    That is the closest that I know of plus they are a vendor so we can vouch for their work. Josh and his crew are good at what they do

    Really? Have you had any work done by Josh? There are 2 of us in San Diego who went to him for tuning. He costs big bucks and the email tune I got for free was better than a dyno tune from him.

    Obviously NO, but that is your opinion and I'm sure there are other customers of his who will say otherwise. You also need to read up on what kind of car he has it is not a store bought SRT it's a project car, so tuning this must be done hands on.

    Just an opinion but HoP's hands on tune wasnt any good compared to the other email tune...and Adams car was heads/cam/cats/exhaust...I used the other guy to do my supercharged setup and so far its great!

    Really? Adam, may I suggest you use better tact, please? Talking like this to me is one thing, but to someone who is merely trying to help, well is uncalled for. Thank you.
    Thanks for the help Wade.
    Not sure who the "Other" guy is, but we have several great tuners as Vendor's here.


    DynoSteve from RDP can do this. Steve will even fly out to you, but you will need to wait until he is back in the states. Maybe a month or so?

    Lafrad from Inertia is another top tuner and might possibly fly out to you.

    I would suggest that you PM these guys and at least ask. You will be pleasantly surprised.

    God luck.

    Yes, Dad. Sorry, but I'm still really heated about how I got bent over at HOP. So people recommending them with no personal experience set me off. Obviously.

    Understandable, but do not shoot the person who is trying to help another forum member.

    I totally understand not every vendor is going to make each of their customers 100% happy all the time so we will just leave it at that.
    Maybe some of you local So.Cal guys can PM him and help him out locally there seems to be a good amount of SRT support there


    There you go again:love:
