The only negatives really are, being with out a car for a period of time. Which most the time isnt even a negative because they own a second car. And the other common negative is shipping the car out if there isnt a local tuner. Other then that i caint see where more negatives are then having 600whp

But yes, shipping the car can leave to an easy nightmare.

i doubt there any shop in MD. your best bet is to get it done the right time and professionally by Forged Performance or GTM and you probably won't have any problems. Agree with vinny

There's a really good engine builder in baltimore, his name is frank. He can easily bolt on a GTM turn key TT kit without any problems. On the other hand , Sam at GTM is probably the only US tuner that has mastered tuning TT G37's. These builders work together so boosting your car will be easy. PM fireboy for frank's number and google GTM for sam's number. Thanks.

Here I saved you some time.

HILL'S GARAGE-4700 BELLE GROVE RD-BALTIMORE MD 21225 410-636-5554

Finding GTM's number should be easy for you. Fireboy's TT car is at Frank's shop right now.

I hope I helped. lata

Why not AAM? They're in Maryland and seem to know what they're doing very well.

Fireboy's kit was build at AAM but they nerver perfected the tune. So now he's working with Frank and Sam to perfect the car.

I would not count out AAM. Jeremy from Performance Factory just moved up there to work with them and seems like they are making some changes. But does seem like GTM is doing some good work.

Gotta tell ya'll that Frank is the man. He put on the HFC's (2 weeks back) and the exhaust this weekend. As well he was kind enough to skip around for the cobb flash. I didnt realize that the damn flash took so long. In any case, Frank is by far one of the best and most through mechanics you will find, period. I appreciate the recommendation by Fireboy (as well I thank him for the HFC's). His car is there, and the new parts look damn good! I'm not one to reveal them, but damn. Again, +1 for Frank.

Install is the easier part, although its very hard. But the tuning part is what scares me. There's so limited of tuners out there that's actually a guru in VQs. Pretty much we all know who they are already..
