I'm not really sure how close they are to you, but REM is located in Margate. Tim is a good guy, I've spoken with him a few times. I'm sure they can help you out. Hope this helps.

That sucks. Well, then I'm out of ideas bud. I live in Jersey, couldn't tell you any others. I'm sure someone will chime in with some help for you.

Go to the Florida SVT owners site and look up Mark at Blue Oval Performance. I believe his handle is Nozebleedspeed. He is in the Jacksonville area. Heard good things about him.

Unable to link you to that site as it has been blackballed from here due to some problems in the past

Tim Barth at T&J Performance, in GA, is a good bet. He is tuning with SCT software, and has been putting out big numbers for awhile.

Willie Figueroa , the head Diablo chips engineer, is in Boca Raton Fl. Hell meet you at any dyno. If you could gather a group of guys wanting to tune it would be cheaper. I got 6 guys together and it cost me 250 bucks with a new revolution chip and 1 hour on the dyno.

You may want to consider just sucking it up and doing some driving. I have the MP on a stock block tuned by JDM in Jersey and have been quite impressed. I recently had the new SCT software installed by Jim and the truck ran 11's in high heat with just the front swaybar, and spare tire removed (slicks of course). I have taken the time to go to his shop in Freehold several times (not as far as you would have to go but....) and my truck has always ran great. Also consider one of the FFW events. They (JDM) may be able to take care of your needs then or even at a semi-private tuning event (check with a local Lightning/Cobra chapter). Or just call and see what they can do. Just my take, from my own positive experiences.

Some people love em, some people have horror stories. It's up to you to decide if you want to take the gamble that you'll wind up as one of the ones in the latter group.
