Plugs are not hard to do once you get it down, in fact the whole car is pretty easy in my honest opinion. lol

Yes I agree these cars are really easy to work on. Sure the plugs take a bit of time, but its all very easy to work and really a great way to get to know your car if you haven't torn into it before.

Now that's funny. But what's the deal w/ plugs? You know I have a new 2004 factory engine and I think you said I DIDN'T need new plugs for my new EVOMit flash. ??

1 more benefit of going local...

Getting local support can really save on headaches. Even a simple task such as getting a flash can turn into a real pain if things don't go well. Whoever is close, reputable, and skilled can be a real resource when you need something out of the ordinary or simple help diagnosing a problem. This is especially true if you have can't be without your car for longer periods. (or simply don't want to be without it.)

A GOOD local shop with tuning expertise can take some stress out of the equation. With that said, you'll likely be happy whichever your decision.

I was very happy with Tony at EPL. He did some custom tuning and programming to my specification. I felt better knowing that he was in driving distance from my home. (The trip from MA to CT can be a nice one if not stuck in traffic.)

Speaking of IC's, they are just not efficient enough. Oh, these new hybrids just don't get enough fuel, hmm, new injectors....wait, the suspension can't handle all this power I need pss10's, hmmm, what about the brakes?

and it all started with, I just need a tune....

seriously, both have excellent rep, so enjoy whichever you decide on.
Wow, this post just saved me a bunch of money. I think I'm gonna stay stock for a while. Although that europipe stage 2 quiet sounds very appealing...

Care to explain the differences? And why you think it's better?

Not trying to give you a hard time, just trying to get some first hand opinions from someone who has had both....
