E-Mail tune for me. Maybe you can find a local guy to go to the dyno with you if thats what you are looking for but LT1 tunners are getting harder to find at shops. Maybe someone local at one of the local tracks can point you to someone as well.

He's hands done one of the best tuners down here in my opinion. He's tuned a LOT of my friends cars and I have yet to hear the first complaint about his tunes. Next choice would be john weeks at xxx in Pensacola but it may be hard to get up with him and I'm not sure he tune lt1s.

MadZ28 (madtuner.com) did my mail order tune on my AI 385 and it was pretty good for being a mail order tune and having as much done to my car as I do. Of course a dyno tune will get you more hp but for the money I was very pleased with my mail order tune.

I used PCMforless on my 97 camaro and Ion Madz28 (madtuner.com) on my 95 TA, both seemed to be good tunes. It is hard to beat the price Ion offers and i had my tune in just a couple days.
