If you read post, the Gent who is looking, lives in Miami Lakes, not Jeremy's neighborhood.
Appts. are When & Where....
Yes Jeremy and Dan are both amongst the select best.
Dan is logical choice and closer to Miami Lakes is all.

Don't forget Jeremy Formato travels to many different areas (under Jeremy F screen name on here).
MaSport also seems to have a great reputation.

Need some help deciding? Here's some additional perspective...
We've tuned everything from stock Z06s to completely built, heavily-cammed monsters, including race cars that you'll see at Daytona, Sebring, etc! Movie cars? Sure...We did THE "I AM LEGEND Shelby GT500" that was used for camera close-ups. Exotics? How about mild to twin-turbo wild Mosler MT900s? The only F-IN'-AROUND we do here is when we drink a toast to the dudes that came in second. Enough said?

Already have you penciled in! Can't wait to see what that bad bastard will do now that your new hardware is in. I heard you installed a bourbon dispenser to console the poor suckers who line up with you down the 1/4. You must be going soft 'cause of the holidays...rumour had it that you used to prep the contender with vaseline!!

Yes I know that dan is closer but jeremy makes trips down south all the time to do work. Im not trying to take anything away from dan. I never have used him but im sure that he does good work. I just know that jeremy did my car and I am very happy with the way that it turned out. I was just trying to throw out some options for this guy.

Well given the choice tho, go Dyno Dan. There is no substitute.
After he laid his hands on my ride, I'm second in the Challenge points at our local track.
Driving is only the second half of it. Got to have it all working in tuning harmony to extract the most on a consistant basis.
Also, what about follow up or something you may question that requires a wrench placed back on your ride?
I'd think it's tough dealing with a "Travelin' Tuner, no?
I've gone back a couple of times for a follow up and always recv'd a handshake and help. Not a hand again in my pocket.
DynoDan keeps his customer base as a smart businessman too! JMO.
Besides and Remember, he wrote the book.....lol

Depends on what has been done to the car. If the car has bolt-ons only, it's as low as $450. Prices go up from there depending on how heavily modified the engine is and what you want from the car. Our most expensive tune? That'd be for Pro race teams who pay us over $3200 to fully tune their cars on both the dyno (including track-specific-simulation tuning) and at the road-race tracks. They even have the trophies to show for it. It all comes down to your car and your desires. Our tunes aren't the cheapest out there, but then when was quality ever free? Maybe Grandma's apple pie, but even she had to fork out the Benji's to keep you well fed.

In my experience, money spent with Dan, is money well spent. I have always been skeptical of "tuners". However, Dan will walk you through everything and answer any questions you may have. Masport isn't one of those shops where you ask yourself "Are these guys playing games, or am I getting what I paid for?"
The current car I have has a mild combo. I built it in Chicago, where it was tuned by a very reputable shop, who is also a sponsor of this site. The tune was good, I have no complaints, the car ran well. However, Dan made some changes that made a 8-10hp difference from 3000rpm to redline. The best part was I wasn't even there for that. Next, we tuned my nitrous system and got it set up with a safe A/F ratio and perfect timing curve. By the time I left the car was running great, and I couldn't have been happier.
The next week I hit the track. The weather wasn't as good the previous time I had been there, (+400 da more than the previous outing). Besides the tune and weather conditions, everything was exactly the same. Thanks to Dan's changes my car went .2 faster and gained a solid 1mph on hp (with the nitrous tune) over my personal best!
Since then I have asked Dan to make small changes, for which he has always had time for me. I have referred him to friends (one with a Ford GT he recently tuned which is an absolute beast) who all have had great results. Anyone who has been racing for a while, or has worked in this business knows there is something to be said about this. Dan isn't one of those guru's who works on your car and shoves you on your way. It's nice to come across a guy who knows his stuff, but doesn't have that "I know my stuff, everyone knows I do, so I'm a dick and everyone just has to deal with it" attitude.
