Speed Density in Colorado

Are there any road tuners in Boulder/Denver area that does Speed Density tunes?

I think Carz, Tobz both do Speed Density tunes, but wanted to see if you guys know any lesser known competent tuners in the area.

Another vote for Christian at Pure Drive Performance, brilliant tuner with a great attitude and work ethic, he'll never give up until you have a perfect tune.

While I didn't have a terrible experience with Christian, I was a little put off with his antics a bit.

Long story short, he told me he would retune my car via Speed Density for 200 dollars after not able to fix the stalling issue (I already paid 300 or something like that already). Months later, I take him up on his offer, but he no longer remembers this.
Cool whatever, I understand that was a while ago so I show him a screenshot of our old text messages as proof.

Even though he relented and followed through on his word, he no longer replied to my texts in a timely matter. Sometimes it took days to respond, other times he would just flat out not respond to my texts.
I took that as a sign to look else where. Not a dig on Christian, he was a great dude to work with but that was off putting.

Christian hands down if you're in the area. He does great remote work as well.

If you're looking for a shop that isn't Pure Drive Performance, you can look at Tobz, like mentioned above. His tunes worked well on my car and I know that he's done a lot of speed density tunes. He is a dyno tune guy as well.

Christian at pure drive is awesome. Tobz has been hit at miss. He ****ed up my tune and has blown up more than a few motors. Usually not a good sign when the same customer cars sit outside for more than a year(s) in the same spot.
Good luck!

Yeah I've read some not so great things about Tobz which scares me.

Hmm I guess my choices are pretty slim. Nobody else does Speed Density for Evos?

I've had my Evo tuned for both pump gas and E85 at Tobz and both tunes were spot on. The thing that got me though was how the shop was operating at the time. It was only him and another younger dude working on what looked to be roughly 10 Evos in various states of repair/upgrade. Despite that he was a nice guy and he even let me sit in my car while he tuned it on the dyno.

Are you ultra apposed to e-tuning? Tom at TSCOMP is tuning my car and his tune is phenomenal, super smooth car. All be it we aren't done. He is a hard guy to get into contact with however, really busy.
