Default Dyno's and Tuners in Maine

Searched the Tuner Directory... From what I found there is

GearHead in Levant, currently moved from Hermon website:

http://www.gearheadautomotivet....html

as well as seacoast dyno in Saco

http://seacoastdyno.net/
...which by the looks of there website, seems like they dyno monster trucks with flame decals...

Supposedly there is one in bangor, but i have no idea where...

I also have no idea which of these shops to trust, if anyone has any input, that would be good!

BTW the tuner directory still lists f1dyno. From what i understand it closed a while ago...may be totally wrong though..but im pretty sure they did.

Also I have a flyer for True Dyno Performance 79 route 1 steuben, Maine 04680

It looks mostly like muscle cars but who knows. number is 546-2805 and rates are $80/h and $50/h after the first hour.
$70 for a three run basline.
Oh yea it is a Mustang dyno

Stay far, far away from Performance Auto and Diesel. Everyone who works there is a mentally disabled ricer *******. Gearhead can tune AEM and Apexi standalones, thats it as far as a Honda goes. I offered to pay them to learn crome or uberdata and they declined.. which sucks, considering they're only 30 seconds from where I live. Northeast Auto Design can do rough tunes but I wouldn't trust them for anything more than an eBay turbo kit on a D15. If you want to get your turbo Honda properly tuned, you gotta go out of state. I'd suggest ****'s tuning in New Hampshire or there are plenty in Massachusetts that can help you. I'm getting tuned by my uncles new shop in Mass I'll post up info as soon as he gets his dyno finished

strongly reccommend dent sport garage over that place you speak of in NH you catch my drift, Matt is the tuner and he does awesome work and the guys there are very reputable and helpful.

Yea I considered that, but the thing is man, there's people who do this for a LIVING and are professionals, and they can still [freak] things up. I really don't trust myself messing around with my engine. If things went sour I'd be out a lot of money.

Dentsport is actually who tuned it originally, it was running great, and still is running strong. But now she's running rather rich so I wanted to get it looked at. And when I put cam's in it'll need to be tuned again

I hate it when people say this. I have absolutely no interest or use for knowing a tuning program... and even if I did know crome or something, I'd still have it professionally tuned by someone with experience.

By the way, I didn't know Dent sport even existed, its right up the road from my Aunts house I'll definitively go down there and check it out next time I'm down in Mass Anyone know their tuning prices and stuff? Their website is down

Not sure on the prices, but they do really good work, my car was tuned there prior to me purchasing it. Theres also a handful of reputable people on here that will vouch for them

If you had no use for knowing a tunning program that would mean you dont need to get your car tuned. Did the professionals have to start with no experience. There is nothing on a car I would not do myself. I would just put the time and effort into it to get it done right.

Alright alright, lets stop bickering before it gets out of hand! its simply a thread asking for local tuning shops, I appreciate everyones help though.
And Colby I totally agree with you, I do all my work on my car EXCEPT when it comes down to things that could destroy my engine if I did it incorrectly
