The promotions are only available to customers who schedule appointments during the dates of 12/1/10 & 1/31/11. Based on similar previous promotions, we suggest calling or setting up your appointment via email as soon as possible to ensure you get the day you want and don’t miss out on these great promotions!

Get Tuned Before The Outlaw Race In October!
Aug 17th
Before I get started with the post explaining why you should book your appointment for tuning early I’ll summarize it. If you plan to have your car tuned before October’s Outlaw Race you should absolutely have it booked as far in advance as you possibly can to make sure we still have slots available! Now, here is why I say that…
Usually at the beginning of race season, we make a post informing everyone that our schedule is starting to fill quickly. We do this every year to help everyone become more aware of the availability and have even started posting updates to Facebook and Twitter throughout the year of when we are booking. One of our largest complaints from customers has been our 2-3 month wait times. After streamlining the systems we tune, and adding eTuning to our repertoire of tuning services, we have successfully kept that wait time under 2 months in 2010.
However, one of the most anticipated races of 2010 will be October’s Outlaw Race taking place at Englishtown’s Old Bridge Raceway Park on the 9th and 10th. As with any race, we expect our calendar to fill up fast with appointments in the few weeks leading up to the weekend. We try to fit as many tunes as possible into the schedule to accommodate the influx of appointments and work overtime sometimes scheduling up to 3 tunes in a single day. Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough hours in the day to fit everyone, and we end up having to turn some folks away in the weeks leading up to a big race.
The closer it gets to race day, the more magnified the problem becomes. We fill in appointments just about every day for daily drivers and road course cars that are not coming in to be tuned for an event like the Outlaw Race. Just two weeks ago we had a lot of calls from customers who wanted to be tuned before Honda Day. Unfortunately, we rarely have any appointments a week ahead of time and were already booking almost a month beyond Honda Day. On more than one occasion we’ve seen the appointments in the final week before a race be predominately for daily drivers, and cars that will not be and have no intention of heading to the track. Most of these cars are in no serious rush to have their setups tuned, however the owners have made plans to get to the cars down to us on those days and can not afford to change them.
Most of this issue can be avoided by booking your appointments early! If you know that you will be running at the Outlaw Race in October, give us a call as soon as possible or schedule your appointment online and make sure that we can get your car in and ready for the track. We look forward to the race and we hope to see everyone there!
eTuning Section Added To Our Site
Jun 16th
Since we have started eTuning it has become very popular with a lot of our FlashPro and KPro customers. We’ve taken the time to add a new eTuning section to our web site under the current Tuning section (which now is broken down into sections for both Dyno Tuning and eTuning).
We’re excited to have this new section added to our site, and we hope it answers many of the questions we have received so far. The eTuning section will also stay updated as we add more cars that are able to be eTuned. Here are a list of the new pages:
Sick Evo 8 Makes 725whp On Race Gas
May 3rd
If haven’t seen our previous post on this Evo 8 you need to check it out here. Since our last update on this car we have tuned numerous AWD setups, but we promised updated numbers on this Evo so needless to say we have some really impressive graphs.
We plan to do some track tuning with this Evo in the coming weeks and will make updates on what it runs. We will also try to get some pictures and videos of it running at the track.
This setup is exactly the same as the last time we tuned except for the addition of Q16 race gas. Here are the updated graphs:
Why Get an eTune from Evans Tuning?
Apr 16th
It has come to our attention that numerous other sites are offering eTuning services. Evans Tuning is certainly not the first provider of these services but we feel we have a significant advantage compared to other providers. Here is why you should eTune with Evans Tuning.
- We offer UNLIMITED ADJUSTMENTS to your eTune. Other providers limit the amount of revisions they will do.
- We provide ONE LEVEL of unmatched eTuning! No basic tunes here. We give it our all, all of the time.
- We have a VERY LARGE DATABASE of perfected dyno tunes. Most eTuners state that they have little to no dyno tuning experience. We tune all day every day.
