I'll check out R-Crew later, they're about 5 mins from my house.
Is Prostreet good? I know they do installs, but I don't know if they did tuning.

NorCal is completely pathetic when it comes to installation and tuning of almost all aftermarket parts. It's near impossible to find people that will install stuff up here. My goal is to change that in a few years. ;)

Talk to Jei over at BlackTrax in Milpitas info at www.blacktrax.net those are the folks I trust!
There are plenty of other good shops around the best bet is to get your plan together and go with the one you are cool with on both communication and pricing you need to make sure you are both on the same page.

I'd try Raging Bull Marketing. Their website is www.tunedbyrbm.com. They're work has been great. They're a small shop, but I haven't seen anyone in the Bay do better work than them. I don't have their number, but they can be emailed at info@tunedbyrbm.com. That's how I got a hold of them.
