I'm from Kapiti, my mate purchased a BA tuned at TMS, it's around 320rwkw and goes pretty good.

I've not had any work done at Prestige but they seem like a pretty switched on outfit, @canedkyddseems to rate them.

I had mine tuned in Fielding by Keith Stewart, got 407rwkw and then settled on 381rwkw tune to help the driveline live a little longer.

We haven't got the same luxury over here as Straya has with several really good Barra tuners.

be interesting to see what you think of them. I am pretty happy with Prestige. stock other than 1000cc injectors I got 300rwkw. had an issue after tune on the dragstrip of a miss under load called Chris and he said get in in asap and he will sort it. tested again on dyno first and all was good and in fact on the street giving it a beating it performed awesome. Chris then took it to a (closed road) for testing and then was able to notice the miss. you cant replicate that on the dyno. closed the gap on the plugs slightly  problem sorted. These guys take pride in every tune they do and will go the extra mile to make sure you are happy.

is that including springs? if so, that's alright, if not, the cost is too high and you should go with a mechanic that has a lower hourly rate to do the labour intensive work that is valve springs.
