If you are bitching about $500 then you might as well save yourself the tune and just not tune the car. You get what you pay for and that is a fact That is a average rate around here and you have to remember The 1st time you go to a tuner your rate will always be higher then other times you go back to them with the same car, re-tunes can run from $100-$200 on the average.

Yeah I think you were a little about the price, just telling you, you get what you pay for. Hell there is a guy in Los Banos 19-20 yrs old never tuned before got his own shop still waiting for other tools who bought ls1 edit software who is trying out tuning for $80 a hour, thats a decent price and looks like a decent shop.....from outside

I bet you go to any other shop then the ones mention you will be spending more in the long run, and i'm not talking bout re-tunes and going somewhere else, talking bout replacing that motor of yours REAL QUICK!!!

We all just helping out and from our inputs and the from the people around the area I would take some advise and narrow it down to the two mention in the bay. SYNERGY or NEWTECH!!!!

Just keep calling Nick back at Newtech tell he can hear the phone ring, being on a dyno all day can make your own head ring, LOL.

OHHHH and another pointer, might want to go to shops check them out and also talk and get a feel for these guys, i mean they are going to be tweaking your car and you should know a little something about them.

Just helping out!

IDK about Newtech having all the fastest cars in the bay. Every shop has put out some fast cars..............

But also remember this about 95% of the cars that are tuned by these tuners are not built by the tuners. So just because a fast car comes out of a shop doesn't mean that shop built it, just tuned it.

I like seeing the faces on some people who built a POS and then take it to get tuned and then the tuner can't tune it because it was put together like a POS by a POS, LOL!!!! And then that person is quick to say that shop can't tune, HAPPENS ALOT!!

uhhhhhh I think you are starting the tuner war ****..............

I never said anything bad about Newtech, you just said Newtech has all the fastest cars in the bayarea, I just said I don't think they have EVERY fast car in the bay area and THAT THERE WAS OTHERS (that means other then synergy) that have tuned some fast cars.

Saul you like the to start drama. Also look where I told dude to keep calling Nick because he may be busy, I have been to Newtech so has Tino and so has a few of my friends, Nothing bad about Newtech and Never once have I played favorites, hell look when i posted all the tuners IF YOU CAN READ YOU DUMB ****, I said I am going to have Nate at All Out Performance tune my next ride.

You know whats funny you mention yourself in the mix of those people of fast cars from Newtech, THEY ALL HAVE PROVEN TIMES OF BEING FAST FROM GOING TO THE TRACK TO PROVE THERE TIMES

UNLIKE YOU!!!!

There are others that tune in the bay area that no one has listed. Such as Willis Automotive in Salinas. I also work with them, bring them in some tuning which I do on their dyno on a rental basis. Depending on what your doing, it can be a bit cheaper. Just saying..

My best run at Sac. Raceway is 12.3 at 120mph. I'm going back soon for some better numbers. I didn't run it at Fontana.

It depends on your experience with the shops, sometimes taking it to the best doesn't get you results and treatment you would've hoped for.

And this post both made me rofl. Saul, I remember seeing you on norcal-lsx, there's a reason your stupid *** got banned, cuz your a cocky ***

One of the fastest in the bay? What's your big bad ride sir? Unless your pushing out 9's or lower in the 1/4 mile (which from the sound of it you haven't) then you need to sit down and stfu. Synergy's a great place to get a tune, I'll vouch for them 100%. When I went to test drive Rick's old Trans Am (That MAXXLIMIT now owns) it was completely stock except for a minor tune Rick had put on it in his spare time, and I could tell a noticeable difference already from how it felt. His prices are decent and he is second to none imo. Nick's a good tuner too, it's just hard to get ahold of him
