. i gone to them in the past and know they are one of the best on the east coast, but was curious if any one had theres recently tuned.

 

I know Omar(NYCdriftking on the forums) has went there recently to get his Petit Sc rx8 dyno tuned on Cobb there recently. I believe before summer he told me.

But I haven't heard from him recently so I can't say really. But I've personally spoke with Dave on a few times related to other issues and he's always on top of his stuff. Really good guy and always helpful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Speed1 to anyone. Service is always top notch.

 

This is complete BS

 

That they can tune or that they are a good shop? I've also been looking into having them potentially rebuild and turbo my 8. Would appreciate any insight on their quality

 

They can do a rebuild but don't be surprised when they charge you more than the estimate.

As for tuning they have neither ATR or MEP.

 

Omar(NYCdriftking) had his supercharged 8 tuned from them couple months ago and 2 of my boys had there rhd fcs tuned there a couple weeks ago, all were more than happy with dave.

 

Dave's not the problem. And FCs / FDs always have good things to say about Speed1.

Again, they have no way to OEM tune RX8s unless you you bring in your personal version of ATR or MEP... And even then be prepared for problems.

Something else to note, Dave won't be around forever and has almost zero control over operations at this point.

If you do run into issues be prepared to have to deal with Medusa.

 

That's dark...

and that's hilarious

 

shell speaks from a lot of experience. another friend of ours took his s/c 8 there to get a few small issues fixed. i ended up fixing his car at my house for free because they didnt but they did have his car for a few weeks and charged him $300 to polish his intercooer/intake pipes lol
