Question NJ Shop/Tuners - Iveytune vs. Turbotrix

Please post any good and bad feedback you may have if you've dealt with either of these NJ shops. I have a very lightly moded 06 IX and want to get to approx 400-450whp on 93 pump gas so I will be looking for someone who can best do a package deal, take care of all the parts install and final dyno tuning to reach my goals.

Thanks in advance with any info you have about these 2 shops.

I already see a trend ^^^ take the hint Iveytune... he will do it right, not charge you an arm or leg (he gives you upfront pricing not like other shops who say it will cost $100 and ends up costing $200), relyable, if you call/email him he answers 95% of the time (if hes not getting parts or picking something up) but will come back and actually call you, always willing to give his personal advise (always take it), best of all when its Race season he puts his customers first 100% of the time. He treats every car better then he does his own meaning he'll work on your car before he messes around with his. Best of all he will take his personal time that he does not have and help you. I had a problem with my car before I started to use him and he helped me out for over a hour. He his hands down no comparison for the other shops. Oh and he pretty much lives there... LOL, think he offers Church services on sundays

I have used Turbotrix, Pruven, and now ONLY IVEYTUNE.

IVEYTUNE HAS DONE for me:
Evo Green install w/supporting mods
Alcohol Kit
Currently doing a engine build.
Of course Tune also... (actually treats it like his car not doing a few pulls I've seen many many more pulls done then the average tuner to tweak it to 100% satisfaction not just doing a quick tune to get the next car on)

Other problems I've seen with "other" tuners/shops:

never answer the phone, cocky, not willing to get advise just looking to make money, their techs work on the cars not the master mechanics, not relyable (make excuses to cover their mistakes), own cars break at the track, put their racing before you. Best is when I took my already built engine apart I saw the truth to their excuses. Shop tuners really dont care even thou you get the impression they do.... just in it for the quick $$$


Sean is a strait shooter in the game becuase he truly loves what he is doing, a no bs guy... oh yeah he likes "Red Stripe"

Sean is a really upfront person; just like many previous posts have stated.

Your car will be in good hands at Ivey Technologies.
