Question Best Place For a Basic Tune?

Hey all,

I'm looking to get a tune on my LS1. I only have a Flowmaster cat back and a K&N FIPK with WS6 ram-air hood. Looking to get some better power and MPG as well. I was going to do this: http://www.notasponsor.com/service/ but debating if I can have my car down for a few days to a week. Any recommended places who do a good job but don't charge an arm and a leg? I'm in West Chester, PA, 19380.

Thanks!

I believe we spoke on phone or e-mail, but just to be thorough our shop is located in West Chester, PA. I'm out due to an accident right now, but should be back to doing tuning for next weekend or the following.

We hold night and weekend hours. And depending how certain things work out we might just hold all hours - all by appointment of course.

Hey Andrew,

We did talk over on TST in your accident thread (I'm PAFirefighter11 over there). As a fellow biker I hope you're recovering well! I'm leaning toward your shop due to the tune, price, and that you're only 2 minutes from my work here. How long would your Street Tune take?

Thanks!
