you could also try Harris Speed Works. i've had good luck with them and haven't heard anything bad. they aren't that far from Trenton, maybe half hour away from you.

Hate to ask why not use TTP? 7 posts.. hmm something sounds fishy...

Now getting back on topic. We are in North Jersey I am sure we can take care of anything you may need. If you want something a bit closer, I would go to Cartek they are around Exit 138 if I am not mistaken I am at 153, so it's a bit more of a ride.

Maybe you could elaborate? I dont think ive ever seen anything negative about TTP.

All the shops listed are a good choice though.

We are not a far ride from trenton. We have our own in house dyno and perform our own tuning, we dont subcontract anything out. If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me a pm.

Here is a link to estimates on our pricing.

98TA: Any of the eastern tuners are a good pick IMO. If Fran or Mike are closer to you maybe try them. I am definitely in the 1- 1:30 hour range from you, have tons of customers from your area... I can tell you it takes me hour and fifteen minutes to visit my buddies @ ECS in Cream Ridge which is near Trenton. I would definitely be happy to square away a tune for you if you do decide to use my services. Bolt-on tunes are $250 including the dyno time and Full Tunes (For internal engine modified cars) include part throttle tuning and that is $525 w/ dyno time. Once again we do not outsource anything, we do everything including installing headers, building motors, fabricating chassis (NHRA/SFI/Chassis), full custom suspension, and custom alignment/scale corner balancing in house.

My tuning has been featured in last month's issue of GMHTP Magazine (March 2008) with our budget heads/cam package installation on Rick's car. I was also featured in the solely stainless article for the dyno tuning on Chris' 06 Vette w/ ARH Headers. But I suck and hate people

LS1Impulse: You didn't know? It's a wide known fact that we suck, lol. 7 posts later, I'd love to see what he has to say considering that he just posted on January 14th through the 29th asking who I was. So between the 29th and the 7th, he decided that I suck..

Call Mikey at Rapid Motorsports. He does all the tuning himself and doesn't subcontract anything out. Not to mention he's a heck of a nice guy. www.rapidmotorsports.com

The new troll name for binlaircus is ls1luver. So I assume your name is Wade, which I don't even remember a customer by that name. So why are you giving us trouble???

Rob I found out further from the customer. It was a Joe Prince abortion car that came to me with no cam sensor signal. Was supposed to be brought back to me for a retune I only charged half. I would have never dealt with that guy but my office manager scheduled him and he had no clue who he was. Oh and the best part, Joe charged him $150 because "i lost my program".. I hate when I leave HPTuners around and magically it gets lost.

I made an offer to hopefully make ls1luver happy in this matter, I feel bad he got hosed.
