Mellon Tuning Experience
Hello All!
I'm new to posting in the forums, mainly a lurker absorbing information.
I have an MR IX with the following mods (thanks "Evo Modding For Dummies!!): Kelford 272 Cams, GSC Beehive Springs, Perrin complete air intake, BR TBE w/ magnaflow and HFC, ETS LICP, Forge UNOS MBC, BR shifter bushings, AP anti-sway bar and Swift Spec-R springs.
Through the advice of a nearby friend (chemwarrior), I made contact with Chris at Mellon Tuning and we drove there from Clarksville, TN on Monday (14 Sep.) I have to say I was completely blown away by Chris's professionalism and the service he provided. As a noob, it was really cool to receive tips and pointers face to face with a pro; Chris is very open and responsive to even basic questions.
Well, to the tune:
I can't believe how much the tune unlocked from my car!!! I am completely hooked!
Thanks a lot to Mellon Tuning for the awesome service and great experience

wow, yeah, Chris is awesome. That graph makes me want cams bad!
First I have to fix a pesky boost leak that's robbing my power.
