Hey all, just got a 03 Sonic Blue about a month ago, and I am looking for a tuner near the Tampa Bay area to do some work on my Baby..I know that Hermann is in the middle of settling down in this city, but I wanted to hear other options - if there are any!

I used to have a completely warmed-over 93 Red Cobra with a Procharger on it that was solely worked on by Dan Flowers at Idle Wild racing in Largo. Unfortunately, he has folded it up after a very successfull career (He went out while 'on top'), and now that I am back in the game, I need someone else to establish a good relationship with...

So tell me: Who do ya trust?

Thanks, and hopefully I'll see some of you at Orlando this weekend...

Give James at Racerelated.com a call: 727-561-9440
I tried for weeks to get my car tuned calling multiple shops multiple times (Coastal included). I was referred to Racerelated by a member of another site.
I gave tham a call and had an apointment set up that weekend.
Check out need2speed.com, do a search, or if you register, ask about them in a post. You will hear nothing but good things.

I have heard that Sam at Coastal also does an excellent job, he is almost impossible to get ahold of though.

Coastal...

+7 for Sam @ Coastal. He has done all of my work. When I called Ramsey's, they told me I would NEVER get 600+ through stock exhaust manifolds and cats. They also wanted a GROSS amount of money for a KB install with supporting mods. Sam took GREAT care of me, and I am more than happy with what he has done with my car!!
