Inline Pro is known for making good power, but i have not heard too much in terms of reliability. I was going to take my car there to get tuned, but decided to have a friend tune for me/teach me how to tune with S300.

Dont be scared to tow your car somewhere to get it tuned either. My first setup was tuned by Shad when he was at Abacus, but i think he is at Accuracy now. Both shops are in Va Beach.

Even though i have no experience with Inline Pro, they do have a good reputation that I know of. So i would probably take it to them if I were you.

Just drive a hour and 10 minutes south on 95, and hit up Matt Shue. He has a review in the vendor forum, just search.

He by far has the best prices, and is the most capable honda tuner around central.

Im going to let him work some magic on my rsx soon I cant wait.

I thought you were talking about a b20 swap? Why would it matter what else he tunes, when you want a honda tuned, and he tunes them. Fairly well at that.

I had a B20 turbo and a B20 vtec turbo both of which held up fine for about a year but I got into it alot and it saw around 15-16 psi on stock internals, stock sleeves. This was also on a t3/t4 57/63 and put out 350whp and 250trq on 13psi.
