Default St.Louis area tuner/builder

I am looking for a good builder and tuner in the St.Louis area. I would like them to use HPT, but may be open on that. I need someone who has a dyno, not just a weekend warrior. Please give me your opinions, and the contact info to the tuner. I have already had a tune done, but not happy with it. I also have a few issues I need worked out on it.

For a build your definitely going to want to go with Chad at CBI Street Cars. 3149529883.

There are a lot of options for a tune in the area. Most everyone uses HPT. Performance by Joe, Dsx, Fap. There is a long list of people who do lsx tunes. You should check out STLSR.

Chad at CBI is great to work with. He makes sure things are right, and if there are problems, he is quick to get them taken care of. I would recommend him to anybody.
