Default Who to tune with???

Well I already had made up my mind to tune with CMS. But now one of my buddies said "let's go tune with RET, I've heard good things about them". Ah crap now I'm confused. So what are you guys experiences and who would u recommend? RET is closer to me and little cheaper. CMS is prett far which I don't mind the drive. But I believe in "you get what you pay for" saying.

I think Ryne is a stand-up guy who values his shop's reputation and I wouldn't hesitate to pay more and drive a little further to CMS.

I do not know anything about RET and I have no experience with them.

CMS all day. who cares about a little drive when you spend alot of money on your car. make sure it runs right, and it runs good. stand up guy, and he is always willing to help out. DONT second guess it.
my friends vette was tuned by r.e.t. and he hates it for whatever reasons he has. dont know the details. but yeah. he claims he actually lost power or something.

Nope. Hahaha. Yeah man, he hates them to death now.
I heard when they became a sponsor, and they had a dyne day, on the table they had a "how to tune ls1's" book.
And I heard this from a pretty legit source that went to the dyne day...

Go with CMS which is who everyone continuously reccomends for a reason. I dont know much about RET but alot of guys who go to cheaper places for cheaper tunes end up going to Ryne to fix their cars in the long run, may as well only pay him instead of paying both places.

MRelectric03 you are right. Thanks for the suggestions guys, never had any car tuned so don't know who to trust. Guess I'm sticking with my first option then.

Zup Manny, good choice. I hear nothing but good things about CMS. I been to RET and I didn't like the experience so I didn't get my car tuned there. You are def right about getting what you pay for. Like you told me, its better to spend the money on the good stuff. lol
