Default Tuning in or around SC?

Hey guys, we're almost done with the project, and as such I'm gonna need a tune. The only two guys I know of are Hawk's over in Spartanburg and Vengeance over in GA. Are there any other tuners located around the Anderson/Greenville area? I can head up into NC or over into GA if need be. What are your experiences with the tuners around in those parts? Just trying to get a lay of the land.

The Carolinas are filled with tuners - you are in luck.

IMO the best with the LSx/LTx series is Alvin Anderson of PCMForLess. We share our building with him and he tunes every single one of our projects. He's always consistent with SAFE tunes that make BIG power and drive as good as possible. Can't beat that with a stick.

He doesn't list dyno tuning rates on his website, just the flash rates, or atleast I didn't see them.

Also I didn't see any indication of him tuning large shot nitrous cars and only a handfull of forced induction cars. I need someone to recommend plugs, actually pull the plugs after every run, etc. An absolute full all day kind of tune...

(704)-307-4227 - Give him a buzz - his site focuses mainly on stockish Trailblazers, Colorados, S10s - just the money makers. He does all kinds of insane setups as well, big shots, lots of FI/meth combos - we throw everything at him.

Give him a call - he's extremely experienced with hardcore setups, as well.
