RWTD (James) is an awesome tuner. He has tuned 6 cars/trucks for me. The only problem is that he is 2 1/2 hours from me and Futral is 40 minutes. I guess I will have to take a day off of work and go to RWTD

Definitely the best answer I have seen. The best way to contact Futral is to PM John over here on Ls1tech. His screen name is john@fms. Here is his profile. https://ls1tech.com/forums/member.php?u=21909

Paul @ Southern Speed does all my work. Unfortunately he does not tune and uses Thunder for that. You might call him and see if he can get you in sooner.

i have used allan for lots of stuff. send every customer i have that want major LTx/LSx builds to him. not one has ever come back to me with a complaint. most of them come back praising the shop for taking care of them.

i also know paul and hayden @ southern speed too. they'll definately take care of you as well.

Steve "formerly of shreves" wouldn't lube the chain on my bike much less get even a thought in my head of EVER tuning something for me again. He's blown up more **** than the taliban.

I CAN BELIEVE IT!!!!… LOL

My friend went to SHREVE'S and his car always use to surge and cut off all the time!!. well he went to FUTRAL 3weeks ago and it sound like a brand new car!!!!.. But when comparing the before and after sounds of my friends car, SHREVE'S is very crappy!!! It’s like a BUYER BEWARE type of thing when you go there!!!

You better be careful with the Pro Racer Package are you will be like Steve ! Steve blew the computer on my lightning truck and tried to say the contacts were not cleaned right from the previous tune. SCT cleaned the contacts when they were using my truck for training. You live and learn !
