I don't know there rep but I do know they upgrade, paint, restore, rebuilt everything from engines to entire cars. They mainly do with American pony cars, they sale them for 40k or more. I talked to a mechanic on the phone he said he can do it, but I hope it's worth it for $600 dollars. They're the only garage I know that could possibly do it in the area I am living in right now.

$600 bucks for what? The cost for a couple of dyno pulls should be liked 65-80 bucks. Do your research and go to only a shop that has a great track record. Search the internet, there are plenty of hacks out there especially when it comes to tuning.

Boost levels fine. I would check everything on a dyno like all the above said but $600 is waaayyy too much! My GT was fine for awhile at 14 psi

For $600 you could get a complete custom dyno tune...not just checking a/f and whatnot. Even then that price would be a little high.

Hey man you should be okay if like everyone has said if the car is dynoed properly. Don't be like me. I had a jacka** do my tune and the car was never right. Had a friend of my mine play with the tune using my hand held tuner. Lasted about two months and Kaboom. Hell worst thing about it, I don't even drive the car that much. Moral of the story, make sure whom ever does your tune he's not a jack**. Also never let Billy Bob or any shade tree mechaninc mess with your tune. You have been warned!! Good luck man.
