Default Who is the best Ls1 turbo tuner out there near WI???

I will have my ride running in a short time and need to have a dyno tune done.
It has the stock Pcm with no mass air. It is a 347" LS1 with the typical forged setup, 83 lb injectors with imp converter, twin 60-1 hi-fi turbos, 8.1:1 compression Stage 2 heads, etc. I was wanting a 2 bar speed density HPTuner tune.
This setup will make roughly 700-800 rwhp on pumpgas, but I need a tuner that can do it. Can anyone recommend someone, or does a tuner out there have much experience on this? And what is the cost to have the complete dyno tune done?
I can trailer the car within a state or two from Wisconsin.

Thanks.

Speed Inc. www.ls1speed.com

they have built a pile of 800-1000 RWHP turbo cars, they would be the best guys to tune your application without a doubt.

IN your desired HP range, and on a LT1 as well as a LS1.

FLP is a bit further south but I am sure they could do it as well, not trying to discourage speed inc. just offering another option.

I checked FLP. I heard they know there sh*t. BUT, they don't use Hptuner and I need a 2 bar setup. I do not want mass air, So they are out. I wish an hptuner and wide band did'nt cost $1250 or I would just do it myself. I sure miss my Gen7 DFI!

who cares? if you can tune a car on race gas you can tune a car on pump gas, it makes no difference.

I don't ever run race gas, I only race the car one or twice a year due to lack of a cage. All the tuners out there tell me I can have the infinite power on race gas, but only 650 hp on pump. That does me absolutly no good!
I want a tuner that can actually "tune" the car for pumpgas that will make closer to 750 rwhp. You have to be a better tuner to get the max power from pumpgas, as it is less forgiving to mistakes.
If that little 360 ford can make 900 rwhp on 93. I demand 750 rwhp+ and I will have it no matter what.
It can be done, and I might have found a tuner that can do it!
