Finally have everything to finish up my Ka-T project (well for now atleast) and since I'm moving up to Va here in the next month I was hoping to find a great (not just good) shop in the area. Being in the Marines restricts my big chunks of free time to the weekends, so any help would be great.

Only req besides being a knowledgeable shop is that they will be able to tune my AEM ems.

Many thanks in advance.

I know of two shops in the DC/Northern VA area. Redshift is west of DC in Chantilly VA. My friend had a SR installed there. http://www.redshiftdc.com

Another one is Mid Atlantic in Baltimore MD. http://www.ma-motorsports.com

I dont know if either shop has experience with KA-Ts or EMS...

Not to jack your thread but i live in Hampton.....I will soon be a member of the KA-T club. Just bought a wrecked KA-t 240 for 2500 that ran a high 12 in the 1/4....I was gonna say go to Millenium...The guy that does all of there tuning is a KA-T guru. Long drive from DC area though....Good Luck

You talking about Gray? Yeah I feel pretty good about someone working on my KA-T who also owns a 240 s13.. I believe his pushes 500+ HP, although thats just what i've heard.
