STM tuned....my car is actually fun to drive now

Well, yesterday I made the trip to STM from Pittsburgh for a 60k service and a tune from Emery. All I can say is I am so happy. Beforehand the car drove like shiat and I could never get on it or it would fall on its face. They also solved my rough idle issue which Ive been troubleshooting for the past month by doing an egr delete. Emery also was able to detect my forge mbc was garbage and swapped with a hallman (If you have a forge, throw it in the trash). I was having issues with controlling boost. The car is so smooth to drive and its a blast to drive now. I just wanted come on here and share my experience and that I would highly recommend them. I will be back with new cams,springs and retainers, intercooler and new piping so we can put some numbers down.....Thanks again Emery and STM.

I've heard nothing but good things about STM. If I lived closer to them I'd definitely be going there!!

Been looking for a new shop to get some work done, STM is just to damn far from me in NJ.

I have heard nothing but good things about them.

STM is good with the mail order business too, they intercept threads about their parts providing guidance, and they have realistic customer service.

4 out of 4

I agree with their customer service being top of the line. I'm really looking forward to Emery tuning mine to E85 :-)

I wish I were closer as well. I mean Tom from Tscomp tuned my car and I have no complaints, but I would have went to Em if I were closer.
