Seeking a performance tuning shop in New England

[John F. Russo]

I live in eastern Mass. and would like to query the MM community whether thay have found some one who can do tunings.

Go to Outlaw Dyno right on Rt. 140 in Hopedale. He said he's tuned a few MM's with blower's too. Right there, it's good enough for me.http://www.outlawdyno.com/contactinformation.html

[John F. Russo]

Thank you all for the help. I will evaluate the options and let everyone know what happens.

Hi John. Dez is real good. New England Dyno in Douglas is real good. There's a place in the Hartford CT area all the guys on SVTPerformance.com rave about. I'll get his info later. Dez has done most of my son's buddies' cars, results are good. New England did a bunch of the "old timers" here when they were in Worcester. Maybe some of them will chime in.

We had The Blackbird done at New England Dyno and Tuning when they were in Worcester, but it was actually Jerry Wroblewski who did the tuning.

This is the shop in East Hartford. Like i said, the SVT guys rave about him.

Not everyone wants to drive into another state to get their car tuned...

No Flames intended but we're talking about New England. About 35 miles difference Reading to Seekonk or Reading to East Hartford. Just setting options for John. Knowing him, I'll bet he researches all avenues.

You're right!

I travel to see customers in New England most of the time. And I wouldn't mind going to Hartford which is about 1.5 hours away from my home.

So I would be willing to go that amount of time if the speed shop is definitely better. So I'll study the ideas everyone has given me above; then I'll call them to discuss what I want and see what experience they have.

I want them to check my tune and boost gauge accuracy.

Anything else my fellow Kenny Brown owner's?

I'll let everyone know what happens.

Thank you--to 'you all'.
