Looking For A Tuner
I'll vouch for SOHC Mshue, only because I've witnessed him tuning a car first hand, albeit he is not in the 757.
I'm not 100% on this, but I think he uses uberdata and not hondata.

The people not happy with Shad either have ghetto setups, or want more than the car will do. He tunes well. He will tune the car right and it'll make power (if the setup allows it too). I've been there for a lot of the cars he has tuned, I've seen people leave the shop pissed. The same people came in with no boost controller, broken wastegate, ghetto distributor, no timing covers, shitty wiring, cheap AFC, etc. I mean, the list goes on as to why people leave pissed off. How many cars in the area has shad tuned? now compare that to all the other tuners listed and he has still done more than them combined. I know its not a 50/50 ratio. So many people are happy with their tunes (or at least all the work he did). Some may not be satisfied with the power it put down, but at least he didnt tune it on the unsafe side to make that extra 3, 15, 40hp so it only lasts a month. He'll tell you what you need to do, fix, buy to make the other power you want.
I would go with Shad.

Im pretty sure he just likes to make/take money. Ive heard stories about him de-tuning cars because they were faster than his,and lots of other crazy stories,but im not gonna get into all that,because im not going to turn this into a mud slinging contest. Personally,ive watched damien load up a 2g eclipse on the dyno,and make it put down 400whp like it was nothing in a matter of 30 minutes or so. And ive also watched him make a del sol put down 350whp at 9psi,without any problems other than the bastard honda ignition timing.

I want to hear all the other crazy stories because i know they have no validity to them. You are as bad as all the young kids who believe the hype. You have no first hand experiences to pass judgement on so you go by people's stories...

I saw him make 630whp on a hatch. A near stock-internal'd turbo B16 civic make 400+whp, etc. (safely). And also disagree with the de-tuning, like 'Cisco says, he hasn't even raced his own car b'c he doesn't have his own.
There ARE many horrid setups that come into Accuracy and Shad DOES tell his customers what he may or may not make on it. Most customers that come in are eager, impatient, and don't listen. Shad will tell them to take it easy if unsafe and they still don't listen... then they come back with blown motors.
It's the same thing with DSM's when you walk into DP. They say they can do some kind of street tune with an SAFC, but persuade you into AEM stand alone or DSMLink. You need the tools.
Oh yeah... Shad.
