Default Dyno Tuning in NC???

Can anybody tell me anybody reptuable in the NC area who does dyno tunes that specialize in tuning a LS1. Somebody recomended someone to me, but upon further investigation, found out that they specialize in Fords.

If anybody knows of someone, can you also advise what they charge.

Well, I am in the Salisbury, NC area, but I am not above a drive to get this done. With the amount of $ I am about to sink in this, I want the best of everything.

Well, I don't want to start any flame wars of this tuner is better than that tuner. Don't want to hurt anyone's business. If anyone is considering using them and want's to know then I'd like to keep it to private msgs. I'll tell you that I do prefer Lady Redhawk at HWT Performance over anyone else.

one of the guys from PCM4Less lives in Charlotte and he is very good
he did my Turbo car and I have been very happy with it
and I have never heard anything bad about Lady Redhawk
but not so for other local tuners
