Perfect for our setup
My brother and I built this car for track weekends, but still street legal too. We’re both very busy with jobs and kids, and we just wanted something that made the car a lot more fun while still having a chance at longevity. We told Shane this, and he made the entire process really easy and we are now set up with a tune that we feel like is in that sweet spot we were going for. It’s rare to tell someone what you want

We told Shane this, and he made the entire process really easy and we are now set up with a tune that we feel like is in that sweet spot we were going for. It’s rare to tell someone what you want and have them set you up that way without trying to talk you into anything else. We were able to get that and now our car is exactly where we want it to be, you can’t do any better than that!
Knowing how easy this process is now opens up a whole new group of cars that we may not have considered previously.

Extremely Informative and Positive Experience
Shane did an incredible job with my car, i originally bought the MS2 PNP kit for my mustang thinking “How hard could it be”…I was quickly humbled and realized i might be in too deep! I searched around for awhile looking for a remote MegaSquirt tuner and stumbled upon AimTuning and boy am i glad i did, Shane worked around everything from my lack of motivation for the car to some issues i completely missed and im extremely grateful. I owe it to Shane/Aim Tuning

I owe it to Shane/Aim Tuning for making me love my car again, it runs great with no compromises! I fully intend to come back for some help whenever i finally get around to doing some real deal engine mods but maybe I wont have too and for good reason! In every revision email Shane sent over there were details of what was changing and what those changes would do, i promise if your willing to learn you’ll come out of this with a car that runs great (assuming nothing mechanically is wrong) and a better understanding of how to tune!

Shane took on an unusual project (e30 turbo) and absolutely crushed it from start to finish. From answering text messages early on a Sunday morning to in depth explanations of each revision change, I can’t say enough about the AIM process. Since we finished tuning, I’ve kept in touch and continue to receive guidance from Shane.

The best process I’ve ever had having a car tuned
I was a little hesitant at first when starting out, but Shane took over the computer (via the internet) and got everything dialed in to get my car started safely and running well right off the bat. From there, coming off throttle and idle characteristics were squared away and then it was up to me to do some datalogging. Sending the logs back and forth was easy, and revisions came in quickly to keep the process moving right along. It wasn’t without issue though. Shane

Sending the logs back and forth was easy, and revisions came in quickly to keep the process moving right along.
It wasn’t without issue though. Shane was able to identify some shortcomings with the car that prevented me pushing harder and I had a track day paid for and coming up quick! Shane knew what to do, what I needed, and even helped me source the correct ignition system for my needs, quickly. ON A HOLIDAY WEEKEND! The car runs better than ever before, has more power, out performs similar set-ups, and I wouldn’t hesitate to drive the car anywhere. If you’re looking for the tune to be done once, correctly, and by someone who cares about you and your car the same way you do, look nowhere else. I am so grateful for the over the top help and expertise that Shane and AIM Tuning has provided. They have a customer for life.

I’d like to take this opportunity to give a huge shout out to Shane Benson of AIM Tuning for his tuning expertise, unwavering tenacity, diligence, patience, exemplary communication and his above-and-beyond attention to detail in setting up my family’s Exocet tune. His commitment to getting the job, and dome right, is second to none.
A quick back story; a few years ago, I purchased a very cosmetically-challenged 1999 anniversary Miata so I could teach my kids how to drive a stick. Once my children embraced the mechanics of driving a standard, and muscle memory became second nature, we decided to turn the Miata into something fun. Thus, the Exocet build was born. As one modification begat another, we decided to jump off the deep end and do our on EFI right down to building the harness. Although I had done EFI before, doing a stand-alone setup was quite the learning curve. With the basic setup complete and the car able to start and run, I reached out on a local forum for help with tuning. This is where Shane Benson answered the call. I’ll have to say, when Shane and I began this journey, I did not expect the level of attention to detail and commitment to the task that he put forth during this tune. With the Miata being so popular, I figured I would get something close to a canned tune and that would be that. I could never have been more wrong. First off, Shane sent us a very detailed spec sheet to fill out. Once this was done, Shane logged in remotely on my laptop and started working his magic with the tune. During the process, we hit a couple of snags here and there and worked through these with ease. Due to my work schedule as a pilot, completing the tune took several weeks. Shane commitment never wavered, his patience never ran lean. In fact, even though I know Shane was busy with other clients and family, he would treat me as though I were his most important customer.
Over the course of our working together on this project, Shane and I set up communication via email where I would do runs, log data and then send the data file to him to revise and send back to me. During the tuning process, I was fortunate enough to have Shane’s travels route him through my neck of the woods. Shane stopped by and he and I were able to take the car out for some hands-on tuning. Lots of fun and smiles as we were able to experience all the hard work, determination and dedication come into fruition.
If you’re looking for a tuner who will dedicate the time and commitment to needed to ‘do it right’, the I highly recommend Shane for the job.

