Question SF Bay Area Tune Shops & Stores

Hello all! Just bought a 2008 Evolution MR over the weekend. It is such a fun car!

Can somebody recommend Evo specialty tune shops and stores in SF Bay area? I'd like to check out what are out there for my new toy. The car is still in break-in period and I'd like to take my time to figure out what to do to it.

I also got a 6 years/100K miles extended warranty. So I don't plan on doing any visible mods and void the warranty. Some ECU upgrades should be safe, right?

Thanks in advance.

David

How long (time and miles) have you had the mods? Have your cars been reliable? I don't plan on racing or auto-crossing with it, just some spirited drives.

I supercharged my 'Vette many moons ago. The car ended up in the shop more than in my garage. So I want to be careful this time around.

GST and Speed Element all the way...Trust me on this. I have been to the others and there is no comparison. If you want to check out a local forum www.evoempire.org is where all of the bay area evo people come and hang out.
