Default Tuners in DC, MD, VA?

Does anyone know of any reputable Toyota/Lexus tuners in the DC area? I'd like to turbo my 2JZGE engine which came stock with my 98 sc300. Any help or recommendation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

sounds good...but the price is very high. do you all look to spend around 10k to add bout 100 more horse powers to the wheel? Thats almost $100 per HP.

Advantages?

Disadvantage?

A GTE isn't absolutely necessary. A GE with a head gasket will easily crank out 700+rwhp with the same mods on a gte.

Don't mean to gripe, but here I'm. I've been in touch with SRT since the shop was recommended to me by Apex84. I've emailed and called the shop many times with questions and requirements for the 1998 sc300. After my research, I've decided to go with the shop for the Intake System. They were running a special, which ends 7/31, for $100 off on the hardware. Unfortunately, that is where the dialog fizzled out. I've called and email to inquire about their availability for the install. In essence, I wanted to schedule an appointment. No responses. No dates. No time. Not sure what is going on here. Yes, they are bursting at the seams with business. However, does that mean my business is so insignificant that it's not worth their time and effort? Where should I go from here? I want my 2jzge to breath right. Help!

Thanks for listening,
Howat
