I'm looking from a reliable trustworthy company or person(not some random person) that tunes nitro engines, does any one know of any?
Thanks.
Your Lhs might tune nitros

You need to find someone local hockee, here's why: let's say you find someone online that does it, they tune it "perfectly," and send it back. The atmospheric conditions where you are are different than where they are, so for when you get it back - it's WAY out of tune for your location. Or it's OK today, but not OK tomorrow, or the next day. It's something that needs to be done almost every time you run.
Best thing is to hang out at the local track, watch a few races, see who seems to always have their nitro running, doesn't have to pull it off to the side to restart it three times during a race, then introduce yourself by telling him (or her!! ) it looks looks he/she knows what he's/she's doing and would he/she mind helping you get the hang of tuning. Offer to pay a few bucks for their time if they like (most of us would refuse the money . . RIGHT? :D )
Really, one or two afternoons is all it takes, and you wind up gaining a racing bud in the process, if you get along.

I agree with Rocknbil.
Unless you're talking about a company who actually goes in and modifies your engine. In that case, throw away whatever you have and buy a JP or something similar.
