You sure? I live in Nashua... Theres only one dyno around here, it's in Hudson... Pro Tree. That do mostly Stangs, and its not AWD.

Theres one or two in Manchester, and maybe one in Concord from what I've heard? Either way, just about everyone listed in this thread is closer to this guy, than the ones in NH. And I'm willing to bet they'll have a better experience too. I've never heard anything good, about any of the shops in NH. Except for Pro Tree Dyno...

When I was down in CT for school. Everyone talked about XXTuning and how nice a place is was. No experience though.

You could try The Shop in Norwalk,CT. They built my buddies daily driven STI. It made 470 WHP on race gas.

Pruven recently built the worlds fastest evo running 50 psi, VR is more of a DSM/EVO place lots of friends there, but for a wrx id go with xxtuning they are probably the better shop to go to because they have alot of experience with subarus,but if you looking closer to home swift motorsports has been building some mean wrxs lately.

i thought ESP was more of a 3000GT place cuz when i was there there was like 13 of them in the parking lot

I don't think I'll be modding my WRX anytime soon. I did learn that 06+ WRX's are underrated from the factory! 02-05 WRX rated 230hp were dynoing ~175awhp, while 06+ (rated the same from the factory) were putting down ~200awhp!

I won't know really until I dyno mine. Right now I'm looking forward to finishing the break-in period!!!

XXtuning in CT is an Excellent shop. Incredible place, the shop is huge the showroom is unbelievable (well from the places I have been to). I bought a quad off a Tuner there his name is Chris and drives a yellow jacket GTO.... Cool guy.

Here's a pic that does the showroom no justice whereas it's only one corner... I know my quad is in the way LoL





I think at the time there were about 5-6 WRX's in the showroom with an older built nissan of some sort, a 350z or two and if I remember correctly a couple highly modded Neon SRT-4's. The owner or manager was in the shop working on some old guys Aston Martin coupe...

Hands down for a WRX go to xxtuning. See Chris he is the man when it comes to subies. He gets people from all over the region coming up to see him. He had a guy from Jersey there last time I was at the shop. XXtuning.com!
