who is THE BEST TUNER in So Cal???

i wanna do all the little things (pulley, plugs, injectors, cam, tune, ??)(i already have a Alta CIA and i removed my cat) to my 6 speed 2006 MCS. Ive done sooo much research but it seems that all the guys that work on these cars have very satisfied customers AND a bunch of haters. I just dont want to spend $2,000 somewhere and have my car not be its best.

Tell me where you went, what was done, how much you spent, and if you are happy with the results. Please and thank you!!

That's a loaded question and you're sure to hear biased answers. That said, I agree with DICKS_GARAGE, call Mynes. Their located in Brea and do great work. They are doing some insurance repair work for my R53 right now. I highly recommend them.

Talk to the 3 folks recommended already and make your decision. Have clear performance goals and a budget and you should be happy with the results.

Good luck.
