Tampa's best street tuner: 3gsucks

Tampa has a new, talented street tuner working under the name 3gSucks. He has been tuning Subaru's since 2006, focusing on the WRX models but can tune any Subaru model made after 2002. Several ECU maps have been distributed through out the internet, accumulating to over 200 downloads and around twelve street tunes completed. Several happy customers of 3gSucks rave about his tunes, amazing psi out of stock and aftermarket turbo's, methanol tuning, and more.

Subaru ECU street tuning is a valuable skill that 3gsucks has perfected. What is your driving style? 3gsucks can tune for it! Whether off road, street, drag, or track 3gsucks has specific tunes that he can setup for your car. Using an open source tuning style, he monitors several factors and logs data in real time during the tune.

During the tune, 3gsucks monitors all data while logging it into his laptop. He then makes adjustments, logs data again. After about three or four cycles of adjustment and logging, your car is tuned. It's that simple for you, but watching the computer and the data he works with is amazing. Air fuel ratio, spark advance, and timing is how power is generated. Carefully adjusting to prevent knock, 3gsucks understands how to safely tune your subaru for maximum "safe" power. Several customers and tunes prove that he is a knowledgable, trustworthy tuner.

Take for example a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX with modified exhaust, intake, but stock TD-04 turbo was tuned with no knock at 19.5 psi generating 225 hp/ 250 tq. Another impreza with a 2.5 liter tuned to run methanol with modified exhaust generated over 340hp. Several other tunes have been made with similar results, no knock, and still running safely on the road. This is what makes 3gsucks Tampa's best street tuner.

Ready to get tuned? You'll need to make sure you car is in top order to get the best out your time. Minor things like faulty sensors, loose wires, fouled plugs, and other should be avoided to maximize your use of the tune.

    Hey Robert,

    There is lots you can do to increase performance, check out my blog at subaru-offroad.blogspot.com there is tons of data about squeezing out the last bit of power. Basically, you want to push as much COLD air through your engine as possible, in the smoothest manner. This includes port and polish tactics, intercooler spray, thermal heat soak prevention, and removal of intake obstructions. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or post up here.
