Default SoCal tuners?

Anybody know a good tune shop in Southern California? Or within a few hours of San Diego at least? If I had to drive to Vegas, I'd be okay with that too.

Check out Stritcly Performance Motorsports in Van Nuys. They use HPTuners exclusively and Ken@HPTuners directly helps them with their tunes.

Jeff Creech from Carolina Auto Masters is coming out here to dyno tune cars August 19-21. Contact me if you want in. Cost is $300 for bolt-on cars and $350 for S/C, H/C, Stroker, Turbo, etc. Tuning will be in Colton at Tuning Technologies.

Michael,

I'd be interested in a tune by Jeff Creech. It would be a cam-only tune by the way. Of the dates listed, August 20th would work for me. Is there any additional info that you need?

Thanks,
Brian

If you're flexible on the day, you could really decide within a couple of day of the event.

Go with the Milkman (Creech) he knows his stuff and he is a good guy also. I going to try to get my car done in time for him to tune it when he's here. He did some baseline dyno runs for me when I lived in NC.
