What are some top performing imports that have come out of this shop? #s and running status, please. I don't care who's car it is.

I took my hatch there after getting tuned by Adrenaline.

ADRENALINE took my car from 157 and 112 ft/lbs N/A to 175 and 157 ft/lbs on 9 psi.

I took the EXACT same setup to Lowe 3 days later with a Apex'i Power FC, a system they have never used and John had no problem calling Apex'i, talking to them, and learning the software within those 3 days.

John returned my car to me at 208 whp and 175 ft/lbs.

After more work, we progressed to 235whp and 178 ft/lbs. and then once more after that, he took the hatch to 253 whp and 215 ft/lbs and he had to stop doing the pull at 5,000 rpms... this was before VTEC engagement.

I do not have this setup anymore, but when I HOPEFULLY drop off the hatch there in the next 2 or 3 weeks, I'm sure I'll be impressed again with what the new motor will put down. And to clarify, this new motor will be N/A

I'm sure JesSi and ModTheSol and several more will chime in on this thread.

took my hatch up there and was nothing but amazed at the numbers he pulled out of my stock motor and it is still running strong to this day. lowe is the place to take it too no doubt about it in my mind or any of my friends. i will be going back as soon as i get some more goodies.

If not #s, then % gains from baseline, please (untuned to tuned).

he never said all of the pulls were at 9psi. he was stating that there was a difference in power at 9psi between adrenaline and lowe (the 3 days john spent correcting chucks mistakes).

after that when he was around the 235-250 range i dont think he was at 9psi and he also had a different motor setup at the time as well.
