I'll be needing one in the spring too. So I'm interested in hearing some reviews as well.

The shops I've heard of so far are:

Doug Rippie Motorsports ( dougrippie.com)
DB Peeformance (dbtuning.com)
Hi Tech (hitechmotorsports.com)

I vote for Ronnie at RS Motors. He's tuned 3 of my cars so far. Very happy with every result.

I've heard good things about TPIS, too.

Shibbs, I saw your sig and gave them a call about some baseline dyno pulls before modding up but no answer:(. How much did you pay for your tune out there?

I used him for a few months but the tune was really tame compared to what I wanted.

I will say, I've heard bad and good stories from all the places here in MN.
