Question Looking for LT1 Dyno Tuner...

Ive heard that G-force doesnt tune LT1s anymore, so now i need to ask who is the best LT1 tuner in the houston area? I might be willing to travel a little bit depending on how far and the tuners cost, but just looking for opinions now. Also i would like to say that i dont want someone who has been thinkin about stopping tuning LT1's because i dont want to spend all this money now and then when i build a motor next year have to spend another $500 or whatever it may be vs say 100-150 for a retune. Anybody had any experiences with Bryan Pavlock's (Pavlock Perfomance) work?

just went through this with my buddies car. LMR can do it but you have to have the program yourself. They don't have it. We ended up going through HPE, and I believe that they are or were running a special on lt1s

I do not remember the guys name, he was kind of a big guy with glasses. Rolled up in a vette with 4xx ci, and has a formula with a 4xx lsx motor in it

Call Gary from HPE as I believe he has Owen do his tunes as well. Chuck can do LT-1's still but he is not with HPE anymore. Also, Bryan at Pavlock does them as well (told me the other day), call one of the three. My car is with Bryan right now getting the cam installed so not sure how backed up he is?

g-force lost all my business. i had my car tuned by them, that really sucks because now i have to pay for the initial tune from some place else just to get my car re-tuned when i change parts. That is not good to offer discounted re-tunes then stop doing them. I am really pissed off.

I have Mo's number. If you need it PM me. I plan on getting him to do my next tune. I am very pleased with my Trifecta tune but I am spraying more now and want to put some bigger injectors in it and I believe I can get some more out of it via a street/dyno tune.
