On Point Dyno - looking for reviews/comments

Will most likely get the car dyno tuned there later this summer, was wondering if anyone did the same and what their experience was. Alternatively, would you choose an expert 86 tuner like James and get an e-tune or go to On Point and get a dyno tune from someone who isn't necessarily an expert in our cars? Is there a difference

Absolutely, yes !
A member of BRZWORLD had an off the shelf N/A OFT tune then booked Tony the tiger (waited a long time) who greatly improved it. Tony did it to learn the OFT.

I use Sasha at On Point, as he has known experience with aspirated twins. Other aspirated BRZWORLD cars also used On Point.

If your car is stock, not worth it. Exhaust mods can be fully exploited with a tune, but not worth it for minor mods,

Thanks for the feedback!

I wanted to get a tune anyway even though I only have a catback/filter/inlet tube cause I heard the factory tune runs sort of rich and I heard our gas is garbage so I wanted to optimize things. If I pick up a couple of horsies - that's great, but really I just wanna streamline the thing and make it more efficient.

Sasha definitely knows what he's doing, so does James. Can't go wrong with either.

How has his after-tune support been? Did he send you on your way with a backup of your tune? Dyno plot?
