Default Speed Density Turbo Tune Upstate NY?

I need to find a good dyno shop to have a car I recently bought tuned. I am in the Albany area. Vehicle is a 2004 GTO with a 5.3l shortblock, 317 heads, LS6 cam with a custom frontmount Turbonetics GTK1000 and meth injection and 3 bar map

Car is on a conservative street tune now and I want to get a good speed density dyno tune done. Any recommendations? I have a shop semi local called Coppola Motorsports but have seen a few horror stories on forums involving them.

Recently bought the car and it is running a conservative street tune with 12 degrees of timing. Needs a dyno tune to add more timing etc... Also has an alky control progressive meth kit that is hooked up but not tuned in.

I've dealt with Kevin before with purchasing parts and he is a great guy.

Then that's the place to go. A lot of time convenience is not the best option.

We tune a lot of cars from your area but it's a drive.

According to my GPS, your place is only 3hrs away from me. I thought it was further. I will probably be in contact in the near future.

How much do you charge for a FI speed density tune?

I say New Era or Slowhawk. I am on this board all the time, I have seen nothing but great things come out of both shops. I had my car tuned at New Era 3 times, car runs great.
