Default Lt-1 Tuning In Connecticut?

I've been away with old muscle but back with another 4th gen.
95 LT-1 with a ProCharger from down south.
Will need atmosphere and tire size edits done - where the heck is anyone that will help my car by the PCM?
I'm in the northwest corner at the Mass line.
Any leads appreciated.

I'm finding out nobody still does them, even a few years ago I bought Tunercat, Scanmaster, AKM cable and a laptop - but never got started before I sold the car. Wish I kep the tuning stuff
Slowhawk did heads/cam/ tune on my only LS-1 and then tuned it again at the track
I'll go to him next spring if need be - but it's 2.5 hours each way

all my research lead me to Tunercat with a scanning/logging program to base changes.
least exspensive, multiple vehicles allowed, deeper reading into the PCM and better/simpler tuning tables.
If I buy it - I'll just play cautiously with my exsisting tune, or email files to experienced guys for tips.
Don is so darn busy he won't miss my ugly mug
and the ride both ways on gas will be killer!

I'm hoping someone in CT already has tuning ability - but with a supercharged car I must be very careful.

Go to Jannetty's in waterbury, he is quite firmilar w/ the ODB1 pcms and did my car back when it had a h/c 383. Drove like a dream.

BUt with that said, you should always consider a sponsor but there are not that many local shops that do LT1 stuff.
