JBA is supposed to be good. I've never been there myself though.

just because someone has a DYNO doesn't mean they are good tuners. I would only get my car dynoed there not dyno tuned. I would take it to CMS for all performance work and tuning.

I'd have to agree with that. When I had my Mustang and didn't know any better, JBA took advantage and charged me for some outrageous things...not to say that their quality of work isn't bad or anything, but I definitely wouldnt recommend them.

CMS In Lake Elsinore. Ryne is definitely the better tuner. My brother has an 05 GTO Auto. Mods:

K&N Intake, Wilson Manifold, Shorty Header, Magnaflow Catback. On Haddad's Dyno, tuned by Tad, the result was: (On a DynaPack)
[IMG][/IMG]

Then Ryne Fixed it to this: WITH THE SAME MODS!!! (On the Rollers)
[IMG][/IMG]

Track Results:
.5 Seconds Quicker, 3 mph more. Ryne found that on the Tad tune, he had pulled back timming. At the track, the car never had any oomph off the line. Old 60's were 2.2's now, they are 2.0's

you know you just need to drive Ortega to get to CMS right?


and to the OP... CMS is NOT in San Diego... it's about midway between LA and San Diego.

Take a drive to CMS. Check out the differences on the Dynos. Look at how the power curve is different. HUGE DIFFERENCE. The Tad Tune Ramps up, While Rynes tune is broad accross the board. No power dips, to peak power loss like HMS's Tune.

Orange county to Lake Elsinore through Ortega takes like 30-45 minutes depending on the driver.
