Unfortunately, people have had mixed results between dasilva and steeda.

ZX32NV has had immense success with dasilva. However, they didn't do so well with Hardkore's car, and my old car (the kid managed to blow the engine between the dealership and dasilva).

However, we also remember all the drama with steeda and brookszx3 (IIRC)... and things didn't look any shinier. I believe they did some work on a couple of cars, and from what I could see, the results were mixed as well.

The thing is that both places are more than capable -- but sometimes tuners get stuck in certain ruts. Keep your eyes and ears open for the more common 'tuning traps', such as calibrated MAFs and Injectors... and making sure that your A/F stays nice and safe (aim for about 12.1, 11.9 to be safe).

And make sure you go back and forth with other people who've done or had tuning done to get their inputs.

Getting a reliable tune unfortunately requires a lot of time and effort on your part since you can't truly trust any tuner who won't pay for their mistakes (including blown engines).
