Default Tuning in Nashville??????

Anyone have any opinions on the best place to have my car tuned around Nashville? Just put on headers/ ORY, and will have an LS6 intake before the tune. Also how much should I expect to pay? I was told that I would be better off getting a predator, and having it tuned on the dyno with that, vs. paying for the use of hp tuner software. OPINIONS??????

Not really anyone around here to do a tune. Most guys go out of state.

Well, I did some research today, and found out from some buddys that theres a place in Smyrna called the performance garage. Gonna try them first, also theres supposed to be a place in KY called Total Engine Airflow. Might try them as well.

TEA moved to Ohio a year and a half ago.

Performance Garage does some work, but their a/f isn't logged, they just look at a gauge while you're doing your pull.

Just about everybody with a GM product around here goes to Gomer in AL.

There is a shop between Lebanon and Murfreesboro, Delks, that does mostly Mustangs, but they do some LS1 stuff too.
