Where in MN are you, near the cities? Also, what are you getting tuned (RRM piggy, etc.)?
There are a couple shops around, the ones I have experience with are RS Motors in Burnsville and Modern Automotive Performance in Plymouth (they are a vendor on here, and was actually the shop that built my turbo kit). My experience with both has been great.

I'd recommend checking out www.mnsportcompacts.net. The mods may move this thread to the regional forums...

I never had my N/A piggy (RRM's version 2) tuned beyond RRM's base map. But, for my turbo piggy, it was tuned at MAP by Jordan. I couldn't get a totally complete tune, as my clutch slipped right at the Mivec switchover, but up until then I was at 235hp and tq at 5psi. However, I digress...the tune I drove away with and have currently, I'm happy with it; smooth torque curve and good drivability. Come this spring, new clutch and 8-9psi...

Moved to the proper section.

Your best bet is to find a local car club and see where they go for tuning if you want to stay local.

Mods to do

This spring I intend to get the RRM UDP, RRM piggyback and the sway bar and perches. I want to have the shop put on the parts, through it on the dyno and get it tuned. I just want the shop that has experience with the RRM products and who knows how to use the software for the Piggy. So any suggestions would help a ton.

P.S. Thanks Raven for the help already.
