Did they recently change their name? I thought they were Fbody Central? If we are talking of the same shop i've heard nothing but good things. Price is about normal but you should consider added dyno time as it's impossible to get a tune spot on in 1 hour. Also look for a tuner that will street tune your car also and not only on the dyno rollers. HTH

I'd look for someone who has a base price on a dyno tune, no matter how long it takes. $500 seems to be the normal price for this. I've seen tuners dyno all night on a N/A engine. A turbo will deffinatlly be more in depth and take a bit longer. By the hour time might get real expensive.

PSI is diffrent from f-body central. both are great shops and near glen burnie. go to the website and look in the "ask a sponser" link for jason(f-body) or jeff at PSI. theres phone numbers and websites on teh right side of the forum. i use FBC and jason is a great guy and his tuner bret really knows his stuff.

My car's up there right now at PSI getting tuned. Jeff has done a lot of stuff for me and I would absolutely recommend them over FBC. My opinion (and many others') differs greatly from 2000WS6TA's about FBC. I wouldn't let them work on a hot wheels car.
And FYI - Jeff used to work at FBC but decided to leave and thus start his own shop. Coincidence? You can decide on that one.

We do the dyno time separately because it works out for your average guy - 80% of the cars that go through a shop are typical boltons/heads cam type stuff. I cant justify penalizing the little - besides if your building a 900 hp car I think its worth it to cover a little extra dynotime for $160 or something to make sure the setup lives if at all possible
Im pretty sure most everyone gets their moneys worth, try to take care of people best we can - we have guys 346s with 250s duration cams on 108 LCAs driving them to work, and it definitely didnt cost them $500 or more to get it straight
