Does JNZ tuning offer any in house services? I know they are located in New Jersey.

Sean Ivey - Ivey Tune

Sean is a great guy who does a fantastic job. He is who I would go to if I were ready to have my car tuned.

Ara Arslanian started Bullish Racing, and I think you're referring to George, not Bert. George worked at Rally Motorsports when Ara hired him to run tune the twin Solaras.

Ivey is a very good tuner, Turbotrix will do you right, or you can call JNZ in Pa. I don't think JNZ has an in-house dyno yet, but I believe they have access to one.

He's a great guy but he doesn't tune Dsmlink, VPC or SAFC.

"Tuning and setup/install of almost any standalone engine management systems. Specializing in Haltech, AEM, Autronic, and Motec systems. "

Ivey definitely does other cars besides Evos but I guess he only does standalone stuff. My second choice would probably be TurboTrix.

Sean ivey is good but he is pricey. Also, he seems to net the same awhp numbers for evos w/ boltons... always 330whp ish. Odd but it works and is a reliable tune.

Turbotrix...... no f***ing way. The horror stories that come from this place are ridiculous. For every one person that is satisfied with turbotrix there are at least 20-30 who are not. My friend had his cluth done there(he upgraded) and the next day he had x-fer case whine. Why? Not to sure, but then again he was told to not go there and he did. But by far my favorite story was of a talon or something to that nature. Kid(16,17,18-21) goes to get his lightly modded talon tuned at turbotrix. They tune it and get some huge numbers out of his stock motor like 400whp or something of the nature. Not even two miles after leaving turbotrix, the motor blows. Kid walks back to turbotrix and they turn him away saying its not their problem. I'm sure there are plenty more out there and i actually have a few more stories but then again if i never met you, then they are just stories to you.
 

Sean Ivey - He can tune anything and wire a car from the ground up which not too many tooners can do.

Actually from what i remember Ara did start bullish.Ara was a Day trader in wall street.He got the name from the term Bull Market hence the name Bullish.Also FYI Manny Cruz is Tuned by a kid in the bronx.



Anyways Turbotrix is a horror show.Ivey is pricey but one of the best around.depends on what your going to tune.for flashes go to ivey once you are 100% sure that you are done with mods because it cost $500 for a flash.

Yes prostore was berts but Ara came up with bullish.i know bert builds soloras motors(which have been many) and cougars motors were built by Duttwieller supposely.
