Default Opinions on a retune?

Sup guys, been in and out of here for years, have my Z (Julz) back on the road again and enjoying it after contemplating selling it. Na, not gonna happen now, lol! So back when I built the engine in '07 I had a PCM4Less tune done. Nobody in my area will even touch a LT1 For Dyno tuning. Do any of you guys think there's someone out there today that could retune the car if I send in the PCM? Never hurts to update if possible. Since the tune the only change I really made has been a slightly different arrangement on the true duals and LS1 Lid conversion. I'd love to do the PCM conversion from TH but tht cash isn't here right now. Thanks guys.

While PCM4Less is...well often crap, if your car is running fine than just keep it given you don't have any different mods that would affect it.

I hear Moe Baily (Moehorsepower) is still doing LT1 tunes

Moe, I've heard your name too many times and too much good about you. Honestly, the car does run fine but I still feel like it could be tweaked. Right now in the hot weather my nice choppy idle has gone from choppity choppity to chunk kachunk and it just doesn't sound like itself. It sounds right on initial fire up but as soon as the loop changes so does idle quality. Otherwise as I stated in the initial post I have changed to the LS1 Lid conversion and noticed a incredible gain in high RPM pull. It's a tune done in 07 so maybe a tweak would do it good. I'll probably contact you. Thank you all.
