Default Engine Tune at Dyno shop in LA area

Hey guys, I'm new to the site, I have a '97 T/A M6, basic bolt-ons.

Does anyone know of a dependable, trustworthy dyno shop in the LA/Ventura
County area? If you guys could just begin a list with the location, your
opinion, prices, and how well the car has ran since.

I go to college out here and am looking to find a place where I can go to for one day and add some easy RWHP! Thanks guys.

I've been happy with CMS tuning my car. I know it's a bit of a drive but they do a great job. Search this forum this topic pops up every other week.

Lets not get things confused, his trans was done before he even made it to the shop. Thats the reason the first time he came down it never made it on the dyno. When he came the second time with the trans good, while getting strapped down to dyno I pointed out the oil press was low. Maybe the engine having well over 100k miles on it could be why? Like he said there was no knock and no smoke, if I didnt say anything about it Brandon probably wouldnt have noticed.

number one it doesnt matter how many threads i have open about anything, and two you obviously didnt read the thread... the thread was asking if my transmission could **** up because the car had NO TUNE. not did my trans blow up because of a bad tune. you can pump up cms or anyone else thats cool, but RET is legit and my trans problem wasnt because of anything at RET my trans was blown when i took it to ret, and greg still took the time to drive it, put a steet tune on it and a bunch of other stuff he didnt have to do, which most other shops would have told me to go away and not wanted to deal with that. lastly the oil pressure was low because of bad machining by the MACHINE shop, not cuz of a tune, even with low oil pressure RET made my car a beast for all the things that were wrong with it The oil pressure issue came up after a new built transmission was put in by extreme trans. as soon as the motor comes back from the machine shop again, it will be right back at RET getting tuned again. im sure cms has a lotta fast stuff, but all you have to do is you tube RET they got a rocket ship mustang, and i dont even wanna mention the ls they are about to unleash on the streets. so lets not blame ret for my motor having bad machining done. Nothing but great things to say about RET.

That's kool bro that greg went out of his way to help u out.. I've heard good things about him from my ford buddies.. the only problem is that these guys come here bashing other tuners saying it doesn't matter of the experience but r.e.t. is the best.. wtf does that mean.. when I decided to get my car tuned I heard nothing but good things about cms so that's why I decided to take the 1 1/2 hr drive to cms..

Nobody is bashing anybody i just think everybody should get a fair chance, my experience with Greg was great so I'm expressing my opinion and support to him like you are expressing yours to cms... That's it ... Nothing else...

I'm posting from my iPhone so I didn't proof read before I posted last time..
