JDM is in freehold...they have a good rep.

Do you any # to get in touch with them?

How far?

SVTLight2000

no offense but if you want a dyno queen that you only take to the track than go to JDM. they are great but for a daily driver i would def consider JJ@WMS in maryland. he tunes on the street where there is alot more load on your truck than on a perfectly smooth dyno. i will put my truck up against anyone with the same mods as me and was tuned on a dyno. JJ knows what he is doing and is the BEST in customer service hands down. he answers the phone 99% of the time and it doesnt matter if it is 10pm he will help you out. JDM charges 150.00 for any upgrade in their tunes, JJ is free. I have dealt with JJ and JDM, i prefer JJ!

another vote for JLP. Definitely worth the drive!!! The drive is a BLAST too goin through those windy twisty scenic country roads Customer service is excellent, and pricing is very fair.

Dyno tuned street tune and running flawlessly. Never had my race tune done on the dyno, but ran 12.1 @ 112.48 in the 1/4 in my big ol' HD!

SVTLight....you have any track times? We've got pretty similar mod setups & dyno #'s.

BigMattFromNJ

Yea you just have to watch out for horse ****.

Jim Ienner

Good points, but all tuners should tune on a dyno to get close, and on the street to dial in. All three tuners you mention in this general area are plenty competant. Any can do what you need. My reccomendation is to call all three, discuss your plans and goals, then make your decision.
I am very happy with my JDM tune. Performance numbers in sig. But this is a STREET truck that is driven hundreds of miles to the tracks. My street manners are impeccable. Jim(JDM) spent a lot of time making sure the drivability is as good as the track performance. Get 17 MPG to boot!
Good luck with your choice.
Jim

haha thats part of the slalom (sp?), goes right with carving corners around all the hills and turns!

Definitely the best advice. Talk to the various tuners, and get a feel for whoever you feel most comfortable doing business with. Even better, if you get a chance, try to come out to one of the track events and meet the different tuners in person.


and personally, I feel more comfortable having my tune setup on a dyno first under more controlled conditions than on the street. after JL did my tune we went out for a road test and everything still felt great, and rather than chancing it going WOT multiple times on some back streets trying to get a tune setup and worrying about other cars on the road or cops, etc., its right on the dyno under controlled conditions.

BigAnt72

Yea man I am in the same predicament. Its time for some mods and a new tune. I am debating on who to go to as well.

1badredsvt

Thanks guys,very interested points, i will call them and see my choices.

TheHammer

i would do what CTTOPGUN said call each tuner in the area which are all great and all have great reps. discuss your plans with each and see who you like the most, go to their shops whatever
you have to figure out which one is the best for YOU not everyone else

JDM is 732-180-0770 732-462-6222
