Default Lead me to the best Tuner in the Area

Im located near Wichita, Ks and I'm looking for a Dyno/Tuner for my 02 Silverado.
Mods:
370
4L80e
80mm Turbo
102mm TB
Fic 1650
Electric Fans
Aero 5.0GPM VSP
P59 computer

Basically nothing stock. I'm looking for someone that knows how to tune all the not so fun parts about a performance vehicle, like idle and cruising drivability first and then get to fun part with torque and power. Truck will be ran on Speed Density, no MAF. Currently I have the truck running and its drivable but lacks in many areas and isn't safe for boost. Its already setup for E but no tuning done. I'm not so concerned on price because their amount of time with experience to tune it, is far different than the amount of time it takes me to half *** it.

So far I've talked to 2 different shops locally. I've heard so so reviews on both shops. Im not to far from Oklahoma or the other direction which would lead me towards Kansas City. Hoping someone in here has had experience with shops here around Wichita and then further out.

Thanks

Pat G.
Makes it really easy by going back and forth and covers all the bases of idle, slow speed driveability and WOT provided you don't mind making hits on the street.
He tuned my last car, an SBE LS1 that made 700+whp for years before selling the car so he knows his stuff.

If you’re traveling down I-35 I’m not far off. If you think you might have a few minutes by all means hit me up. I don’t expect a a tune but would rather get a good run down of what areas I should be focused on and ones that aren’t necessarily the most important. My biggest areas at the moment are idle quality and the iac counts.

Not to hijack, but this would a great sticky for different regions.

Anyone know a very reputable tuner in the Birmingham / Huntsville, AL area?

Thanks, John.
Holley Terminator X max. Boosted 5.3 on e85, Billet Gen 2.5 7875, Wilkes 799s, TBSS / 92mm and a 228/230 112+4 camshaft. Probably going to throw some boost at it, but not twist it over 6600.

Im from the Derby area. Get ahold of Chris at wichita dyno on west pawnee st. He's pretty knowledgeable. Done some pretty quick cars. Small tire shootouts, x275. Various things.
He has a hub dyno.
