Default Central Texas Tuner

I'm stationed a Fort Hood and looking to get me car dyno tuned. I have 2 shops local The Car Shop and Sunshine Performance, was hoping to get some feedback from someone who has been to either shop or a recommendation for were to go.

Enter at your own risk is all I gotta say. Best bet is make the drive Austin and see Brian at Reckart performance tuning. Does amazing work!

Brian Reckart hands down. Especially because you are at Hood. He is not that far away in Cedar Park. No offense to Pat G and some other tuners with great reps like his, but Brian is great and is much closer.
