Default Locating a REPUTABLE tuner...

I live in North Alabama (Huntsville), and am wondering who the nearest, best tuner is?

Post this in the Regional Section that corresponds with your location. ... Your local members should be of more use with a topic that really depends on where you live.

I am in Huntsville. I do my own tuning with HPTuners, and I am just finishing up with a cam swap and tune on a friend's '98 Corvette. I could probably help you out depending what all you are looking to accomplish.

Local tuners are:
Gomer, aka Scott: will do street tunes or meet you at a dyno in Trussville
Lane Culver (Lacey's Spring): has a chassis dyno at his shop

Yea I've met Lane before at the track in his white (rx7 I think?) car and Ive got his card on my toolbox, I've heard good things. I think I mightve seen you before man? I remember talking to a gentleman in a red Vette at the Citgo in Hazel Green a few months ago that was looking through data on his laptop in the parking lot.

Would you guys think it would be worth getting it tuned with only a Cold Air Inductions CAI, longtubes, muffler delete and a stall? Or wait until I go into the engine (cam)?

I'm not sure about the gentleman part, but yea that was me in the Corvette. You are correct that Lane is the one with the LS powered white RX7.

I do think you would see improvements in power and drive-ability after tuning with the bolt-ons that you mentioned. You are flowing more air now so it's time to adjust your VE and MAF tables accordingly. I imagine your MIL is on if you removed the rear O2 sensors?

Good luck with your build. Maybe I'll catch you at the dragstrip sometime.

No, no, no I worded that wrong. The only thing done is the mufflers are gone and the CAI the LTs and stall are to come. I was just wondering if after I throw the stall in and LTs on if I should get her tuned.
