Performance Shops, MA?

Anyone know a good performance shop in MA? Preferably down towards Milford/Medway/Bellingham? (I-495 South Exit 19-18)

Which is a better fit for the money, GM Stage 2 performance, or SMG tune. Say GM Stage 2 is roughly $750 at my local dealer. Could I get better than 241HP from SMG?

Depends on your mods. GMS2 just by slapping it on isnt guaranteed 240 hp. With all my mods im only 239/219.

Fred from SMG told me with roughly $650 I'd end up with about 240 hp at the wheels with a fully stock SS/SC. Not sure if he was completely truthful, or just trying to sell the shop...but it sounds decently promising to me. Any truth in this statement?

Fred wouldnt screw anyone over just to make money. Ive dealt with fred many many times and he has been more than fair. He will even tell you that hed rather have a safe conservitive tune than something with higher numbers that could blow on the way home. How many shops tell you that? Hes legit. trust me.
