Smile I need a good tuner in the SF area...
Hey,

I need a reputable tuner in the SF area and am willing to go down as far as San Jose for the right place. I can't seem to find anyone beyond a kid with a dyno and a computer. Can you guys reccommend someone that has real experience tuning and doing tune-ups on cars that hit the track. I race my car and need a tune-up and additional work done. Thanks!

-RT

I'll ask the obvious question: Is this a Subaru race car or something else. I have different tuners I like for different things.
All of the previously mentioned shops have excellent reputations with Subaru

Some of the tuners in the area have nearly 10 years of experience with Subarus (myself included). Do some research, check out some reviews, make some phone calls, and pick one of us that you like.

Thanks

I have quite a few subaru friends here in sacramento and between us we've used all the shops here in northern california. Ive heard a lot of stories and personal opinions. With that being said i highly recommend Ed over at EQ Tuning!

I've been happy with my 91oct tune from Ed for 5 years now. I also have a 100oct tune that kicks like a ****! I rarely use it anymore though

Anyone who asks the "which tuner" question, should be banned for a week.