This was my second time building the engine for my Miata and I wanted to get a better tuner this time. I found AIM online and sent Shane an email. Since I had already blown the engine once before; I was a bit nervous. Shane relieved my nervousness quickly. It was obvious he knows exactly what he’s doing. He explained everything clearly along the way, and made sure I was happy. Although we hit some problems along the way; none were a match for Shane!

AIM Tuning/Shane is a tuning WIZARD.
I came to Shane with a horribly undrivable freshly turbo’d car. My other tuner loaded the wrong base map, my tables were terribly optimized, and the car was borderline undrivable on the street. Just terrible. I expressed my disappointment with some folks on MiataTurbo.net, and received a message from Shane saying he could get my car sorted out. And boy did he.

One of the best things about getting your car tuned by AIM is Shane’s excellent ability to explain and teach you what he’s doing as you go. We started off getting the car sorted out to be able to drive on the street, and made gradual iterations to get drivability, boost control, and power to where I wanted it. Throughout the whole process, with each revision, Shane asks how the car feels & explains what he adjusted. With this, I now feel pretty comfortable going into TunerStudio and playing around with my settings as I see fit. But if I ever have any questions, I know I can shoot him an email and he’ll be right back with me.
My car truly drives like factory until you press the loud pedal. The drivability on street is DIVINE. But when you put your foot down, the car MOVES. The linearity of boost and power is stellar. My dyno guy even commented on how linear the car feels. Shane was able to get my car running great again, got me to where I wanted to be power wise, and set up extras like closed loop boost control, all while being prompt and uber friendly.
If you’re looking for a tuner who will get your car sorted, all while providing a fun and educational experience, look no further. When I get my engine built, I’ll be coming right back to AIM to get my car turned up to 11. Thanks as always!!

I now have a much better understanding of the software and how everything works. Shane was very responsive and instructive throughout the whole process and was able to correct any hiccups or drive ability issues very quickly and in just a few revisions. My car now starts up and drives just like the car would on a stock ecu, except making much more power. A lot of tuners can tune for power, but not many can tune for oem-like drivability. I would definitely use AIM Tuning again for any future projects or if I make any changes to the car such as forced induction.

After purchasing my 2004 Mazdaspeed MX-5 a little over a year and a half ago, it didn’t take long to realize that the factory left a lot of performance on the table. After doing some simple bolt-on parts, I was ready to take advantage of the benefits of a stand-alone ecu, some supporting mods like injectors, and a tune. After doing extensive research, it was pretty easy to see I needed Shane from AIM Tuning to install and tune. From initial conversations, it was clear

From initial conversations, it was clear that Shane knew exactly what this MSM could be. His recommendations, install, and constant communication made the whole process incredibly smooth. At time of delivery, Shane took the time to walk me through everything and has been readily available afterwards to answer questions and offer advice.
The car drives like a different car. Power delivery comes on earlier and is very smooth all the way up to redline. This is the way the car should have come from the factory. I can’t recommend AIM Tuning highly enough.

The top end power is probably about the same as what I had before from a WOT tune, but the rest of the RPM range is much more useable now, cold & warm starts are perfect, AC idle up behavior is better, and driving the car is that much more satisfying as a result. Highly recommended!

