There's a self-employeed tuner who works out of his garage in Warrenton. He's one of the best tuners I've had the pleasure to work with. If he worked out of a cave... I'd still go to him and recommend him to anyone interested. He's school trained and both he and his girlfriend have F-Bodies.
Check out http://www.f-bodyhideout.com/forums/forum.php (that's one of the primary VA/MD F-Body forums)
You'll find many very pleased customers with John's work and his price (his nick is "Khaotic"). He'll dyno & highway tune your car 'til both of you are happy with it. In my experience, he started at 8am and worked on it 'til 5pm. He started off on the dyno and worked 'til around lunch. After that, we took it out on the road and he tweaked it some more. He finished up with it back on the dyno and ran six pulls. After reading all the other reviews of his work, I'd have to say that's basically what he does with anyone if you're seeing him for an initial tune. Let's just say, he's not one of those "you get three pulls and you get what you get" kind of tuners.
You will not be disappointed.
Good luck,
Marc

In addition to those listed LSXtune in Richmond as well. I am having a hard time deciding where to go once I get all my parts together. I have spoke will all of them excluding Khaotic and they ALL have been more then helpful! Good luck and keep us updated.

Like nytmare1 said, he is damn good! He put my new axles on, and replaced my pinion and installed my new gears and tuned it. Very impressed with his work, and how much he cares. I was so impressed with his work that I even show his buisness on my FQuick, to say thanks.

Another vote for John at Khaotic. My 226 cam drives like stock. He'll definately take the time to make you happy with the car. He'll tell you to drive the car a bit and get back with him with any quirks and he'll fix those too. My car is so smooth my wife didn't notice a 226 cam and 3000 stall converter were installed!
