I'm trying to find a professional engine tuner in the Northeast area that specializes in SBCs and/or Eddy carbs. I've been having a hell of a time finding ANYTHING. I'm located on Cape Cod in Massachusetts, so anywhere near there is suitable. I'll appreciate ANY leads to possible shops. I'm really also looking for the type of guy I can trust, I can't hand my keys over to Joeschmoe. Thanks for any information, guys, its really appreciated!!

Domestic car will always be able to have a higher HP. Look at NHRA dragsters running at 10,000HP.

And yes i am a car lover. So 300-800hp is nothing. I would think
ricers can get some more HP when they try to impress everyone
how great and reliable jap motors are.

300hp was something we had in the 60s with musclecars and it even sounded good.
300hp out of the fiero drag car with the superduty four cylinder with no turbo or a supercharger. 300hp ricer with a turbo and it sounds like a motorcycle. I should be amazed. NOT!

I can get 1000hp out of a volkswagen beetle(original) engine, been done before. And now you want me to be impressed of a honda civic with 300hp. pst.

And theres no work, blood, or sweat into rebuilding an engine.
It is all on how much you want to spend for forged parts and machine
work. And rebuilding an engine is easy, doesn't take too much to do one.

Same goes as most ricers just sticking a turbo on there. Easy HP gain.

Just like i said above. Mexicans put more effort into their cars then what Jap car owners do. What they do to their car involves the real sweat,blood work, time money etc....

Typical ricer cars at the car shows. Cost of car, 100,000 with customization. Body kit, sound system,kn filter, turbo and play station. what a waste of money. And it is still a honda civic.

Well, for some closure, I have found a great shop in my area. Thanks Boomtastic.

And to add to what this thread has turned into..

I'm not really a fan of the import crowd, but I do respect people doing REAL engine work. Therefore, a 1000hp Supra is very far from a 'ricer'. That would be labeled a 'very fast and powerful car'. Ricer would be the guy I pass in an 89 Civic rustbucket (or non-rust SOMEtimes) with big aluminum wing, fartcan, and underglow.

A domestic or import car can be made to drive fast.

People who's mentality is "all show and no go" are ricers, plain and simple, no matter what they drive.

ricer+300hp=still a ricer. DUH.

increase the horsepower of a honda civic. Its still a piece of **** ricer civic.

1000hp supra, not impressive at all. Domestics cars have been running high numbers for a long time. And most 99% of the ricers are forced air or nawz. Just like your rice car. pst. 360whp its still a lame "sport compact car" Id rather buy a custom low rider car that mexicans build up that have huge amount of detail done to it. Rice cars just make real car euthusiasts look bad, just like the movie Torque will for the motorcycle community.

Just like mach10 thinking ricers are better because they use "new technology" because it has a timing belt. Timing belts have been used for decades.

BTW, i didn't say what the definition of "tuning" is for a ricer.
