Default Recommend a shop in NJ?

I know a couple of you guys are from NJ, I was wondering if you guys could recommend a performance shop. I am on I-78 about 30 mins west of Newark. Anything nearby? Only looking for bolt-on stuff, nothing ridiculous.

Thanks

Bolt on stuff like intake/exhaust? I can name a few places depending on exactly what you're looking to have done

I'd say the consensus will be look no farther than these guys! Top notch work and LOTS of experience on the C7 platform. That's the issue many of us face now. There are great shops out there, but still not a lot of experience with the C7.

I have used ECS on my 2013 Camaro SS and couldn't be happier. I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I agree. ECS worked on my former 08. I owned that car for 6 years and had ECS work on it the first year and never had a single issue.

Doug and the crew at ECS are total professionals and when its time for my LT's and tune, I'm definitely calling ECS. They are the only folks besides my dealer who will ever touch my car.

I've used Cartek (central NJ), in the past for a host of jobs including H/C work and was very happy.

Another vote for ECS. I just got my 2014 A6 supercharged. The performance is awesome, but even more amazing is it drives like came from the factory this way. Not just off boost, even on boost the power delivery and shifts are smooth and controllable. I only have 4000 miles on car and bought it in May of 2014. So, I had complete confidence n doing this - even so early in warranty coverage.

Tune Time Performance has been associated with many of the fastest late model naturally aspirated Vettes ever to hit the pavement.

Stupid question for both of you guys. Do either of your shops tune for diablosport handhelds? (i know ECS sells, but not sure if you tune with it as well) I'm asking because i have the intune from my last car and want to use it again when I'm ready after the C7 gets some miles on her. I like the intune and want to use it again and would rather go local then do over the internet dataloging/tuning. Thanks for any replies.

PS hopefully by the time I'm ready they'll have TCM tuning ready too...

PSS I dont race and will only have bolt ons (if that makes a difference)
