Daniel, don't sell yourself short

Your work is worth the drive from Dallas. There are other shops a hell of a lot closer to me, but my car is still sitting @ SQR , now isn't it?

Daniel and/or Dr. Blair depending on the combination and what kind of tune you are looking for. The SD tunes take quite a bit of work, Scott is usually punching the keys while Daniel runs the dyno and checks out the datalogging. Either one of them is more than capable of working with the HP tuner software.

They do Fords as well if you know anybody with one. Daniel just bought all of the SCT software.

Do they have a chassis dyno? What software do they use? I've never heard of them. The only tuner I know of anywhere around there is Bill Duke.

Is Billy doing LS1 tuning? I know he does some tuning on Buick GN's but I didn't know he was doing any LS1 tuning.

Don't anyone hijack the thread or start anything, but I would go to Fastech and let Sean do the tuning, he has been doing for many years, and is really good at it. Be careful who you trust to do your tuning - some do not know what they are doing. Happy Hunting!!

Not that I know of but just because it has two more cylinders, more compression and no boost doesn't mean he can't tune it

Between SQR and Fastech you can't go wrong. If you are West of Irving I'd probably hit up SQR, otherwise head East.
