Backstreet Performance - Thumbs Up!
Just a shout out to Backstreet Performance In Medina who just did a tune on our 2004 C5. These guys really seem to care and pulled decent HP numbers out of our car after header install and tune.
They took the whole afternoon and a lot of dyno pulls to get it just where we wanted it considering what we were looking for. With LG Pros (w/ cats) and Blackwing we're pushing 346Hp at 369 TQ at the wheels w/ a 2004 A4 2:73.
Then they called the next day to make sure all was well and we were happy with the results.
Not the biggest shop but certainly one of the best in this area as they'll do what needs to be done to get it right. Close ties w/ Mallet, the Corvette Museum don't hurt either. They'll be down at the forum cruise-in w/ their dyno so check em out if ya get the chance.
*Yes, it's a shameless plug for someone I think deserves it but considering some of the customer relations I've had with companies over the last few months I think that when somebody sincerely cares about their work, they deserve it. I have no association w/ them aside from being a satisfied customer.

I had backstreet do the headers and tune on my Z and was pleased with their work.
