Carolina Auto Masters (CAM) in Durham NC. Jeff Creech has a lot of customers from your area and has a Dynojet with some good tuning skills.

Yeah, maybe it would be smart to open one up in middle va since there isnt crap around here. two states to get a good dyno and tune is crazy.

Try AED at 804-271-6076. I have NO experience with them, but I think they have tuned some LT1/LS1 cars. I plan on taking my Impala there soon. I have also heard of a shop called Creedle Automotive. Their number is 434-447-1775.

I have no experience with either of these shops. I think they are both located in South Hill, VA. Jeff Creech at Carolina Auto Masters is supposedly the best from what I understand. R.P.M in Garner, NC is good too.

Brian Creedle has my stroked SS now tuning it. He is a great guy, but very busy. I live in Chesterfield a it's a good haul to South Hill to Creedles shop.

You might try getting in touch with a member on www.fbodycentral.com named GrannySShifting. Not sure if he still does tuning, but he might be going strong, not sure. Spoke with him a few times, seemed like a smart guy. He is in MD I believe, but it might still be closer and quicker for you to try some one up that way. More options that way I believe.

Good Luck,
Steve
