You might want to check out this site as there's more of a Washington base crowd in there. http://lsxnation.net/

Wong's Performance is in Washington, but it's a bit of a drive from where you are located. Oh, welcome to the NW!

Thanks for the feedback! They both charge the same for the tune so I think I'm going to make the trek down to Wong's. I'm just finishing up a head, cam (tsp stg 2.5 ls6 heads & torquer V3, looks like same setup that you have salvage!), long tubes and lightened flywheel install so I'm going to need a tune bad!

Carb Connection claims to specialize in or at least tune a lot of Corvettes, but I've never heard any feedback from anyone that actually tried them. I've heard Wong is an LS master.
