Default Northern Virginia tuner needed

Is there anyone in the northern VA DC or southern MD area with HP tuners or EFI live that is willing to do a parking lot style tune for me? I have an 81 C10 with a 2005 LS2/4L65e GTO set up in it. I think it needs the torque management pulled out of it. I can't brake stand the truck or take off quickly to save it's life and when it shifts most of the time it falls on it's face for a few seconds. I'm sure it's all in the tuning of the DBW stuff (first time owning one of these) but I'll leave that to the experts.

Please help...lol. Thanks. Alex.

If you are willing to travel 1 hour to Southern Maryland you can set up an appointment with site vendor Maryland Speed. I think they use remote tuning from Andrew at Complete Speed in PA but I could be wrong. The people at MD Speed are nice to talk to

Or Google "LS1 tuning in Richmond, VA" and you'll come up with a former site sponsor that has pretty good feedback.

I think Ed Hutchens is in that area. I think that is the correct spelling of his name. He is on this forum and is an excellant tuner

Thanks for the replies fellas. I found a guy today at a place called Tony's Corvettes in Gaithesburg MD called Keith. Cool guy, but we couldn't figure out the problem.

With the truck in gear, you can't brake stand on it over 1200 RPM. If you mat it from a stop it will slowly take off and shift but fall on it's face after the shift then pick up again.

The issue with the place I went today was their tuning area and software is hardwired to the building and not on a lap top so no data logging unless I paid the full 450 and strapped it to the dyno.

Is there anyone close by who can help me data log this thing so I can see what's going wrong with it? Thanks in advance. Alex.

Hi there! I know this is an old post but do you know of any good LS tuners in the DMV?
