Many different options, check out the southern California evo website. Google "Socalevo" (don't want to post the website here because it might break some stupid rule)

Short answer road race engineering or tuning technologies would be a good bet... But you can always find people with negative things to say about either of those 2 shops. Mostly positive though...

Other option most would recommend will be a remote email tune from tscomptuned a vendor on this forum. Problem is you need a wide band gauge and a tactic cable and a laptop and some ability in ecuflash to change the tune yourself. (A lot of work on the customer end).

+1 on Road Race. Real stand up guys. Been going to them for tuning for over 5 years now. Engine makes loads of power and stays together doing it.

RRE is fine if you don't mind going to a shop that has never been cleaned, ever.

Although I have no personal experience with this shop, I heard good things about KT Motoring in the San Fernando Valley, which may closer to you.
I have been to Tuning Technologies in Colton and Road Race Engineering in Whittier, and they are both good shops.

RRE was good to me with my last car, but right now KT is more convenient and the tuning and support is fantastic.

I kind of feel like RRE is more jaded because of years of deadbeats who come to them with neglected piles of garbage. RRE will still take great care of you when you need it, but I feel like KT is more welcoming and enthusiastic.

Either way, lucky to have both shops nearby.

KT is where my Evo is. I trust Khiem with my car (and I have seen a few places you can't trust).

RRE is good, but Santa Fe Springs is a haul from LA.
