Default Diesel tuning in Mass

A friend of mine has a 06 F350. He is telling me that its really sluggish off the line. He doesnt have any mods on it at all (I tell him its because its a FORD) Is there any deisel tuners in Mass that he can take it to, get it tuned a bit? He lives in Uxbridge. He is not looking to spend a ton obviously since there is no mods on it. Thanks for any info.
