Never heard of them. But my dad has dealt with Randy at ProStock in Edmonton with his 69 gmc. Has had zero problems and knows his stuff.

Chat with Louie at AMS. He doesn't have a chassis dyno, but he is one of the smartest engine guys in the country.

Boost there used to be a guy who had a chasis dyno ...I think it was Stew's or something like that...I think Mark and his dad from Campbell Automotive
(780)-452-3535 purcashed it but you'd have to call them to see. Chasis dyno is great if you can get a guy that is on his game with tuning as it puts load on the car as if it were on the street....really a great way to maximize your set-up for sure.

I wasn't sure if Louie did tune ups but I know he tunes the engines that he builds and he's a super busy guy as well. I had some work done on my blower engine over at Campbells and they did pretty fair work and didn't gouge me either.

Someone else was talking about Randy over at Pro-Stock ...he's on his game as well...has some real fast stuff out there and I think they tune as well.
(780) 453-6161. Let us know how you make out there Boost...:d
