Default Need some info on where to get dyno'd tuned

Hey this is my first post on here I just got an 05 cts-v and have headers, exhaust, and intake waiting to be installed. I haven't installed them yet because I have not found a place to have the car dyno tuned. Im new to muscle cars but, not new to modding cars. I used to have a fully built a4 making 450awhp on a 60trim turbo. Does anyone have any suggestions on where I should take my car to get tuned? Thanks

If you're looking for quality local shops....
Cartek in N.J.
Kalteck and SSPerformance over the bridge in N.Y.
Formato at Keiths Pit Stop(When he's in town) and Rapid in Pa.

All 5 of these shops are more then capable of tuning anything.....

I've heard nothing but good things about Sick Speed Performance in Goshen, NY. Don't have any personal experience with them, though.

Where in NJ are you located? You said roughly 40 min. west of NYC, I'm about that far myself (near Wayne, NJ).

Call Fran at Race Proven Motorsports, i bet he will answer and ask any question you could possibly have.

What shop will answer pms/texts/calls and will meet you at the track to help with your car?

I finally got through to them in the afternoon, I am going to give cartek a try because #1 they are only 58mins from my house and #2 I have heard nothing but good things and the person who I finally got a hold of was very helpful and respectful. I also hear RPM is like the best place on the planet so my next tune I may go there.

Question: what horsepower should an ls6 make with 1-7/8" long tubes to high flow cats to a borla cat-back with K&N intake, and 180* t-stat.
