Want GP Tuned (So.California)

Anyone know of a great tuner in So Cal area...?

Seems like I cannot locate anyone willing to do the tune? Never used RMW and hear mixed things from many other GP owners.

Any information would be great thank you!

Since you are in Long Beach I suggest you talk to Jan at RMW. There are stories about all tuners so take them lightly. Talk to Jan about your goals and see what he says and how you fell about the connection. I would plan multiple dyno runs with the tune so Jan (or whoever) can properly adjust the tune.

Not to knock the above post but when it comes to tuning I usually avoid non "brick and mortar" shops. The reason being is if something goes wrong you may not have any recourse.

Brick and mortar shops can be non responsive, they also go out of business, etc. Mario seems to have all positive reviews, never seen a bad thing said about him.
