I would vote for Brian @ Reckart Performance, but I believe he has closed the doors and or moved elsewhere.

EDIT: Forgot that Texas Speed has finally moved from Lubbock to the CTX area, they are in Georgetown.

Trust me when I say, it's worth the drive to Pat, I go down multiple times a year for either my own car or going with friends. The LS tuners in Austin suck, Reckart was halfway decent but he's done tuning, sold shop to a clown who I wouldn't let tune my radio. Everyone else that offers tuning is barely good enough for an idle tune, let alone trying to make any safe power.

Tell him KFC from Austin sent you down.

IIRC He was doing it part time after selling the business. He's the only good LSx tuner I've heard about in the Austin area. Does anyone know if Texas Speed is working on cars?

Good mechanic, terrible tuner. Can't tune a radio, let alone a car.