At first, I was a little concerned getting my car tuned remotely but once I started working with Shane I knew it was the right decision. AIM got my car running awesome and he made the process educational and fun. I would recommend them to anyone.

This is the first time I have built or owned a modified car, after a few fun OEM cars. At first, I was a bit apprehensive about the entire idea of a ‘remote tune’ – I didnt like the idea of not being able to look the person in the eyes. That concern was completely gone within the first couple hours of work with Shane as he was tweaking the idle and timing. Shane took me through the entire process, teaching me bits as we

This is the first time I have built or owned a modified car, after a few fun OEM cars. At first, I was a bit apprehensive about the entire idea of a ‘remote tune’ – I didnt like the idea of not being able to look the person in the eyes. That concern was completely gone within the first couple hours of work with Shane as he was tweaking the idle and timing. Shane took me through the entire process, teaching me bits as we went. I never felt like I was on an island during the process, and Shane was always quick to respond – and the responses werent just yes/no. They were in depth explainations of WHY we were doing what we were doing. He took the time to get even the little things right, and always had great customer service.
Now about the car. The car is basically OEM turned up to 11. Idle is smooth, low, predictable. Throttle response is nearly as good as it has ever been, MUCH better than before I got a MS3 and was using the tuning cards (only M45, no intercooler or pulley before). Not that its the top of my list, but I get BETTER gas milage than I did before the tune. And of course a very notible amout more power. The increase in power was most evident in the high RPMs. 5000-7000 felt a bit flat before. Now the car pulls harder all the way to redline. Being able to see and feel the changes as we went through multiple revisions was also a good education and very interesting as well, and legit fun as I was able to see the improvements happening in real time.
I will most certainly be a repeat customer if I ever have the need again!

A whole new experience that should have been there from the factory.
I decided to upgrade my 2002 Miata LS with a Supercharger Kit to get more power out of my stock engine safely. After doing quite a bit of research on who I would choose to tune my car, I decided on remote tune from AIM Tuning. After my initial meeting with Shane and reviewing his Smooth Setup Guide to assure everything I needed to start tuning was ready to go, knew I made the right decision.

After my initial meeting with Shane and reviewing his Smooth Setup Guide to assure everything I needed to start tuning was ready to go, knew I made the right decision. Very easy to work with and has top notch knowledge and expertise to assure your specific tune is done right. Also, quick to respond to any questions in areas to help improve your knowledge and learn the process. I highly recommend Shane and the AIM Tuning team.

The Miata is running great
I’ve been looking to tune my 99 Miata for a while due to it running rough. I came across AIM, and am very happy I chose them. Shane has been very helpful with the process of getting me up and running before and after installing the MS3 Pro.

It feels really responsive and quick
I had a great experience working with Shane and getting my NA MP62 running the way it should. When we first started, the car struggled with cold starts and had driveability issues. Right from the get go, Shane was able to sort out the cold starts and get the car running and driving smoothly. All of the communication was prompt and informative.

The best experience ever
When I decided to turbo my Miata, I found the task of tuning to be daunting. I have built other cars before this one, but I had never used a standalone ECU before. I researched many tuners before finding Shane and I can tell you it was the most positive experience ever! Not only did he do an excellent job, but he explained what changes were being made and improved my knowledge of the process at the same time. The best part? The car is

I researched many tuners before finding Shane and I can tell you it was the most positive experience ever! Not only did he do an excellent job, but he explained what changes were being made and improved my knowledge of the process at the same time. The best part? The car is a ROCKET, but has an idle and driving mannerisms better than stock.
If you are looking to get your Miata tuned I would HIGHLY recommend AIM without hesitation!

My car is running better than ever
When I decided to start upgrading my 99, I bought a Megasquirt like everyone does. Unfortunately there are no tuning shops or dynos in my area. Not knowing how to tune, I didn’t know what to do. Then I found AIM Tuning. Shane was very informative and makes sure things are done right, definitely a master of his craft. The car is stronger than stock, and I’m even getting better fuel economy.

