driveability is by far the most important part of tuning, imo. many of the places you go to get a dyno tune will just be adjusting parameters at the peak trying to give you the biggest number on your dyno sheet. a car with a good "driveability" tune will most likely make within 10rwhp of a dyno tune anyways.

Stalled autos are also so much fun on the street

Both of these FL shops can get you an Ed Wright tune on their chassis dyno.
That way, it's done right.

Current Performance
12635 US Hwy 19, Unit 2
Hudson, FL 34667
ph 727-862-1921

Extreme Motorsports
1330 West Industrial Ave.
Boynton Beach, FL 33426
561-733-1169

Ed has been doing my cars for over 10 years and I have yet to find anyone who does a better job.
Everything from my bolt-on 92 to my H/C 95 and all of the custom builds I've done on the 93.
