This is the info I found on the internet regarding GPTUNING. Quite limited info would scare me. gpxtuning@gmail.com 650-302-1574.

Synergy Motorsports at least has an address. http://store.synergymotorsports.net/default.asp

Why not send it to Vengeance if that is who you really want to deal with?

Small price to pay if your perception is that they are the best for the job on your 100K car that you are about to drop more money into. There are people in CA that can sell you the parts , install them and tune them but it seriously looks like what you want is to have vengeance build your car so why let shipping fees get in the way.

I shipped my car to Katech and had them build it. Now that it's back all of the service is handled by Richie at Abel. I've had zero problems and after reading this thread I'm glad that I chose to go that route!

JRG Motorsports does the installs/repairs and GP Tuning goes there to tune it. I just drop my car off and pick it up. Having a big name like vengeance doesn't mean their cars are any better than a local place. Turtle wax has a big name too but their stuff is ****

I do 95% of mine own work but I would trust Able, JRG/GP, or synergy with my car.

Josh and Adam are installing my blower & exhaust (as I type), and Matt will be tuning it this afternoon. I did my research, and I'm very excited!

It's a very modest shop, so be advised. If you're wanting a Vengeance or LPE type shop, this won't fit your bill. But if you want fair prices and solid work, I think it will...

I know there are some great tuners like rick at synergy, he has great reviews and ive been talking to him, so far he has been aweson with responding to me, im just looking for that one stop shop
If you feel like taking a drive to LA county we can get you squared away.
We are a one stop shop.
We have many customer come from the bay area and even do quite a bit of work for our out of state customers.
Out of state customer either have their vehicle shipped in to us or they drive it in and fly home then fly out and pick it up once work is completed.
At the moment we even have a carbon edition z06 from Maine for our heads and cam package.
