I'd recommend Jeremy Formato. He did both my cars and I'm very happy with them.

I'd say you can't go wrong with Tracy's shop.

RevXtreme is a top notch tuning facility. Tracy took the time out of his busy schedule to show me the back room (or what I like to call 'the dream chamber') where he's got several cars with 1000+hp. He's built a great reputation by building some nasty vettes which I'm sure you'll see if you go there.

For the street tuning we use an Inovate, and on the dyno the unit that is integrated in the dyno stack. We have our own Dyno Jet 248X inhouse, no extra charges for dyno time.

We can also weld in an extra O2 bung to attache the wideband sendor into the exhaust for more accurate readings. Good safe tunes w/out pushing the limits to get that last few numbers at the possible expense of a motor.

Plenty of good tuners around you. Formato has tuned both my LS-rides as well.

I would say JeremyF or Bob at Precision... they both do outstanding work. Jeremy has spent a LOT of time on my car making sure it's perfect, and I'm happy.

Myself as well as my brother use Bob (Precision Motorsports of FL) to tune our cars and he does an outstanding job everytime.

Rich and the crew over there will take good care of you.

Jeremy also tuned my bolt on 02' TA. He took his time, explained what he was adjusting and why. Stand up guy and great tuner. I'll definately be back after adding more parts.

We have seen Jeremy do some awesome stuff on our dyno up in Gainesville!

Another vote for Formato (he bribed me with some cookies yesterday though so take that into account )
