Silly Porter, that's not Mid-A, but of course you'd have to give them a plug.

Just FYI, Phil at Element uses the dynojet at Altered Atmosphere for the dyno portion of his tuning, and obviously, this would locate him in Gaithersburg if you went that route.

I got tuned at Xotic by Andy. Awesome tuner! I have a UTEC, but I'm pretty sure Andy can tune ANY kind of EM for just about every car ever made. My brother is taking his DSM out with me next time I head out there.
I have a strong stance against the SBR shop. There are plenty of documented cases where they've destroyed vehicles on and off the dyno, and a couple of bikes too. Nate seems to be the only reputable person there and the only person to consider trusting with Suby's. |

well, there is a local shop here in VA called DeltaV that i posted. theyre located downtown Richmond on boulevard near velocty motorcycles and river city tattoo etc...
but i would amke an extra effort to go up north to MachV or something i mean i know of more people who have dealt with MachV then DeltaV as far as subarus go. |
