555 Motorsports Tune Review

Please post if your car was tuned by Matt.

If you liked your tune and why?
If you didnt like your tune and why?

Please be honest!

I could be not be happier with my tune. Huge difference from my prior protune. My car drives way smoother now, more like a jet fighter and not like a B52 bomber. The car has a nice big powerband even with my vf39. The car is way more enjoyable to drive daily. Boost does not feel like I hit a brick wall and before cruzin around town the car did not drive well, but up top it was fine which was my issue with my last tune. I asked Matt like a million questions and was more than happy to answer and explain what he was doing. Matt is honest and will tell you what works and what’s all hype. Super nice guy and if you have a issue he will not rest until its fixed while other guys just blow you off once they get your money. Matt honestly cares about his customers and takes his time to make sure everything is right and that is hard to come by.

Matt Keep up the good work!

Loved my tune. My car's drivability is a lot better, the power throughout the powerband is smooth. Nothing to complain about and Matt was a really nice top notch guy. He knows what he is talking about and not spewing out BS to get your $$. Thanks Matt!!

Overall experience: 10/10
During tune experience 9/10
After tune experience 11/10 ( Matt was more than happy to discuss what if's, and maybies, theroy modding if you will )

What I really got from Matt is that he is 100% there 100% of the time. He can easily multitask when it comes to organizing other people, but when you are asking him a direct question he will respond fully, instead of giving you bits and pieces. This is very important to me because I can't make descisions until I have the big picture.

The tune itself was everything I was expecting, I say this and not more than I was expecting because Matt lived up to the hype, which is not an easy thing to do. All my questions regarding the different parts I was using, how they would work together what what small things could be done to improve things were answered completely, and I came out of the experience more knoledgeable than when I went in.

Oh, and a big plus in my book for bringing your Dad along Matt. It seemed like he had a good time!

This is from Rico on nasioc since he is too lazy to post it here.

Very good tuner. Matt tuned my car yesterday, the car feels 100% smoother then before. My powerband with my tiny turbo is a whole lot bigger as well, I think it tapers about .5 psi at 7200rpm. He explains everthing he is doing in fine detail during the tuning process. Hell the man even cleaned my car down when we finished....lol (will post pix later..haha)

I would recomend him to any subaru owner.

Thanks everyone for the great reviews, it was awesome to meet everyone out there, and see some very nice cars.

Thanks again to Alain and Rico for organizing things and showing us around while we were out there.

I look forward to tuning more frequently out by you guys in the future and hope that all the future trips are just as good.

ENJOY YOUR TUNES!!!
