Default Tuning Shops in the South

Can anyone suggest a good tuning shop in the south, besides Thunder Racing? Gonna need someone that can do forced induction tuning. I'll travel up to 8 hrs away from the New Orleans area for the job.

Once again Wiliams Performance out of NC. I thought I posted it up but somehow it's not in your thread. Guys are awesome and Nick is by far one of the best tuners in the south.

Some of your threads may have disappeared because they have contact phone #'s in them of non-paying sponsors.

There is a reason guys like myself, Vengeance, Spectacle, etc pay a fortune to advertise here

I never had their shop # listed. If anyone wanted a # I would always PM. If this was a post just for sponsored based tuning then I aplogize.

I personally don't care what you post, but others might.

Sponsors like myself pay a fortune to advertise here, so some are a little sensitive to other shops phone #'s getting plastered on the board that don't pay to be here. We pay to keep this site running, and for our rights out advertise.

That is all....

im just curious what you pay to advertise on any one of those forums? At the price we pay here, theres no way in hell I could ever sponsor 6 sites!!!

I think some people would be shocked to hear what we pay to advertise here.

Thats why we come across as ***** when it comes to keeping free advertising out.
