Camp Lejeune/Jacksonville Evos (NEW)
Great question, also why not National speed, or that majestic place or whatever its called. Why not there?
Majestic is garbage I have had three of my marines go there an they had more problems with there cars. One of them was sold parts that they didn't need when all there problems was a maf. The other guy drove less then a block down the street an the motor broke to find a bolt had fell down inside the block. So with that said I have heard nothing but horror stories.

Yes they do, but like I said, it has to be scheduled and they only come down once a week. Usually in the evening time frame, which works nicely for our work schedules.
I prefer force fed. At the time I started my modding the evo owners in the area preferred force fed as they were already established. Justin is an awesome dude and will tell you straight if you can get a better deal somewhere else or if something isn't a good idea. Plus Babi has been tuning evos for years plus other models.
To not start an argument or hurt feelings I will leave past comments from other owners aside by using the name Jim. Jim is a X owner here in jville. He took his car to spec ops for a tune, great so far. His graph looked decent given the mods he had but the kicker. His clutch started slipping after leaving the parking lot. There is no way the tuner didn't realize this in the rollers. Now I'm not finger pointing but things do happen to cause clutch slip and the shop shouldn't be held responsible. But for the tuner to not have the courtesy to tell him "hey dude your clutch can't handle the power and is slipping" is pretty jacked up in my opinion. I drove Jim's car the next day and it was slipping hardcore as ****. Plus I didn't appreciate the guy from spec ops trying to sell me amsoil when myself and another guy were merely talking about how national speed sells it and are only 45 minutes away. I could clearly see they sold amsoil, and don't want to buy it.
National speed is great but a bit pricey. They don't specialize per se on any model but do stand by their work (as every shop should). Aside from price they are closer and have an awesome shop with friendly people. I am not sure how familiar their tuner is though where as you have countless evos tuned by force fed.
The only other shop I would go to is HIS motorsports in hickory NC. That's 5 hours away so if you would go that far I could tell you a bit. Great shop, great people, and kasey knows his **** with Evos.
Everybody mother ***** every other shop. It happens but I prefer force fed. Great people, great service (I mean **** they stayed open on a Saturday for me from 10am to 9ish just for my car). I have had beers with the force fed guys the night I met them and from the start I have nothing but great things to say.

I had National Speed work on 2 of my cars. They are ****. There "tuner" tuned the car under an hour, they only fixed the air to fuel ratio, I had a piggy back system on the ecu, it still ran too rich and the car kept shutting off. Also they installed gauges and a pillar, it looked like a blind 2 year old installed it. They have horrible customer sevice. But that is just my 2 cents.
