Default Atlanta LT1 Tuning, where to go???

I bought my Camaro from onebad636 last month and want to get it Dyno tuned. Went to Vengeance today for a quote on installing 9", torque arm, and driveshaft but they said they don't tune LT1s. So, the only other shops that I've heard of around here are

Spartan Perf
Atlanta Performance and Fabrication
Red Star Performance (Oxford Ga)

If any of these have worked on your car (especially if it was an LT1) let me know your opinion.

Be sure to check on 93 specific tuning also. Some shops that say they "tune LT1s" will still not be able to do 93s because that year is different than all the others.

APF (Atlanta Performance & Fabrication) can do both. I talked to Will about it & he said they can tune the 93s & the 94-97s.

It has the 94/95 PCM conversion with a tuning cable so I could get the software and learn how to do myself. I think I'd rather have a tuner do it all at once though. Does APF have username on this board?

Stay away from ATLPF for tuning....

I'm sure there are better options.

If you want info on my personal experience with them and tuning my LS1 just send me a PM....

Atlanta Chassis Dyno can tune the car for you.
When I lived there they were the only folks I would have do performance work.
Lots of real world experience and they won't screw you on $$.

Thanks for all the input. I'll give some of the other guys a call and see what they can do for me.
Spartan doesn't tune LT1s either.

I am sure you would be happy using Atlanta Performance and Fabrication. They are knowledgeable and very reasonable on price. You can see the quality of work they do by looking at my build in the forced induction section. Good Luck!!
