3 tuning places in mind
I got these 3 tuning places in mind AMS Performance, P & L Motor Sports, and Boomba Racing. AMS and P&L are both AEM Factory Trained tuners so that's good for me since I have AEM FIC. AMS is specialize with Evo's, P&L is specialize with WRX and Boomba Racing is specialized with SRT. AMS and P&L both started on 2001 but AMS have more accomplishment of the 3, I do not have allot of info about Boomba Racing other than they make performance parts for Dsm, Honda, and SRT-4, should I go with AMS?

is there a price difference?
I know AMS is doing some stuff for the Genesis - they at least have an intercooler setup, if not more.
Since you're tuning with AEM products, I would go with someone that's trained with it.

AMS i would bet would cost the most, but have the most background. They might also milk their time so they can make more $$$.
AEM FIC software is pretty simple, not anything like the AEM EMS software. Anyone with a reputable shop shouldn't have an issue with the FIC.
I would find out prices of each place, per hour and go from there.
Also, I would make SURE you request a MAX tuning time, like 2 hours or something, so you don't go to the shop and they say 'o, it took 8 hours to tune this car, that will be 950$'
Knowing about your car and the build, along with the issues with your shop, I would really make sure everything else is squared away before you dump a bunch of money into tuning. (check your compression, do all maintenance you are needing/will soon need, etc)

Pick the place that has a loaded dyno for a more complete tune. I believe AMS uses a loaded hub dyno so they should be able to tune for ALL boosted conditions so you don't end up blowing up your car going up a long hill...lol

I have more Info I called all of them AMS charge $235/hr but he said it should not take more than an hour to tune the FIC, P&L has a flat rate of $450 and doesnt matter how long it will take them to tune. Boomba Racing charge $480 for 3 Hours Tuning and $130/h after that. They said that they include boost leak check and make sure that car is in good condition before they do anything.

Sounds bad, but if you get your car all tightened up, i would go to AMS, they will probably be able to squeez the most POWA out of your WIP!
