Default Tuner for an FI car

I will be needing a quality tuner for my car in the next 2months or so. I would like to make the trip to Gettysburg so Jeremy Could tune it but I don't think I'll be done by then. So is there a very good reputable tuner in the area of Pittsburgh that I could trust to take my car to? The is nothing too wild or extreme basically bolt ons with a procharger. Let me know if you guys know of anyone.
Thanks Jason

Why in the world would he want to go to rpm. Did anyone read his post. He is in Pittsburgh. He aint going to travel to Delaware for a tune.

I would look at sponsors in the Ohio area first.

Rapid would be worth a call if you can't hook up with Formato.
They're in Birdsboro, Pa.

I am sure that Jeremy will be back to Gettysburg again before the end of the year. He will gladly do a mail order tune to tide you over until he comes back up

Hey thanks for all the HELPFUL replies guys. Looks like it will be either Jeremy, rapid, or rpm. I just really would hate to haul a car that far for a tune, but it sounds like it may be worth it.
Thanks again guys!
Jason
