Default LT1 Tuning / Dyno Tuning Help!!!

Hello! I am look for suggestions on a good reputable tuner for the LT1 platform in the Kansas City area or elsewhere if they are good I am willing to go there. I have called multiple places with no luck or they do not feel comfortable. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated! My setup and modifications are below.

1996 Camaro SS, Built 383 (LT4 conversion), Built T56 (Texas Speed & Performance), 70 mm Turbo setup (Just added). The engine and transmission are from a 1994 car so it is OBD1 in an OBD2 car.

255 Walbro with Kenne Bell boost a pump
Siemens Deka 60 lbs injectors (long Style)

There is NO ONE in the KC area or pretty much ANYWHERE that does dyno-tuning on the​​​ 2nd gen LT1 equipped with the Opti-Spark. Your only options are to either go with a mail-order tune or dump the Opti-Spark and go with a 24x coil on plug setup. The latter is what I chose to do. I HIGHLY recommend going with the TORQHEAD system. Here's my current setup:

If or when you do go with a 24x coil on plug type of setup, I recommend getting your car dyno-tuned at the 'HOUSE OF BOOST' which is located in Kansas City.
