That's why I went with Terry, and others have gone with Shiv, Cobb, etc., because they have 1000s of customers a portion of which provide very useful feedback on the performance of their tune to the community to help others feel confident in the tune. That being said, I would reach out to previous customers of Smokey's tuning shop to see what specifically they had tuned and what their impressions are of the tune.

Lastly, I would ensure that you get that guarantee in writing and make sure it covers you if they mess up your car.
Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, I very well may just leave my car stock (w/the MPPK), but it did piqué my interest. I figured custom tunes were more commonplace.
