Experienced tuner in PA

Anyone have experience with good tuner for our cars in the Philly area? Thought about using FA20 club but I think I would prefer a local guy who I can easily get in contact with.

Thanks for the suggestions. Anybody with first hand personal experiences? What you have done and what kinda gain? I'm solely looking for a tuner, no installers needed. Thanks!

This is stock tune vs 93oct dyno tune that Mike from Moto-East did. Mods Perrin Lightweight Pulley, Intake Silicone Tube, Drop-in Air Filter. You can see it makes almost 20 more hp up top.

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Just to clarify, I know you said Mike at Moto-East, but the dyno chart says R/T Tuning?

Yea. I got tuned at R/T Tuning Shop, but Mike was doing the tuning. We borrowed their dyno.

I see, thanks. Would you mind letting me know how much it cost? I meet you at the Deptford mall for the Top of The Trop meet btw. I had the other BRZ with Rally Armors.

definitely Mike at Moto east. i got 192 peak hp and he flattened the torque curve nicely. added 13 ft lbs of torque at 4000 rpms. i already had borla headers, k&n, and muffler delete before he tuned it. gained 10 peak hp with the tune to my existing mods

Another vote of Mike 2 Moto-East. He provided a safe tune for my Phantom Supercharger.
