Default NoVA Tuners?

Can't not sure what happened to Function Tuned. Who else is good at tuning and working on Zs in Northern Virginia?

Thanks in advance!

Mike

Thanks guys. I am Reston, Virgina buy the way. Looking to have some test pipes installed, intakes and dyno re-tune. nothing major. Also would love for the tuner to be able to do regular maintenance service as well but htat's secondary.

Winchester is about and hour away maybe more, not so bad. I thought there was a tuner in Tysons Corner of Tyco? at one point - not so sure...

Thanks again.

You should look for an Uprev pro tuner (a requirement basically), there's a pro-tuner list on the website uprev.com.

That was a cool tip - thanks. Unfortunately Function Tuned was the closest Uprev pro tuner (go figure) and the next closest one is Hills. I guess I will just go to the dealership for a service (service soon light is on '07), then buy the parts I want online, then find some garage to install them for me, then take a ride up to Hills for some dyno time - wish it could be easier.

Thanks again.

Im sure Frank Hill (Hills Garage) could order the parts/install/tune for you. cut down on a lot of time/back and forth.

Came to the same conclusion. I set up an appointment with Hills. Doing some general service work, simple bolt on mods and dyno tune. Earliest available was end of May. At least that will give time for Fast Intentions to fabricate my pipes and get them over there.

Also, Big Thanks for the local service tip!! I will definitely use them.

Oh man I'm sold and thoroughly confident. I have spoken to Suzanne a couple of times now - what a Rock Star. Really looking forward to the date.

Thanks for the advice.
