Any recommended shops in the area to perform this work. I really don't want to make the haul to Michigan. I heard of two shops J&D performance in PA and Ultimate Performance in Dulles Va I think that's the name. Also what's the general price for this type of work?

Nate take your time and learn your new car and it's habits. Adding a 3.0 pulley and more boost is fun, but you just got the car and I know you are not looking to have it in and out of the shop. Enjoy the summer and fall. If you need a used stock motor I will have one for sale next month.

Excessive Motorsports does top quality work and has tuned a number of marauders. They are located in Manassas VA

It depends on bad you what the best! I'm driving 12 hours for the best from Atlanta. When I was younger the best took on a different form. Times change you.

There is only one.

His name is Lidio and can be found in Detroit.

If I had to do all over again, I'd change alot of things about the modding I've done. Driving to Lidio to have his crew install the 3.0 pulley and dyno tune is not one of them.

The man wrote the book on this subject.

Costs of dyno tunes are generally in the $400-$600 range, depending on number of tunes to be stored in your XCal-2. You might want to ask Lidio, who did your X-Cal tune according to your signature, if his tune can be overwritten. Some tuners do not allow this and thus you have to purchase a new tuner.

Ask Lidio to email you a tune then have the AF ratio checked at a bung.

J&D performance in PA

Did you mean JD's Performance near Philly? If so then I can vouch for them since they were able to get a decent tune in my car so I could drive it after getting it back from florida. They even took me in on a saturday as an emergency and spent the day getting the mess sorted out. I left with the car putting out 435rwhp and 404rwtq. They use SCT software for tuning.

If you must stay local then they are a safe bet. If at all possible you really should consider making the trek out to Detroit and see Lidio!

You'll enjoy. The ride out here (I'm in Detroit for WDC) is a good one!
