Should've asked this in the Tri-State forum... EFI logics is pretty good if you want to make the trip up to Conneticut. Another thing you can do is get an AP or tactrix cable and buy a custom e-tune from Eric @ Torqued Performance

Precision does awesome work and is worth the drive. Ive been going there forever and ive never had any issues with my car whatsoever and cleo's tuning is amazing.
You can be sure your car will be done quickly and be done right. Plus the car will last, im at 65k with over 400whp and it still runs perfect. No complaints here

Go get jr to tune you. He is in nj at nightshift performance. He Is the only person, besides dave from rallispec, that I trust with my car. He tuned cars like subaru, gtr, that he owns, Ferrari, that he owns, and lambos. So ya he knows what he is doing.

Tell him paul send you. And the guys at nightshift are great guys too.

ECS Performance - http://www.eastcoastswappers.com/main/

the ONLY shop i would let touch mine in NE. the owner, Paul - was trained in Germany at the Porsche factory, then trained in Japan @ subi hq. with a cobb DP - ECS got me to 335whp @ 18Psi. amazing feel. they are very reasonable. DM me for discount info.

They really only work with subaru's but they have been known to tune Evo's, Supra's, RX7's ect...this shop came from a Subaru ONLY base. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

When you find your tuner, ask him. For now stock is probably fine. Stage 2 nearly maxes them though.

This is the question you A) Ask BEFORE you do a lot of work to your car B) Ask in your LOCAL/REGIONAL forum.

Why would he drive from Central NJ to go to this shop when there are MANY highly capable tuners and better shops much closer to him?

Precision Tuning is way overpriced on just about everything and they try to sell you or convice you that you need certain products when in fact you don't. I went there for an estimate to and see what I needed to hit 350 whp. They quoted me at $7.5k. Made the drive to Akuma for a second opinion. Walked away with a deal of $4.5k. Saved me $3k and John got me the whp I was wanting.