- We provide UNMATCHED CUSTOMER SERVICE via email. Most revisions are provided within a few hours and normally no more than 1 business day.
- We have the option for customers to UPGRADE TO A DYNO TUNE for the price of a retune. We stand behind our work and know it’s worthy of our discounted rates.
- We have over 10 YEARS of tuning experience. Tuning is the most important step of any build and we take each tune very seriously.
We are all for the shift to internet based business, tuning, and customer service, but can you afford to trust your tune to just any internet company?
24-Hour Tuning in Phoenix, AZ!
Mar 12th
I’m frequently asked to travel to tune cars. There are other tuners that can easily pick up and travel to tune cars, but when you have a big shop (I mean square footage – it get’s expensive) with cars to constantly wrench on and tune, traveling is just out of the question! Geoff from Full-Race Motorsports has been asking me to make the trip to Phoenix, AZ for a while to retune his Nissan R14 (http://www.full-race.com/r14/) with the new fuel, turbo, and v-mount intercooler setup.
As a personal favor to Geoff, I decided to bite the bullet and fly out there for a day. To justify leaving the shop for a trip to AZ, Geoff arranged for some local cars to be tuned as well. Besides Geoff’s R14, I had three 06+ Honda Civic Si’s to tune. Two of the Si’s were equipped with the new Full Race Stage 2 GT Kits (GT3076R), and the other Si had a CT Engineering Stage 2 Supercharger Kit. My flight plans gave me a solid 24 hours in Phoenix to get everything done, which I didnt think would turn into a tuning marathon… I was wrong!
Appointments for Spring 2010 are Filling Fast!
Mar 4th
Every year the timing is slightly different but when it happens, it happens incredibly fast. Tuning appointments are starting to go quickly with no signs of slowing. Currently we are only booked a bit over 2 weeks out (which really isn’t too bad considering previous years). However, we have booked 11 of these appointments in just 2 days. The phone has been ringing non-stop and I have just gotten a moment to sit and quickly update everyone on our current status.
If you are planning to book an appointment in March, I would guess that there is only about a week or so left to get one. More >

Evans Tuning’s Winter Tuning Discounts are back!
Oct 19th
The holiday season is starting early this year at Evans Tuning. Last year we ran the first ever special on our tuning rates and it was a huge hit! This year we decided to bring them back early and include retunes. Tuning appointments scheduled between 11/01/09 and 12/31/09 are eligible for up to $200 off the total cost. Here is the breakdown:
New Appointments:
Supercharged / Turbocharged Cars – $100 off of tuning rate
All Motor Cars – $200 off of tuning rate
Retunes:
All retunes regardless of setup: $125/hour
No other tuning discounts can be combined with this promotion. Example: If you receive $100 off of tuning for purchasing your EMS through Evans Tuning you will not receive any additional discounts unless the car has an All Motor setup and is a new tune.
Hondata FlashPro for 06′-09′ Honda S2000!
Oct 13th
Click here to pre-order online!
If you are the owner of a 06+ Honda s2000 you now have a cheaper and simpler tuning option for your car! Previously your only tuning option was using Hondata’s dual K-Pro ECU system. While this system certainly filled the void for 06+ s2000 owners to be able to tune their cars, it was a bit complex and expensive. With the recent release of FlashPro you can now directly flash the factory ecu! Hondata has just made their announcement that the FlashPro system for the 06+ s2000′s will be available November 9th, 2009. Evans Tuning is extremely excited to help spread the word and finally offer a cheaper tuning solution for these cars! Here are some of the exciting features for the new FlashPro:
FlashPro features
- Programmable ECU interface.
- Connects via OBDII diagnostic port.
- USB 2.0 connection
- Works with Laptop or Desktop
- No ECU modification necessary.
- 90 second ECU programming time.
- 20 hours on board datalogging memory.
- FlashProManager Windows software.
- Check and clear diagnostic codes.
- Customizable laptop gauges.
- Readiness codes and smog check status.
- Dual calibration storage – upload from one of two calibrations stored in the FlashPro
