I know a chip tuner in Portland (Dewey).

Wish I lived closer to him or knew someone who had the skills he has. Travis, have you mastered the tune?

The tiny town of Grants Pass. However, somehow we're known enough to be on a sign going south from portland. It's quite amusing. I'm in spokane now...so a bit farther noth and east.

TraviZ: what am I? chopped liver? :P I'm from the north too! I just don't check in this forum much...too many people in my home state (I was born in California and lived a while in the Bay Area ^_^)

Chip/PROM burning. Customizing your computer's chip is the best way to get 15-20% better improvement out of your engine, especially if you have engine mods.

Guessing you knew that already?
