I have been dealing with Trent for many years. He has tuned all sorts of cars from Honda, Nissan, Toyota for me and I have never had an issue with him or his work.

I was not trying to start an arguement. Best tuner is determined by the individual. I was only offering my advice

Craig from revzone knows his shit.
DC5R with Injen CAI, Toda headers, Greddy TI-C 60mm and K-Pro make 152kw atw. That to me is very good numbers.

Wrong mate, he's asking for a good/best tuner not specific to Honda. stndrd is just trying to help and the chances are you probably don't know MELB's BEST HONDA TUNER either but are just offering your best opinion and advice as well.

Who does that? Most tuners I know, have met or heard of don't simply don't stick to one or the other. There's very little market for single-dealership performance tuning especially the Hondas since most are young non-turbo tight-ass low-balling students with BS aspirations.

He recommends Craig I believe, who I've spoken to when he was back in RevZone and appeared to be a very decent/reasonable guy. Has been recommended to me by other people too, so probably a very safe bet. And apparently very good at FI tuning too.

well, since he is asking for melb's best honda tuner, u would assume u can direct him to someone who deals with mainly honda's or does alot of honda workk
hahahahah

my boosted ITR - 7psi 240kw daily driven for 18months, then it got stolen
my bro boosted k20 silvia - 8psi 253kw street driven but mainly drift events, still going strong, never missed a beat
miguels boosted s2k - 12psi 256kw weekend worrior, never missed a beat, drives perfect over 18months now

There's very little market for single-dealership performance tuning especially the Hondas since most are young non-turbo tight-ass low-balling students with BS aspirations.Maybe 'exclusively' was too strong. But while they may not turn down other jobs, there are mechanics who specialise in a certain marque. They may have expertise on Subaru AWD systems, or extensive knowledge of SR/RB engines. If I were tuning a Honda, I'd want it taken to somebody who had a lot of experience with Hondas, and solid expectations of what performance can be achieved, rather than a more vague idea of what to expect.
Maybe I'm expecting too much from garages these days.

I was really trying to not buy any further into this but now I will. Maybe you were unaware that Trent is an ex Honda technician and all he does is dyno tuning. Yes he may do mostly Nissan and Toyota's these days, but he still knows his Honda stuff extremely well.
It is very easy for enthusiasts to critisize a mechanic or tuner because they dont like something, but when they are good, no one ever listens. I could start on all the horror stories I have heard come out of Revzone, but I am not one to slag out others that I share a trade with. As I said, each individual determins who or what is best, so what was the point of the whole arguement that lead up to this?
