looking for a tuner in DMV
 

just getting into the whole lexus performance don't really know a lot of people in my area who work on gs400s but SRT. Is there anyone in the DMV area that could point me in the right direction about where to go.. where not to go and, what to do and what not to do. Right now all I have is a intake and exhaust work done, I have been 14.29 looking for mid 13s or better. thanks in advance.

Good luck, I live in the DMV too, let me know if you find any shops!

During an Inertial Dyno Run, energy is imparted by the vehicle drive wheels into a rotating mass (drum), sized to simulate the inertia of a vehicle driven on the road. The computer monitors the rate of drum acceleration and calculates instantaneous torque and horsepower throughout the rpm range. This test is performed at wide open throttle and generally requires 5 to 10 seconds of data acquisition. The test is extremely accurate and repeatable.

Anyone can bolt parts together.
But we’re not just anyone.
We’re not just machinists and sales – We’re racers, too. From dirt track, circle track, drag racing, drifting, tractor pulling… even boat racing! There isn’t a whole lot we haven’t done. We’re open-minded folks who take pride in our work and never back down from a challenge.

We want to see you meet your horsepower goals. So if you have questions about something in our product line – please call us. You might have to sit on hold for a few minutes, but we’ll get you the information you’re looking for. If you don’t have time to sit on hold – shoot us an email. Half of any job is having the right tools, and the most important tool you can get is the right information. As a general rule, we usually have plenty of that in stock.

Whether you’re looking for a stock rebuild, or 1200hp, we are the right answer. And because of that, we’re busy … at times really busy. I don’t mean to brag… or maybe I do, but when you’re as good as we are in this business, the lines can get a little long… Picasso had long lines too.

We’re not a parts warehouse, we’re an engine shop that sells some parts. If you see a part for sale on our website, it’s only because we’ve used those same parts to build our engines. Nothing leaves this shop that we wouldn’t put on our own cars, trucks, boats… etc.

With a multitude of equipment at our disposal and over 75 years of combined experience using those machines – we can fulfill your desire for consistent and durable horsepower. If you need something bored out, balanced, honed, ported, reground, flow tested, blue printed, or any other random machine work – that is where the machine shop part comes in. On a rare occasion something might come up that we can’t do… but we probably know someone who can. J

CGM Motorsports has been in business for over 20 years. You do that by providing high-quality products, fantastic customer support, a desire to see goals reached, and not ripping people off.

The difference between CGM and any other engine shop out there is our people.
Sure, you can click a button and buy parts anywhere… but why?
