Looking for tuning shop recommendations

It seems that in the Mid-A most of the shops are specialized in one area - whether that be specializing in Super Chargers alone or just Turbos. From what I've read it sounds like there are some shops coming into the full-on tuning scene (with the introduction of a S2000 EMS), but nobody has made a huge name for oneself yet with S2000 owners.
Although each local shop does great in their area of expertise, you're probably going to be doing a little experimenting yourself and that's where S2Ki will be a good friend.
Maybe if you posted your exact goals people may be able to help further because right now it sounds like either a turbo or SC is going to work. BUT - is a 300+ hp Super Charger going to be enough for you? If not, then a turbo is the obvious answer.
How are you trying to couple handling with the added power? You're just driving on the street, so there are tons of options and without getting serious on the track there are tons of affordable options. But if you plan on sticking with one tuning shop, you are going to be limited to only the products they carry......not to say that there isn't a local shop that carries everything you could possibly want.
A few more specifics and the answers will come
There are a whole bunch of heavily modified street cars in the Mid-A, so be confident that you will receive some decent advice.

I would definantly check out:
Evolution Autosports on Rt. 50
They seem to do a little bit of everything, and if they can't do it, they can send you to someone who can.

thats the other website. all of the shops listed are great shops for any s2000 work in this area. i'm sure you can find what your looking for by stickin to the boards and maybe giving some of these shops a call
