Default Looking for dyno tuning in northern New Jersey

My FE is not running as ferouscious as I would like, it appears it needs a good tune up. Can somebody recommend a good shop in the Paramus area in northern NJ?
thanks

Not in Paramus, but further west by about 30 miles would be Bruce's Speed Shop on RT46 in Rockaway, NJ. Even further west in Alpha, NJ is G&S Auto. Both will do a good job on your dyno tune.

Default I know it's a little far but

86sebring Second Street Speed in Perkasie PA is one of the top guys on the eastern coast for tuning. I gone there many times for fine tuning of the car. Where every you go, here are some things you will need to bring,
2-3 sets of spark plugs, go up and down 1-2 heat ranges
jets if you are running holleys, get a 5 high and low of what you are running in the car now. Bowl gaskets and base plate gaskets.
This will save you some money and time. Have an easy location for getting fuel pressure readings from the car.
The rest is at the shop. Check for pricing per hour at any dyno. He is NOT the CHEAPEST. You can fine shops for 100 dollars per hour BUT you do all the work, they ONLY watch you do the dyno runs and give no advice on jetting, timing, or repairs. Let a pro do this one time. You might want to look at an LM-1 A/F meter for the car after this. This gives real time readings of how the car is performing. You also would n't need to go to a dyno and could do the tuning on your own with this meter. Rick L.
