Default Quick question about tunning in S. Florida?

Just want to say first of all. I dont want to start any wars or trouble.

A good friend of mine has a GTO that needs a tune fixed bad, because of a non-sponsers mess up. Anyway he was asking me about another shop by the name of Breathless Performance? I think. I know there not a sponsor on here so if need be you guys can pm me what you think about them. Just wanted to see if I could get some more info for him thats all.

BTW. I did tell him that Mike Norris is coming over to extreme performance Palm city and he is going to look into that too.

I wouldnt recommend breathless after seeing the mess of a motor they did on a friends C6.

Wait for Mike to come back down or take it to Jeremy F.

i would tell your friend to seriously think out his options, i personally talked too quite a few tuners in florida before i made a decision, which ultimately led me to EFI ALCHEMY. doc was the most professional & down to earth tuner i had spoke with. and most important is that he really cares that your happy, i would recommend him to anybody that needs any tuning or mechanical work done.

Absolutely! I wouldn't let Breathless any where near my car. Masport is one of the best period.

I did a lot of research on Tuners in Fl. before i would let anyone touch my 2010 Camaro SS and Mike Norris was my choice.He also treated me like i was someone he has know for years and that is what i call great customer relations.Plus him & his wife took me too lunch.I am very picky and dont let anyone touch my cars except me but for what he charged me to do the job he did it would have cost me more to do it myself.

A bunch of good tuners listed above.
I've used Formato on both my LS-based rides, very happy with the results.

Thanks Justin and everyone else who chimed in. Looks like a little more work for me when I come down. I did get the current tune e-mailed to me and not sure what to say except WOW. Should be easily fixed though.
