Default Any Nor-cal Tuners?? Help!!!

Hi everyone, I live in the sacramento area and need some serious help dyno tuning my car. I just put together a 422 CI, TEA AFR heads, Futral 253/257 cam, and LSX 90 mm intake + TB. My car barely runs!!! Does anyone know of a really good dyno shop or tuners in my area? Thanks for all help!!!

Nick Newton in Hayward.
I'd recommend him also. I have his number if you want it, don't want to post it since it's not mine. Email me at tranzam777@aol.com

I used FFP for my car. He's good, but unless your dropping the car off make sure he schedules you first for the day, he gets side tracked real easy. Also, he does lock the PCM to his computer so keep that in mind. I found out the hard way when I moved farther away and tried to have my car re-tuned with the new motor. I had to pay $90 for a dealer to reflash the comp back to stock so it could be tuned. I was pissed!! He didn't tell me that he did this when he tuned it.
