The company is called Factor X tuning. They focus on optimizing performance in high end Jap imports from the pro to the enthusiast. They built the nations fastest lexus(1400hp), tuned the worlds fastest honda, battle of the imports all motor champion. 1st place in SI challenge.

That's what they told me. a 1400hp Lexus!! :eek:

Factor X's head tuner was the brainchild behind the SC at Area51. The guy is one of the very few Pectel specialist in the nation. Put it this way, he's not a chump in regards to tuning. He left the firm because of issues with the management. I would trust my car to him. I thought his shop was going to open up somewhere in Huntington Beach. Well let me know.
