Default Can I trust RPM NYC to tune my car???

I have read many different opinions on engine break in. The one that seems to be the most accepted is to just run it briefly and dyno tune it immediately. The tuner I'm speaking of in the title said to run the car for 1000 miles?? "RPM" will set a program up for my on Hondata to run the car at a safe level until the engine is broke in. I don't know where else to go and I don't know if they are the best choice for me. I live in the NY area. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks H/T!!

I was actually recently at RPM City and I don't know if you have been there but they are this little hole in the wall place that charges a lot of $$ for dyno time because they don't even have one in shop they use one down the road.

I have heard good things about a place called DTR in queens, they actually have a dyno in shop and their prices were reasonable. Let me know your expeirences when it comes down to it.
