I know of the following:
-BlackTraxx Performance
I know a couple people that work there. One of them is the Supra Doctor. Very knowledgeable about the 2JZ. I know of a fully built AEBS NA-T Supra that was done there. They also custome fabricate some of their own parts.
-Dyno Spot Racing
There was a ClubLexus meet there a couple years ago. One of my friends got his Supra dynotuned there. The 76 gas station down the street has the 100 octane at the pump.
-Tech 3 Performance
Located off of Monterey rd. in San Jose. They just got a new Dyno last year. They have been in business for as long as I can remember.
-Midnight Performance
Located in Rancho Cordova. Two of the guys that go there have gotten most of their work done for their NA-T SC300s. They fully built and tuned my neighbors' Turbo Civic Si. The guys are fair and knowledgeable about the 2JZ.

We had a great Dyno Day mini meet with 15+ cars at DynoSpot before.
A couple people have tried them to Tune an SAFC with moderate improvements, but they are more expert at Tuning Euro cars.
Really no expertise with Lexus.
I also tried to have FullFunction tune my GS. They don't claim to be experts on Lexus either but they have the capability. There are some good people there, but they are so booked that I would have to wait a couple of months.
I believe they would of been able to tune my car, but it would cost me dyno labor hours because my car would of been a guiney pig for them to learn Lexus.
Pete at Works may focus on EVOs , but he was originally an engineer for Dinan and the bottom line is he is Technically Highly skilled. The power he got out of my car with such low boost was awesome.
Can't wait to see what I get if I bump up to 7 - 8 lbs of boost .
Still no Internal engine mods required at that boost level.

Still no Internal engine mods required at that boost level. But you are correct , They are good at what they do....And they have done a handful of Supras successfully.......But is FF particularly knowledgable or exp w/ the 2jz platform ? .......Probably not?
BTW What type of engine/fuel mgmt is the OP is looking to have tuned?
If its an AEM or any other standalone for that matter. As long as you are waiting 2 months already, I would contact John Reed either directly, or Blacktraxx i believe will arrange it too...And see when he is planning to be in the area .

I had my AEM EMS tuning done @ FF. (I dont want to comment just yet on my expirience, as there are still some unresolved issues pending )
But you are correct , They are good at what they do....And they have done a handful of Supras successfully.......But is FF particularly knowledgable or exp w/ the 2jz platform ? .......Probably not?
