Any good tuners in the NC/VA area?

I'm tired of having a stock evo x and would like to take it to a good tuner. Preferably someone who isnt going out of business and has been in bussiness for a while with a good reputation with other evo owners. Thanks for the help.

I would go to Infinite Speed and Performance in Beltsville or LMS. Both shops have good reputations. ISP is a REALLY good shop and they do an assortment of cars not just evo's which I think is a good trait to have. It shows that you understand how cars work in general not just one car.

FYI we do have a tuner and can road tune, we just don't have a dyno. We have been in business since 1987 and work on all Japanese cars for service/repair/performance. We do mostly mitsu's for performance. If you want to dyno tune then CBRD lets us rent the dyno for our tuner. Its a drive to CBRD but the ride is worth it!!

DTM in VA. Mustang dyno and the best tuner in the area. No road tuning, no BS. Look up Evo Dominator 2. They have done alot of work on the X, not many other shops even have a X and they have one they RR.

I've heard great things about DTM. They live right next to my girlfriends place and have visted their shop a couple of times. Looks great. They will be working on my cars in the future.

So after all these recommendations DTM is still the only one with a X, dyno, and can tune them and well. Plus they are in VA. Seems easy right?

CBRD has a X, a dyno, and will shortly have the software. Chad is certainly capable of tuning a X well also! When I chimed in about us, I didn't see that it was a X at first and just wanted to clarify that we do have a tuner.
