Long Island Tuner Shop?
Hi Guys,
I posted this in the general section, maybe I will have better luck here.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Heya All!
Does anyone have first-hand experience with a tuner shop on Long Island/NY/NJ that they would HIGHLY recommend? Work along the lines of TT and forged internals, tuning, etc
Also, does anyone have any first-hand experience with MRC Motorsports in Spotswood, NJ?
Thank you :~)
Frankie

My car is currently in Performance Motorsport's shop in E. LI. Check out their website at theexperience.com Give them a call. The master mechanic has 20+ years experience rebuilding engines.

i will be running out of the box boost ~6.8psi, 400rwhp, stock internals, tilton clutch & flywheel setup. this is much safer than running something else at a higher boost to produce the same whp. i should be getting it back on saturday--i'll let you know what I think of it then.
ya might also want to check this thread out:

If you insist....
I was a customer of theirs before they got into the hardcore racing. It was a very friendly and customer oriented shop. I eventually had a problem with some work they did and brought it back to get fixed. I was told 2-3 weeks because they're racing team is a priority. I as a customer find that attitude unexceptable from a place that i have spent thousands of dollars at. The situation should of been handled better and I will not be using them for anything again. If you want to know specifics PM me. They were a sponsor here for a short time, do a search and read about the contest they ran.

I drove their Vortech Z a couple of years ago I guess. Seems like a great shop, however they wanted 12K for Vortech, exhaust, Headers. That was a little steep at the time. I might go back and see what they want for a Turbonetics+ install. They must charge a TON for the JWT. Like 15k??

I understand what some of you are saying about PM.... Management has changed, Yes They are dedicated to racing... They have established a Retail division to the shop... That was not addressed back in the day.... Pricing is no where as high as it used to be... I think they are on par with most professional shops today... The JWT kit is far far less than 15k installed... I also agree 12k is rediculous as well for a Vortech, headers, and exhaust..
Not saying things were perfect back then... Management is different as well as pricing...
