Default Conneticut/RI Tuners?

Looking for a good tuner in the southern CT or RI area, any suggestions?

In CT there is XXTuning. In MA try FFTEngineering (Edwin Foo). He works out of ESP (enhancedstreetperformance.com) in Sterling.

Edwins a good guy - known him since forever.

Also ICS are excellent. Really nice guys, good dyno, and a ton of standalone/UTEC etc mapping experience

here is my post from the FI forum on my choice of tuners

What i found was 50% of XX Tuning customers loved them... and 50% thought they were selling stolen parts, doing poor tuning jobs and to top it off.. their Top Tuner had left the shop and trained someon to do as good a job as him.. so that killed the first 50% for me.

CIP Motorsports had done 1 Greddy TT install and that was on a G35 Coupe, that and they told me i would have to bring it elsewhere to have it tuned, because they had never tuned a TT Z/G35c before..

I researched that MRC had been turning around Z's by the min.. NA, FI, they were doing it and doing it good. I never seen MRC's Facility, I never spoke to anyone from MRC.

I have spent a total of 10 hours, driving 3 different cars, not having my car for a total of 1 month with choosing MRC.. but you know what? i would rather know its being done right, than to know its some rookie or some shop who has never tuned or installed a kit on a Z expermenting with my car..

It really doesn't matter if a shop is next door, or 5 hours away, obviously my checking up can only do so much... if i knew how to intall the kit and tune the kit enough that i could check up everyday, i would have done the install and tuning myself.
