Out of all Bay Area shops, the only thing all of us can agree on is that Newtech is the worst shop in the bay...

have heard a lot of stories too, that's why when I get supercharged I'm going over to Rick at synergy motorsports to get dyno tuned

Synergy Motorsports - Rick (owner) has a stellar rep as a top notch builder and tuner.

Word of caution- a friend of mine had work done by blu808, and had numerous problems after. He went to Synergy to have them resolved. Sounds like others have had good luck with blu808, just passing along what I've heard.

Just trying to help out with my $.02

Nick owns Newtech, but they have had quite a few horror stories. The tuner,josh moved on and opened his own shop. I would stay away fromNewtech....

good price on spring install, a tad high on the alignment...

Just got back from Synergy (Rick) today, and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed with the end results.. I wont go anywhere else... I have posted the tune results in a thread today.

Firestone does lifetime alignment on your vehicle for a one time $150. I have all my vehicles on the lifetime, and get it done after every oil change.

Rick knows his tuning. When I had a G6X3 cam he had the tune so dialed in i could drive 55mph in 6th gear without surging. Anyone with this cam knows how impressive that is.
