best tuner around......was closed?? My search for the best tuner around was closed???? Not for sure what happened there. I might be too far along to do email style tunes. I need to find some where to go that can dyno tune. I know a few that I have in mind but would like to hear more suggestions.

Why do you think you're too far along for an email tune? A good tuner can send you a solid baseline that is safe for your setup, do some logging, send it back, and he should be able to do anything he could in person. Not as convenient as in-person but it works, plus it gets you familiar with the software.
WOT tuning on the dyno would be nice, but if you don't have any reputable tuners in your area I would not settle just because one has a dyno.

I'd check out Speed Inc in Chicago, House of Boost in KS(200 miles from you), or Mike Norris in Indianapolis.

Ah makes sense, hopefully you've been adding mods within those 3 months because if it's taking your tuner that long to get the same setup right then you definitely need to find someone else.

There isn't anything stock on it. Dual pump setup running E85, Forced Induction, etc etc....Well it ends up taking alot of time. You send a log and turn around time being 5 days or so. Takes awhile to get the tune nailed down so 15 or so tunes. Throw in busy times, holidays, and vacations for the tuner. If I average 1 tune per week.....15 weeks but it doesn't work out that way. I enjoy the whole build process but the tuning process not so much. I guess mostly because I feel helpless because I don't know enough about it.
The months of tuning is my fault though. I go all summer tuning and then spend all winter changing the whole setup and then tune some more....

Not for sure but I had heard House of Boost lost employees???? Hard to get anything done there??? Just a rumor but not sure. Speed Inc won't do it running pump E85. Mike Norris and AMS performance may be possible. I don't know much about them. AMS is definitely highly experienced with Evo's and stuff like that. Would like to hear feedback on GM stuff though.
