Default Recommend a good tuner........

I need a good tuner that knows what is going on. Need it to be in person, no more mail order, and on a dyno. Who do you guys recommend. I live in Central Iowa but willing to drive. Personal experiences welcomed.

Mike at Straightline Performance (sponsor) He tuned my T/A... my cam wasn't that easy to tune for some reason.. He took his time and worked with me 100% of the way and never got tired of me

Mike Norris is excellent. He's done a lot of work for me and is meticulous.

Another vote for Straightline, never had an issue with them in the last 5 years I've been going there and I can't wait to get my new setup on their dyno soon.

What about Fast Motorsports in Chicago? He has a really good following on the TBSS owners forum. Anyone have any experiences with his tunes?