My car has never run this well!
I recently installed an MS3 PnP in my NB2 Miata. The car drove reasonably well on the base map, but not great, so I started “tuning.” How hard could it be? The more I diddled though, the worse it ran and eventually the car was barely drivable. I was a bit leery of the whole concept of remote tuning at first, but Shane quickly fixed what I botched.

I was a bit leery of the whole concept of remote tuning at first, but Shane quickly fixed what I botched. In just a couple of sessions he had my Miata running great, and we reached a state of naturally aspirated nirvana with my NB. I learned a lot, the procedure on my end was easy, and the tune was worth every penny. When I’m ready to turbocharge, I’ll be contacting AIM without a doubt.

I had a great experience and am glad I chose AIM Tuning
I definitely wanted a Miata specific tuning service when researching where to go. It is a great learning experience to get the “well the car is doing X, so we will do Y to combat that”. Shane was awesome with it the whole time. I will be coming back to AIM in the future. This is the place for your MiataRead more “I had a great experience and am glad I chose AIM Tuning”

I really learned a lot about my car; that alone was worth every bit of the process
I bought the car as-is, and I would probably have never found all the problems without your help; I would have given up and sold it eventually. But now she drives sooo much better than before, and I can enjoy her for a long time. I’m really happy with your expertise and the whole experience. You’ve been very cool and helpful throughout this process. I would recommend you to anyone looking for a tune; you know your stuff.Read more “I really learned a lot about my car; that alone was worth every bit of the process”

Wow, ferocious is a good term!
Shane has done a fantastic job remote tuning my turbo ’97 Miata. It’s clear he is a professional, my car is running flawlessly and is a total blast to drive. It’s really quite amazing. His attitude for perfection is clear in his work, and I am thrilled with how my car has turned out. I was uncertain how well the remote tuning process would work when I began. Having now completed the tune and comparing it to my friend’s car that has been tuned locally,

Having now completed the tune and comparing it to my friend’s car that has been tuned locally, it is apparent that this is the real deal. Shane was a pleasure to work with, and he will certainly be my first choice for any future tuning work. Thanks!

Remote tuning with AIM is great!
Shane is very dedicated; he worked with me to figure out issues with the car and get it running perfectly. I also love how he had me make some adjustments on my own so I could understand what we were tuning. Response time is great, with revisions provided back to back at times. Overall communication is excellent. We got straight to business, but it was also good to get to know him on a personal level. I feel that, at any time, if I have

Holy **** man, it’s a blast to drive!
It’s really amazing to watch how the tune on this car has evolved. The car is running flawlessly under all conditions, hasn’t missed a beat once, couldn’t be happier with it. Great gas mileage too, definitely running efficiently. It’s everything I had hoped it would be under boost. This car is so damn fun now! I let my buddy, the guy I bought it from, take it for a spin and he about flipped! He wanted it back so bad LOL. Fast as hell and

I can’t wait to drive it again!
Shane did an amazing job tuning my car. He was always quick to answer, always explained what he was changing and how it would affect the car. He helped me troubleshoot all the issues I had and now my Miata runs better than ever and it’s faster than ever 🙂 I wouldn’t hesitate to contact him for any retuning in the future and have already recommended him to some MiataRead more “I can’t wait to drive it again!”

Just cruising or driving aggressively, it feels amazing!
I recently finished a build on my 95 Miata but I had no idea how to tune the Megasquirt ECU. A quick search led me to AIM Tuning. For way less money than my local dyno shop was going to charge, they were able to tune my car remotely by analyzing my datalogs and adjusting the tune. AIM was able to fix all my idle and driveability issues, and they were patient and helpful when I had mechanical issues on my end. My car runs

Your efforts have been standard-setting throughout.
At the point I contacted you, I was about ten seconds from shipping the carcass out for a V8 swap, something as expensive as it is pointless in my eyes. From the first email exchange, things started to improve, and there was never a moment when I thought the car would not be sorted. Thank you forRead more “Your efforts have been standard-setting throughout.”
