Icon does great stuff and there is also Chuck (just call HPE) or Gary from Pavloc. Lot's of choices.
Now if your LT-1 it's pretty much Icon and Chuck that's about it. Seems everyone works on LS these days and most have dropped LT-1 tuning.

Are you looking for a great tuner or the best tuner in Houston? There is a difference.

Or how many of these threads get locked because non sponsor info gets out. Try one of the sponsors. Just saying it before a mod does.

Yes I know, but Gary can put him in touch with him, last time I checked. Just had Chuck do a tune for me a few weeks back and we did it at HPE.

Xhibit doesn't tune LSXs anymore. He switched to Fords. Just the facts man.
