Question Suggestions for Dynos in VA?

I'll be doing my TR224 cam swap in the next couple months, along with an LS6 intake, ported LS6 oil pump, ported TB, new double roller set, and 3.73's. So, as many of you may already suspect, I'm going to need a good tune..... badly. Any recommendations for dyno shops that do good cam tunes in VA? I live in Alexandria (way up North) but I'll entertain ideas of farther away places if people REALLY like a certain one. Thanks guys.

Fbody central In Baltimore is where i got mine dynoed. I live in fairfax and it takes me about 45 minutes to get there with moderate traffic. They dont actually have a dyno at their shop but they take your car to a dyno somewhere around in catonsville. They charge 100 dollars for the dyno and tune. I like them alot, Jasons a very nice, fair guy and hes very accomodating to any schedule youd like. He very good at following up and fixing any problems that may arise out ofany work done. Im sure others on this board will back me up about Fbody. Theres also a place in chantilly called EB3 motorsports but they dont specialize in Fbodies and they charge out the ***. I dont like them. They wanted to take off my heads and charge 1200 dollars for a cam swap. theyre closer but i dont like them at all.

I had my clutch done there as well as my transmission checked out. Jason is a very nice guy... they aren't quite on the timeliest of schedules though... it took about 5 weeks to get my tranny checked out, a synchro replaced, and a new clutch setup put in (given the fact that they send the tranny's out to someone else). And I can't forget to mention what a hellacious drive it is to get home from there during rush hour traffic

I called up Woodbridge dynotech and they said that it would be $125/hour for a dyno tune after I do my cam swap and it would most likely take 4-5 hours.... I'm not so sure about this... because I called up another place in Richmond that said it would take about 1-2 (ELD Performance). But, if woodbridge dynotech does it right, i'll pay the money. I don't cut corners when it comes to something this important. I just want to know which places I can trust without having to learn first hand from a possibly serious mistake.

P.S. 01SunsetSS - where do you live in Fairfax? I live in Fairfax county, right next to Hayfield High School... I never see you around

Any of you VA guys know a dyno around Norfolk? I got a few new mods and gotta check my A/F ratio so I can start squeezing the most out of my tune.
