Try Rapid Motorsports in Reading, PA. That's where I got mine tuned although I just have minor bolt-ons.

Haters are gonna hate... not you, just the people you heard that from.

Feel free to search the numerous threads with happy customers who have had their car tuned at RPM. People get jealous when they see cars making the numbers like they do out of RPM and make those kind of accusations. Look up the cars that have been running for years with an RPM tune, pushing the envelope and running the numbers.

If RPM were out to chase numbers, they'd post up Uncorrected figures, STD figures, or numbers that didn't have a smoothing value. Everything out of the shop is SAE numbers, and they've got a tuner that's tuned countless cars.

Its almost impossible to "get a number" out of a car. You might pick up what? 5-10 rwhp by making it unsafe? and even that is stretching it. Feel free to search the forum or ask anyone who has had thier car tuned by us and ask them thier experiance.

That's funny, my experience was the opposite. I have had my car tuned there twice, before and after the supercharger and wouldn't go anywhere else. They take great care of every car that goes in and out of the shop.

Recheck your source and do your car a favor and go to RPM.
