Default Any good tuning shops around Ft. Myers/SW FL?

I live in Fort Myers and was wondering if any of you guys knew of any good local shops to get a tune after my cam goes in next month...much short of driving to Boca/Tampa/Orlando etc. Has anyone ever heard of Aftermath Performance on Hanson st? They want 85 for three pulls and 500 for a dyno tune.

Yes, here in fort myers we have bot Mike Norris and Jeremy Formato. Check out our sponsors, Aftermath performance (owned by Roy, great guy), and MPHmotorsports (Owned by Jeremy Z, another great guy). Both shop use a dynojet and both are located in a central Fort Myers location. If you need help locating a phone numbers for either of these sponsor, just shoot me a pm.

I know Roy personally and is a very stand up guy, customer service is a major priority.

When did Jeremy start going there, is he not going over off Fowler anymore? You have any idea the next time he will be there?

There are acturally 4 tuner's that live or visit this area.
Justin from J&J Performance is a great tuner and very picky about each car.
Tony here at MPH Motorsports is a great tuner but we don't advertise tuning much as we stay busy with the parts sales. Both Jeremy Formato and Mike Norris come to Ft.Myers often to tune for guys and gals in this area.
Jeremy F. goes to J&J and Aftermath, Norris is a Aftermath guy only.
Really it is up to you, we and J&J use EFI Live, Jeremy F. is mostly HP as is Norris.
Prices are all very similar.
It just depends on who you want tuning your ride.

First of all, thanks for all the replies I will be shooting a few PM's soon for pricing.

black01_WS6 - my roommate is helping me put my cam in, he has quite a bit of experience in C5 cam swaps but hasn't done an f-body before. We usually take our cars to his shop - I would kill myself before doing work on an F-body in a driveway. They aren't a performance shop however so after the cam I'll be looking at one of these shops you guys are talking about for the tune.

The car is at 62k so I'll probably do my timing chain and oil pump while I'm at it just for some preventative maintenance.

Hey! Sorry to resurrect this thread from the dead, (See what i did there ) . I live in Cape Coral and I'm curious if these shops are still in existence. Can anyone confirm?
