Default Performance Tuning shop in the Seattle area?

Can anyone recommend me a good performance shop that can dyno tune both of my pontiac grand prixs? I don't have a beautiful v8 but I figured this site would have my answers.


I'm aware of Trifecta, but they are real expensive. Yet seem to be my best choice. And I am literally 8 minutes from Bloods enterprises in auburn, wa. I've heard bad and good things about bloods. They are also expensive and use HP tuners. And HP tuner credits = $$$$

Any other shops you guys can recommend me or have more info about the 2 shops that I already know about? I currently have access to my brothers DHP PT. But I don't want to learn how to tune.

The engines are a L67 supercharged 3.8 and a LA1 3400 N/A. Both are highly modified. The (L67) is in a 2002. And the (3400) is in a 1995 grand prix with a 98 monte carlo pcm.


I appreciate any help.

Corey

I recommend Vince @ Trifecta. Did an awesome job on my car, and you get what you pay for.

Indeed. Clearimage automotive that did my exhaust last year highly recommends Vince.

May I ask how many hours it took to have your car tuned?

Thanks

Give them a call it's listed on their site
http://www.turbotechnologyinc.com/
They go by the user name of Turbo Tech if you want to shoot a PM. They do great work and have held a few dyno days, watch for announcements in this forum.

Vince at Trifecta will not stop until the job is done to perfection as well Trifecta Performance, he can be contacted through his site or PM name here of VinceTrifecta.

Both are stand up companies - contact them both and see where your needs fall is the best option.

Thanks. I contacted Tom(Tjwong) here on the forum and he seems like a great choice. I like the fact he has a load bearing mustang dyno and the price seems right.

I'll check out the others.

He has actually worked on it twice. The first meeting was to get the road tune done so I could drive it. He actually made a 2hr drive over to my place in Wenatchee to tune the car. I think it took him something like 2hrs to get it done. I then drove it over to Auburn for him to do the dyno tune. I think that took around 3hrs, and we had to swap out fuel filters in that time as well. He is a great guy and wont stop working till he gets it right. I think my car is on his web site. Awesome service!

Sounds good to me.. I chose Vince to tune my 02 GTP. If this tune goes well in a few weeks then i'll ask him to tune the 95 grand prix. The 95 grand prix will need a road tune first to drive it then a dyno tune afterwards. Same as yours.
Plus the dyno that Vince uses frequently is just a couple minutes from my place in auburn, wa.
Thanks,
Corey
