Default Turbo tuners in NC area

Repost from FI forum...

Hi guys,

Some of you have read that my tuner unexpectantly passed away recently and, although I feel guilty about it, I need to look for a new tuner to fill his shoes.

I am in the Winston Salem, Greensboro NC area and would like to keep the drive around 3 hours or less from here.

I just have a Greddy turbo which was originally tuned with stock exhaust at 275 whp, and 207 torque. I now have a 70mm dual Invidia V4 and HFC and would like to shoot for that 300 whp and 220 torque number.

I will be using the emanage ultimate and don't plan on changing any time soon, as I have had nothing but good experiences with how my car has ran so far.

Here is who I have contacted so far, but would love more options.

1. Phantasm Motorsports in Raleigh - Have heard BAD things about them
2. Top Speed Performance in Greenville NC - Any Comments??

Please chime in with whatever you have guys.

Thanks a lot!

Rich

I know the guys at topspeed and have nothing but good things to say about them.(they even use a pic of my car on their website) Most of the staff worked building and tuning Grand-AM race cars before they opened the shop.

I had some friends get some tuning done at TopSpeed (STi and a EVO) both were extremely happy the quality of the work as well as the new found power

Yeah, i saw your car on their website. That's awesome!! I contacted them and they said they could do it, but the emanage isn't my best tuning option. I just don't want to try to be persuaded into going stand alone. Way too much money for me and I don't think it's necessary at all with just a Greddy kit.

Has any one used National Speed in Wilmington? (nationalspeedinc.com)
They contacted me and said they use the emanage a lot and have tuned several turbod S2000s. One of the guys at the shop is building a turbo S right now.

Any thoughts on them or any other shop in NC?
