Either RRE (Road Race Engineering) or Tuning Technologies. RRE has the most experience between the two with the 4G63 and just got a AWD Dyna Pack.

Don't look to the northern nevada area for any tuning as there aren't any awd dynos. I would look to the bay area (where I have gone) suggesting speedelement or gst motorsports.

i acctually went to cobb already.. things didnt work out and my car actually ran worse then before i took it there.. so i hate to make it sound like they are crap cause i have friends that had good tunes from them but didnt go so well on mine because my fuel system is all after market i dono what the prob was they dont work on cars either

rre is definitely the shop you should take your car. They have the most experience and been doing dsm the longest on the westcoast. They also have scot gray, a very renowned tuner. Do a background check on them over at www.socalevo.net and give them a call, you will see what I talking about.

And MY OPINION of tuning tech with your aftermarket fuel system is a definitely no no

Road Race is the place to go. I had all my work (all bolt-on's plus cams, head studs, valvetrain) and it was done flawlessly. Scot Gray tuned my car for pump and 100 oct and I have never had an issue.
