Tuners in so cal area

I have an 06 evo 9 I'm looking to get tuned here shortly. Looking to get some recommendations/reviews on some shops that you guys use/have used. I'm currently considering RRE or JRPPerformance. I'm just sticking with basic bolt on's. 3" TBE w/ test pipe, injen intake and intercooler piping, AMS front mount, 3 port bcs, aem 350 or walbro 450 fuel pump, haven't decided on injectors yet.
I'm kind of central ca and wouldn't be opposed to going north or to Nevada. Most reviews of everywhere are older and like all shops they have mixed reviews just looking to get some of your experiences

I like Sam at RRE because he's not only a tuner, but a mechanic as-well. How this helps is that when things are off mechanically, he knows how to fix the problem before completing the tune.

Yeah, Sam has really gained in experiece over the years. Likely one of the best (not just So.Cal)

Current dual dune was done by RRE

But on a side note: Have seen some interesting, good comments about JRP / 5150

I’ve had tunes done by SpeedElement in San Jose, and most recently KT Motoring in Chatsworth. I recommend both. Good luck.

Right there. I've been tuned previously by 2 other tuners and Sam is by far the best. The previous tuner believed I wasn't maintaining fuel pressure at WOT, turns out the MAF was the culprit and Sam figured out. His experience wrenching on DSMs and Evos comes in handy should unforeseen problems pop up.

Thanks for the input, I'm more than likely going to go with RRE
