GS Performance also does tuning, and that'd be me, so feel free to post what you'd like done with your car and we'll set you up.
we're very different from most places, we don't do quantity, we take time until it's right. my favorite example is taking 10+hrs to tune idle and general drivability on a a4/cam/headers car. good luck getting that from anyone else.
welcome to cali, i'm a new one myself here, and so far it's been great!

Kevin, will you be using HPTuners? I might have to drive up there when I finally get this all done.
