About Us
RCP Tuning is a Certified EFI University Graduate
RCP Tuning started about 15 years ago the way a lot of good things do: in the garage, trying to make my own cars faster. I’ve always been curious about where the limits really are, and a strong computer and IT background combined with a scientific approach turned that curiosity into a discipline. Growing up in a family of factory-trained, seasoned German auto mechanics certainly helped pave the way. I learned early that a great tune starts with a real understanding of the machine.
I’ve remained a student of tuning both inside and outside the classroom. Formal training through EFI University is the foundation of everything we do, because calibration is engineering, not guesswork. That education is what separates a professional tuner from the backyard, forum, and YouTube crowd.

Why Choose Us
RCP Tuning offers a range of capability that very few small, private, local shops can match. We aren’t limited to domestic vehicles: we bring extensive European experience along with on- and off-road equipment, from performance cars to commercial diesels, tractors, construction machinery, marine, and powersports.
We work with a variety of read/write hardware and modules rather than relying on any single proprietary tuning platform. That means we choose the right tool for your vehicle instead of forcing your vehicle to fit the tool. Delicate ECU work is done in a clean, lab-like environment, because precision matters when it’s your engine control unit on the bench.
- European & domestic performance

Our Achievement
Over 15 years, RCP Tuning has tuned hundreds of on-road vehicles and thousands of off-road vehicles and pieces of equipment. Every one gets the same care, whether it’s a weekend car or a machine your business depends on.
