I wouldn't go to that guy. I met a guy who had a h/c/e 408 that was tuned by that place and the power output seemed pretty low for what that engine shoulda been puttin down.

Downsouth, where in West Columbia do you go? The shop that I use is also in that area, but if there is one that specializes in these motors that would be awesome. Don't get me wrong, the shop I use is great, but they are more for mustangs than ls cars.

If you don't want to go all the way to lexington, you can drive about 35-40 minutes to greenville to JRracing. one of the best tuners in SC in my opinion. They tuned mine and a lot of other cars in our local scene.

check out: www.V8muscle.net to see some of their work and prices.
