I don't live to far from them. Just a little south. I have heard good and bad about them. I have always heard good things about them from mustang owners, which the are shops main customers. However, my two friends have a engine building business on the side and one of the motors they built went up to akron hp for some dyno tunning. They told there customer not to go there because they have heard bad things, but he went anyways. The next day, the customer got a call saying they blew the motor up because they had leaned it out to much.
Take it for what it is worth, but I would be a little hesitant about going there. Try and see if you can find some other people who have gone there.

I heard their main gm tuner quit not to long ago so I would imagine that right now would not be a great time to go there. I need a tune but am a bit hesitant now and looking around to find someone good with gm cars
