Factor X's head tuner was the brainchild behind the SC at Area51. The guy is one of the very few Pectel specialist in the nation. Put it this way, he's not a chump in regards to tuning. He left the firm because of issues with the management. I would trust my car to him. I thought his shop was going to open up somewhere in Huntington Beach. Well let me know.
