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!

I've heard CabConn is not very good at tunning.

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.

Wong and Ellis are the only two I would let touch my car.

You can't go wrong with Tom Wong
