That's what I figured. I already looked into the Firestone in Totem Lake and they won't let me, so I was hoping that maybe another site would be more lenient.

Yeah Les Schwab was a no go in my area. I'd try asking in a local auto X/drifting group.

Searching for a shop capable and willing to press out oem bushings and weld in solid diff riser bushings, would also include notching/reinforcing subframe.

Please let me know if you have had any good experiences!!
Chase race in Duvall. Or truline. Both solid options

Thank you! I was about to just start calling around and see who would help, but Chase Race actually looks like a pretty good option!

Not really a forum person. But I'm interested in finding a shop that can tune a Jackson racing supercharger on my car. I have headers installed. I wanted to get the tune it yourself kit and take it somewhere. Who is best for that in the area? I'm a helicopter mechanic and I think I have the charger install covered. But when it comes to the computer shit I don't have any support. Would I need to trailer my car to said shop? I live in Salem and there just seems to be shops in Portland or Eugene. Which is best for my setup?

Bob at drift office is a great option, I had him tune my NA brz.
I had the chance to walk around and talk with the owner of PSI in Hillsboro a couple years ago as well, those guys would be a great option that is much closer. Very impressive facility, dyno booth you can watch trim the lobby as well.

Your asking a shop to learn a new platform for 1 or 2 cars when every other car uses ecutech. I think your better off with getting in touch with shiv and sending him logs and to do an etune

FTW tuning in Eugene does open source tuning for the ft86 platform. They can also tune with OFT and Ecutek, but prefer open source for N/A and OFT for F/I. Going to get my open source N/A stage 2 tune from them next Monday.
