In all seriousness, if you come to HB Speed you will be treated like family.
And your car will be better than ever.

thats good to hear. I've been hearing about you guys since I got back from the sand box and will probably be coming down for a tune in about a month if not sooner. I'm going to try and stop by sometime in the next week or so just to meet you guys face to face. I only live down the street in Garden Grove.

How late are you guys usually there?

we are open 10-7 Mon-Sat
how late we are HERE depends on if we had a full day or working on the MULTIPLE time attack winning miata or supra, Prepping one of the 2 08 sti project cars, the Twin turbo Z, or any of the numerous other things we have going on every day.

Needless to say we rarely leave before 10 pm

I've dealt with HB speed and HM on different occasions over the past few years and all I can say is that we're lucky in SoCal to have both of these knowledgeable shops that take care of their customers. They are both great shops!

I stopped by today...A friendly meet and greet I suppose. Nice guys, Happy to take time out from their busy schedule and talk to me for a little while about my car and their cars. We discussed tuning, turbos, intercoolers. I was very pleased and they have my utmost confidence.

Things to buy:

ATP stock mounted GT3076
Deutschwerks 750cc injectors
Phenolic Spacers
some MBC
Intercooler piping for my Perrin FMIC
TGV Deletes(I'll have them ported)
Perrin 3" inlet.

Tune in about a month

-Ryan

1900+ cars. Blown up from a tuning issue, none that we know of. There are always failures of components in cars and tuning. Head gaskets blow because they have been leaking, Rod bearings fail from abuse/ bad quality oil, cars overboost because the owners set up the Boost controllers wrong, etc etc.

Jon does not tune aggressively simply due to the fact that the 07 and 08 are so fragile. He has been tuning accessports since the tuning software was VERY beta (late 2003), and reflash tuning for just as long. Jon tunes many types of cars and is not limited to subaru. Nissan, Infiniti, Toyota, Mazda, Mitsubishi and more.

Our shop cars are 06 wrx, 08 sti, 08 EVO X, 03 twin turbo 350z, 98 Single turbo supra, 95 Time attack carbonfiber bodied miata, plus a few other misc vehicles
