Best local Subbie shop/tuner?

Starting to research CAI, catback systems, down pipes ,over pipes etc.
I like Perrin a lot because of their quality and they dyno every mod they make.

Only four Perrin distributors/shops within 100 miles, none in Tampa Bay

Of the four Kings Performancemin Orlando seems to have been around the longest and has a proven history.

I've search numerous times for an experienced Subbie tuner around here.

All that I want to do to the BRZ is bolt-on stuff but I want to dyno before and after. I want someone who has done these mods to an FRS or BRZ if at all possible.

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Mastro Subaru in Tampa has always been very mod-friendly. They sell a lot of stuff, and unless I am mistaken have a 4-wheel drive dyno on site.
Might could try them...

I think they stopped modding customer cars after some teenager wrecked his mastro modded wrx/sti and then the family turned around and sued them. You would have to call and confirm with them though, could have just been a rumor.

Yes, Chris is right. That's where we bought the car - and they were great to deal with BTW buying the car, however they have not been very helpful recommending a tuning/mod shop.

Rising Sun Automotive in pinellas park is a very good shop, don't think they have a dyno though.

Well that's a bummer. Too bad people can't take responsibility for their own actions...but I digress...

The Suby forum on TampaRacing.com have any advice?

You could take a look on the local thread on NASIOC.com

It's an impreza based forum, but I'm sure the tuners/shops for WRX/STi's can work on BRZ's.
