Question anywhere near Baltimore tune ls1's?

i am in the baltimore, MD area. there is a guy at Fbody Central(local fbody place) who says he will tune my car for $350+100 for an hour on the dyno, and i can come back whenever and he would tune for nothing other than dyno time cost. is this a good deal? does his shop do good work? i know they use ls1 edit. what questions should i be asking and are there any other alternatives in this area for getting a quality tune?

i failed to mention the reason i am interested in geting some tuning is b/c my a/f was at like 15-16 when i hit the dyno last month. under wot i think i should probably have it fixed. any suggestions on just tweaking a/f??? none of my mods really need a tune but i am worried about my a/f.

I did not have a good experience with them. I would suggest you get your computer tuned by Thunder Racing. It's by mail obviously, but it's worth it to get it done right. I might be going back to see if they can change my opinion though.

All in all...I got more issues than I came in with thanks to their tune. Big thumbs down.

EDIT/UPDATE: I took my car back to Fbody Central and told them to put my computer back to stock and then retune it. They did a great job on the tune this time around and I'll feel a lot less apprehensive about going there now.

If you want to take the ride, we have numerous customers from the Baltimore/DC area. Its about 3 hours but we'd be happy to take care of you. We have a Dynojet 224x on site and unlimited LS1 Edit. It is $450 for the full tune includes idle tune, trans tune, part throttle ltrim tune, ses code removal, custom timing map and wide open throttle air fuel tuning.

I'm with this guy. A user on this board named GrannySShifting does a lot of tuning for the MD/VA area. PM him and he can hook you up.
