My suggestion is- go with a tuner that's close to you...

You will have to search through the forum and make up your mind. Any post telling you to go here or there may generate a "war" as there are many interests invlove as you understand. My advise is to do your homework and THEN send a few PM's asking for feedback.

Couldn't have said it better myself. It al based on budget and what you want out o fyour car. Look deep into a bunch of other forum threads, this is a huge decision so choose wisely! good luck man!

I always thought with this kind of power you had to upgrade the internals.

*exactly* - unless you have crazy needs (you can define crazy however you like), the best approach is to find someone reputable close that can fix things - b/c things will break.

i had protomotive, some things broke, and i realized it would be a lot easier if i just went w/ a system that was supported nearby; thus, sharkwerks...

Hey chuck thanks for the kind words... and the owner of the GT700 that just drove back to Vancouver over the weekend said the same thing as you. "I put some 94 in and.....". Why oh why do we have **** at the pump!

My friend has Protomotive's 750HP kit, and it is insanely fast, yet very docile, I would suggest you look into it. Furthermore Todd@Protomotive is a great guy, very easy to talk to and no nonsense guy.
Good luck

Whatever you choose to do, try to drive a car with the package you are looking to buy. Too much money at stake not to do due diligence, even if it means hopping on a plane. Most tuners can line up a test drive with a customer. Good luck, Kevin

I agree with Kevin, spend $200 on a plane ticket.. drive the car... it may be the best MOD money spent

Hehe looking at your avatar you already have the GT800 (the older one). I remember being in the booth for 2005 when we were displaying with EVO at the German AutoFest. They had that motor in the hall on display
