What's the "etc etc etc"? I want to know that part! haha

I've always heard of Cobb and RRE and they seem to me to be the major tuning shops, because I don't know who's "bigger" than them.

I was hoping to find smaller indy shops that some of you guys may know of. Massimo is a new one that I haven't heard of, so may check them out.

Appreciate the responses!

Road Race Engineering. I consider them as the dealership for my Evo VIII, drive train fluids and 60K service. Visit the RRE sub-forum for partial list of prices and service, http://www.socalevo.net/forums/69-Road-Race-Engineering

Arizona shops and tuners

Hello All,

I just picked up a WW EVO X MR here in the Phoenix area.

What's the best EVO shops out here these days? I already have the bolt-ons and tune, but I will likely be looking for more power down the road. I did a search on here but the posts are kind of old now. I prefer to stay away from Vivid Racing, due to prior issues. I'm in the Chandler Gilbert area.

Let me know if you have any feedback from recent experiences.

Thanks.

Contact Phoung at Wingz Performance. He does most of the evos around here in AZ. He is located in Chandler. Does great work and is a really good guy. Also check out AZAWD.org
On the site you can also see many reviews for Wingz Performance in the vendor section.
Wingz is having a dyno day this Saturday the 28th over at AZ Dyno Chip. Anybody is welcome to come. You can find more info about it on AZAWD.org in the vendor section under Wingz Performance.

Ok, thanks. Why is Wingz website so sucky? It doesn't even show their address or anything about them. You know the cross streets or anything?

He does it as his second job. So him and his tech do it out of his house. Located by alma school and chandler heights. He is legit though. Has done many big builds. And his prices are good.

I have a ralliart with the sst. I just recently got a turbo swap and tune with Wingz and my car and sst feels great. He knows that you have to be careful with the sst and adjusts how he tunes cars with them.

Yeah I thought about it before I got the Rad full. I got a good deal on the rad and I wanted the same spool speed as stock, along with it still looking stock.
