Default Tuning shop attempt #2

So ive asked before and again im still looking; are there any shops in the western washington area that have handled more than a few LSx motors as far as tuning and such goes? I was planning on running a conservative base tune to break in my turbo motor and then have it set up on a dyno and tweaked.

I would not let Trifecta tune my lawnmore, he did a tune for a friend, messed up he tranny tune and would not return his call. We called from my phone and he answered. Wow what coincidence, offered no help at all.

Well that's more info than the gocart anyway...

I've heard the same said about other shops as well ( lost an engine sale because I suggested the shop once ) and after having gone through nothing but bullshit to put my car back together I feel the same way about certain shops.

I had not heard anything bad about them and Vince was very nice on the phone when I asked him a few things and they seem to have a very nice system in place for mail order tuning.

I'm sure most tuners might have a few unsatisfied customers, you can't please everyone all of the time regardless of what nut-swinging cronies have to say.

Tom is the best in the area from what I've seen, his mustang dyno is a superior tool and he knows his way around the electronics pretty darn good but I have heard of other shops in Oregon like in Lake Oswego, etc..

Personally I think it's rigged for the Vette guys to always look better
