have you considered remote tuning? ... pm touringbubble (on here and evoatlanta.com)... great guy.. he has done both my tunes for both of the evo's i've owned.... he's located in AL

topspeed is also another local shop who does tuning...
and zen motorsports is another shop... but i don't know if they do in house tuning...

evoatlanta.com has good info... as well check it out

not sure if dyno4mance is still around... but i've heard they have a good tuner...

Ya I just had them do a tune/reflash the stock ecu. Tuned for just the TBE and TP, clutch and flywheel came later and found out it came with a walbro afterwards while digging around.

Car layed down 225 on initial pull and finished with 251. Driveability is much better and beat on it at Road Atlanta in March with no problems (other than me over driving).

a flash and a custom tune are 2 different things, it seems like you need a "tune" correct?

also, depending on how far they are away, just go to both shops in person (or call) and see which one seems better to you (customer service, shop cars, tools, prices etc). You will get personal opinions on everything, and most people who talk are just going to hate. what kind of upgrades are you doing?

I had a crappy tune from Forged. Top Speed re-dyno'd tuned the car and made a much safer tune with more torque and a little more power. On the baseline tune Top Speed told me my car had 12 counts of knock!!!!!!! But after Doug worked his magic the car runs great. Also I got lied to about purchasing parts from Forged. When I caught them in the lie they back pedaled real fast. I refuse to support Forged! Touringbubble is also someone I would recommend.

Good luck with your decision, just my 2 cents and personal experience.
