FL South Florida Tuners: Pettit vs PROs

Hi everyone, I need to have my tuned checked out / possibly retuned. I was wondering if anyone had any experience here with Cam at Pettit or Robert? at PROs. I just want to make sure it's looked at by the best person possible. This car will not be my daily driver and it will endure regular autox and occasional track days. Also my car is running a PFC with single turbo on wastegate pressure at the moment.

Cam is the best in the buisness. He has rebuild the motor and turbos in my fd. He also tuned my power fc. I would highly recommend him

Pettit has been around a long time and are a good choice. They certainly know the FD platform.

Who is this PROs? Haven't heard of them.

They are a local tuning company I've seen them recommended by a member on here through my searching.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I will be giving Cam a call most likely by the end of the week.

Was this for mechanical work or tuning?

Cam might not be the guy if you want to have a dyno queen with a 900HP dyno sheet (although, he could probably do it).

But Cam is DEFINITELY the guy if you want a car that is fun, reliable and consistent. He knows the motors, turbos and quirks inside and out. He also knows how to tune and setup suspension for the street or race.

Remember, Cam was winning championships in these cars before most on here (even some of the shop owners) had a license. His experience is unmatched.

It's going to be a sad day when Cam is gone.

Tune

I had Cam build my engine and tune my PFC. He doesn't try to sell you crap that is unnecessary he has been doing this a long time he has won a GT championship and knows what he is doing. He's not cheap but you get what you pay for. I would highly recommend him. He is a great guy to work with just make sure you have plenty of time to work with him. He is very busy at times.
