you've also got 21st Century Muscle Cars, LG Motorsports, and a few other options. Do a search and you'll find plenty of info

I agree, but there are shops going out of business just as fast.

Well you see, that's the problem, everybody seems like they have something bad to say about every tuning shop. Thats why I wanted to know a reputable shop to tune my car. What do you think about dallas performance? Where's SQR?

I have been taking my car to RPM for 4 years now. Whenever I felt something was not right, I just took it back and it got corrected.
They have tuned my supercharged truck and my nitrous formula.

Interesting. ABS is controlled by the BCM and not the PCM. For F Bodies, HP Tuners only alters the PCM and can not control any of the functions of the BCM. Yup, must have been a screw up on the tune.

yeah i know about the bcm controlling that. just funny how going in i didnt have that light and going out i did. i know sometimes people forget to reconnect the VSS's so i checked those and they were on. maybe it happened coincidently, maybe not. i know if i ran a shop i wouldnt be leaving things like that get to the customer. but thats just me. i know if a customer is given anything to bitch about, they will.
