Yeah I'm in clay I'm Orange park now. Do either of these guys do dyno tunes? I would like to see what kind of power I'm putting down once I get the headers on and the tune.

Jeremy does dyno and then street tunes it. He will be in Jax soon. I have 3 to 5 cars that will need to be tuned in a week or so. He is very good, he tuned mine and a whole lot of gtos. There are 4 to 6 gtos in the 10's and he tuned most if not all of them. He is a sponser fasterproms give him a call 813-476-7364.

jeremy formato tuned mine and i am 100% completly satisfied...

most tuners only tune on the dyno for highest hp numbers.. he does the dyno tune then goes out on the street with you to make sure its just how YOU want it.. most tuners dont do that

Another satisfied Formato tuned ride here, and he'll be doing my truck after I finished modding it up.

He was just in Gainesville at Rollins Automotive this past week, and he tends to come back every 3-4 weeks or whenever he or the shop gets cars lined up.

As stated by others, he's a great tuner. Not saying he's better than all the others in FL (and there are a bunch), but I've personally seen him tune over 2 dozen cars, and he does great work.

formato does all the cars in the fort myers area. prolly 30-40+ people in jsut this small area with him that are very satisfied. great guy too. finds power other tuners wouldnt be able to find.

if you dont have him tune your car, well your **** wont be as good as the rest of the florida f-bodies.

Ditto on calling Formato. He just tuned mine the other night. He will go into detail with you about what he is doing and put it into everyday terms. Pretty cool to watch him work.
