Default who is considered the best tuner in PA?

as stated who has the best reputation on our LS1 motors specifically tuning for boosted applications? as we all know its all in the tune so i dont want to skimp on it, if frost wasnt a 12 hour round trip i would go there but thats not going to happen, i am in central PA but can travel a few hours in any direction.

In Aprilish Jeremy Formato is coming to Gettysburg, He is out of Florida I believe but travels around to do tuning. He is very good.

Try Fran at Race Proven Motorsports, they are located in Claymont Del.
They have tuned and built some serious boosted cars. They do great work.

+1 for Formato, I have seen his work. He does an excellent job. If you can wait till spring he comes up to Gettysburg and does dyno tuning.

Why aren't you doing it yourself?
Where in sentral PA are you?
There is a shop around Reading, that runs a boosted vuhicle at Maple Grove, I had talked to them about doing my syclone, but they never did one before

+2 for Mikey at Rapid Motorsports. I know Ed from VA Speed makes the occasional trip up to PA, not sure when his next one is but he's good with boosted cars.

I feel we are very high on that scale. We tune a TON of VERY high HP FI set ups. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to set up an appointment.
