Being in this industry for 14 years personally and I have worked with many top engine tuners and car builders alike. Mark has a very broad knowledge of Japanese performance vehicles in particular but also specialises in the engine tuning side.
If you were to listen to Mark he would tell you that he hates cars, but I believe the reason he is so good at what he does is because of his underlying passion he has for his work.
In our field of building drift cars we need 100% reliability because if anything is going to win us a championship, it is that. BUT we also need maximum response with sizable power figures too! So you can imagine Mark’s face each time we roll another car from the DCorp stables through his workshop doors… and each time he completes a tune it never disappoints, only surprises and surpasses our usual expectations.
With these engines constantly beating off the rev limiters to over-heating conditions, they soldier on with very minimal engine failures ever occurring under these brutal conditions.
Never underestimate the importance of a good tune, it will make use of all the thousands of dollars spent on bolt-on parts purchased for your engine. Without this tune you might as well be driving a Lada because you will never see the true potential out of your package and 9 times out of 10, your engine will expire prematurely in a cloud of detonation dust and smoke!
Mark is a Gen X tuner for Gen X car enthusiasts. Take your ride to someone who can at least relate to what you want from your ride!
