I'll throw in my .02 and advise against them. I had a bad experience with them and I won't ever be back (and no, none of it had to do with anything on my end, I assure you). You're gonna hear both good and bad. The question is whether you feel comfortable with them or not.

There are a few other shops around the area that I would highly recommend over FBC. Check out PSI in Glen Burnie.

Also another great shop is Performance Solutions.

depends on who does it, i forgot brets rates and he is the regular tuner, but Dirk who is also a personal friend of mine tunes up there at odd hours, like at night, and i believe he charges $350 for a lifetime tune, you just gotta pay jason the dyno time, really i think they both come out fairly equal on price, and both are good tuners so you cant really go wrong with either,

and all these guys are on this forum as well as EFA. but EFA just seems like FBC vs. PSI online sometimes...
