Default Nearest/best place to get tuned?

Im located in NM so im not to sure where to go? Some people say arizona, some say texas, others say colorado. I want to start looking into it since now since i have almost all of the parts. The thing is, im probably going to trailer the car since im going to install all parts to keep costs down. What would any of you recomend. I plan to be tuned with the following mods:

Current mods:
TBE
UP
Ported stock manifold
Perrin short ram
UTEC
TXS FMIC (not installed)
Walboro Pump (not installed)
xxxcc injectors (would like to consult with tuner for size before ordering)
TD05-20G (yet to be ordered)
SMC Alcohol Inj Kit (yet to be ordered)

I know the 20g is really going to be pushing it on the 205 so i would really like someone that knows what they are doing. Thanks in advance!

I am going to get **** for this, bit here it goes. My vote goes to AZ. Kingpin or Dynocomp. Not much else to say besides I think they can do the job, and do it well.

yeah you might get ***** but not from the guy who you are recomending to go there. If you go to AZ and you go to King Pin or Vivid you will be very happy. I have done business with both and have met and talked with numerous people who have done the same and all of us will be going back. I am getting tuned in about a month and I will be going to one of them. I also heard and this part may be 100% wrong but.. I read in another thread that Kingpin was actually using Dynocomps Dyno.... It would be cool if someone could clarify that cause I too would like to know.

That is not true. We use a company called AZdynochip. We've used them for sometime now.

Did Kingpin use Dynocomps dyno in the past? I'm friends with Adam Romero (adamrmr/blacksti), and he was telling me once that he was one of the first STi's to be tuned on Dynocomps dyno, but Clark did the tuning. Just wondering. So far it looks like im going to AZ.

Ya from what I know I think they used it a long long time ago. But not now and I also hear clark doesnt tune anymore so..... its call around and judge the tuners knowledge and whoever comes on top is your tuner.

Dyno Comp wont touch u-tec because they arent very acurate once you get off the Dyno there is better systems out there for less money,+1for Mynes or Rich look up Marion at Surge for Cobb Pro tuner he very good as well.

What do you people think of Mac Autosport (www.macautosport.com) in colorado? Has anyone dealt with them? Oh and by the way, new setup is going to be a FPGreen(ewg) instead of the 20g. Snaps!

I have tuned at Dynocomp, vivid and AZdynochip may times. I prefer the Mustang dyno at vivid. Now that the new software is out for the Mustang it is my favorite. It also has a direct mechanical connections between the rollers so there is no chance of Trans or Diff damage. All of the dynos have pros and cons. As always I am available for tuning services.
