where to get tuned at (Bay Area)

Just installed my 3in. turbo-back exhaust and about to get some GSC S1 cams very soon. Where should I get tuned at? So far, I've came up with Works motor-sports @ Infineon raceway and FFTEC motor-sports in Union city. Anyone have any experience with these shops?

Mods are
3in. turbo-back
Intake
GSC S1 cams

Another vote for GST. My tunes from Bryan have been awesome! Well worth the 5 hour drive for me!

Yeah, I'm going to go with GST. Just read about their tuning tech and he seems like the person to go to.

Go to Full Function, they do great work. Works has gotten a bad rep over the past few years, I dont know if they have improved or not. I live about 35 min from Infineon but I would rather drive 1.5 hours to Full Function if that says anything about my hesitance to trust WORKS.

Hmm... I am going to give Works a call to do some maintenance on my car. Your post makes me wonder why, but I was highly referred by one of the other shops there which I personally know.

I took my car to FFTEC once and they are pro for sure. I will be back hopefully in the next few weeks.

Get tuned at GST or FFtec. Personally I go to GST cause, well, I've known them the longest.

What do you need done to your car? If your up in my area I have access to a lift so if you need something minor I might be able to help you out.
