Default Who can tune a '97?

Like the title says, I am looking for someone who can clean up the tune on my '97 Tran Am and delete a few things. Is their anyone within a few hundred miles of me? I am near Bristol Tn. I called Hawks and they said they don't do '97's. Thanks.

If you cant find anyone local. Your best bet is to send the pcm off to either Ion (madtuner) or Bryan (pcmforless).

For your app, I would suggest Ed Wright.

I don't have the option to send off my PCM, I am looking for a place to dyno tune.

I didn't think it would be this hard to find someone.

What kind of mods do you have? If it's driveable, try and make an appointment at the NC office of PCMforLess in Mooresville, NC:

http://www.pcmforless.com/index.php?...=100&Itemid=99

Driving directions link above. Google maps it and see how far that is for you.

If you've put a cam in it and dropped big injectors in, forget driving it. You have little option other than to grab a used PCM, send it to them, let them get you close enough on the mail-order tune to drive it down there and dyno it.

I will check them out, Mooresville is only about 3.5 hours from me. There is really not a whole lot of mods, I just rebuilt the motor a while back. One of my cats gutted itself so I am going to finish off the other. I got rid of air system and the a/c. Its a 355cid now with the "iron head" head gaskets. And the usual LM catback and cold thermostat and 4.10 gear. Its just pig rich right now, I want to get rid of SES light, and get the speedo back to normal. It probably doesn't need a full dyno tune but like I said before, I can't send my ECU in.
