Places in VA
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.

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

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.
i gotta say steve at LSXtune.com thats who tuned my car and couldnt be any happier with it runs great and if yea have any problems with the tune just call him back and he'll take care of yea.
You need mor info ya sue a mail order tune would be ok but you can never do better than actually getting tuned on a dyno. Ed at HP Factory is the **** but it also depends were in VA you are at.
i agree steve tuned my car and it drives great plus he is very helpful and will go out of his way to work with you
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!
