I don't have any personal experience with them, but I haven't seen/heard anything negative about them. They have a good reputation on that forum for tuning hondas/acuras/nissans/subarus as well as for custom fabrication.

I bet Terry loves flying under the radar. Makes me wonder how involved they are with the community i.e. do they really know this DME. Not handing my baby over :]

Good find though.

Oh and btw, if nothing else is going down. Let's roll up to one of their meets. Good chance to meet some new people eh?

I posted this on 1 addicts. Secret Services is probably the best race shop in houston right now. The product they will be tuning you with is the CPE Standback II, which is the same tune AMS has now selected for tuning their turbo kits.

So the CP-E is a piggy back that installs similar to JB3 by plugging into the ecu box? They're offering to install and then create a custom tuned map for you for just the cost of the box?

MuffNBluff, Thats exactly correct. The CPE Standback II allows for completely custom dyno tuning of a car. The tuning is being offered for free for the first customer only.

That's damn tempting...if I can resist this I think I'll be able to graduate from the 10 step mod addiction recovery process.
