I've had work done by synergy, heard good things about newtech as well. Rick uses a dynapack that attaches to the axel, and I believe nick uses a dynojet. I believe pricing is relatively similar.

Been a loyal customer of Rick at Synergy for YEARS. I trailer my car 3+ hours anytime I need tuning just to see him. I don't know anything about newtech but don't let numbers fool you. Dynos are only tools for tuning......not measuring power from one to the next.

I didn't mention Nate because this thread is about the bay but Nate is a great tuner if you cruise down to Fresno.
