rpm doesn't even have a dyno, they use rct's dyno.

RPM/DRT
Bunch of ricers that don't even know what they're talking about. The only play with civics, integras and other cheap beaters. When I was shopping around for tuning prices, they kept insisting that I use other EMS when emanage has had great success with 2g tls stating that it works on their civics or such. Plus, logic tells me that if RPM doesn't even have a dyno... how much tuning work do they even get done. Yes they can do it on the street... but it's kinda stupid to do a gear 4 pull up to redline on the highway.

i can vouch for NRG tech racing. chris miller owns it and he has a shop car that runs under 9 seconds, its a civic. its a huge honda shop. if i were to trust anyone, i would trust them since they do hondas all time. not to mention chris does all the tunes they have

stay away from RPM, i heard so many bad things

You can't judge a shop by its one car. I went to swift motorsports in CT which has done MANY supras / skylines and they fucked up my tune so bad. It was basically retarded dyno pulls that could've blew my motor.
