Default Still looking

I know i have asked this before but i still havent gotten a clear answer. If any of you have had your car tuned at TTP, DEZ, Rapid, Eastside, or anywhere else in the northeast, please tell me what your experiance was. I still need to find a tuner and i am will to go anywhere to get the best tune possible.

TTP. No other comes close to service, price, and the attention to detail they have. Well worth the 2 and a half hour drive there everytime I get something new. Matt is a great guy and understands our wants and needs. His team is great at providing info of any questions I ask or concerns I have.

Default add mores

tell us where your located. It makes a big difference if you are in NH compared to PA or something. But anyway i live in Central CT and i've had awesome experience with don at dez, and everyone whos gone to him has always been more than satisfied. I;ve experienced different places, and I felt that don is worth the 2.5 Hour drive from Waterbury CT to Seekonk MA

any of the board sponsors are a good choice for tuning and installs and are all closely priced

my personal choice is
EAST SIDE PERFORMANCE

I've had my car done at Eastside.. and I have nothing but good to say, from the tune to the work that ws done, everything has been top notch. Prices have been reasonable in comparison to other shops in the area, and the expertise for setting up suspension and whatnot are second to none, the years of racing experience that they have there really shows.. they know how to make a car hook up, and run strong, and they stand behind their work 100%. That to me, is worth more then anything.

I been to DEZ and Eastside.


And I'll drive the extra hour to go to Eastside again. They do more LS1 stuff there. And like Noyzee said they have the fastest Ls1's around.

Eastside did my tune and I've got nothing but good things to say, nice group of guys there.

I've also dealt with Matt at TTP a couple times too for buying parts, and he's also been very helpful and always willing to cut a good deal.

Well here's a vote for Don at DEZ!

He's done all the work on my previous car. And he's the ONLY one that'll touch my next project. I've been nothing but happy with everything he's done.

Well i guess that is a good thing that i cant decide because they are all good shops. Im in NJ but like i said driving X hours to get the car done does not bother me at all. I like TTP because it is close but i hear so much good stuff on Eastside and Dez. I cant decide
