Default LS1/4L80E tuning?

I have a swap project going on with my 67 Nova. Like the title says, I have a 99 LS1 with the matching control unit mated to an 80E trans with a stand alone harness built for the LS1/80E swap. I would like to send the controller in for tuning and would like the trans updated also while they have it. Can anyone point me in the direction of someone who can do both?
Thanks in advance.
Jay

Why not use the stock PCM to control the 80e, so you can bring it anywhere to tune or tune it yourself.

My intention is to use the factory control. I am wanting someone to do the first tune on both the engine and trans just to get me going. I intend to buy some tuning software in the future so I can tune myself.
Thanks

Ah okay I misunderstood your first post. If you are looking for a base tune with a 80e segment swap then look into Tunedbyfrost.com Excellent tuner and great guy. He also sells HPtuners.

Efilive can do segment swaps. For the 80e. Since you want to tune it yourself I would look at that route.
