sorry to post this up so late.
my eastside story is one of the best.
i sent my car down for a new cam and stage three cluch. few other things. one happened to be the crank shaft position sensor.
they replaced it.
i made great power with thier esp1 cam. 387 i believe.
drove the car home. keep in mined i live about 50 min away from them.
drove round for a week.
well that damn sensor went bad after about 300 miles.
i called and asked them if they could fix it agian.
they sent up a flat bed. towed my car down, fixed it in a day. and sent it back to me. no problems sence.
oh and they didn't charge me a thing. i offered to pay for atleast the tow. ken refused.
since then i have brought my car back several times. heads, n20 bla bla bla. and i will keep going there even after i move to virginia. because they have been very very good to me. work, price, deals. very friendly.
i am proud to call them my shop and recomend them to others.
they are a great group of guys and don't seem to mind that i and my car are such a pain in the ***.
all shops are out to make money. my shop made a friend.

i think seeing your in NJ, TTP would be your best bet. I have a few friends in NJ that go to TTP and all ive heard were awesome things about them. I've also ordered parts from Matt and he has good prices, can't go wrong there (close and awesome place) IMO

i havent seen much on cartek stuff lately, but i know they had a lot of fast *** cars running for a while. some of the fastest ones at that. very racer friendly.

I have to give this one to Don @ Dez racing. That man is good. My truck makes killer power (500/550 at the tires), idles at 680 rpms and drives perfect. And its only a 4.8 liter. When it comes to tuning Don is the only one that I would let tune my truck.
I used TTP. No problems with the tune and the guys took the time to answer my questions. They also have that deal if you need a re-tune after installing some more mods (there’s always more) they will do it for 250.00 or so. Check the run below..
Theres a place in Worcester, MA New England Dyno and Tuning. Guy named Kevin I think he said he tunes for Eastside and for NED, have talked a few times seems very reputable. And the owner is goin to different tuning schools and is being tought by Kevin.
