To the OP, try whoever you feel comfortable with.
How fast is the car?

Nope your post count tells me you haven't been around long enough to know any better. Some of us have been around along time and know where to go and where not to go, we've already posted the good places and Shaner isn't one of them and yes I have experience with him but with tuning.

My car is no where near stock. Ed Wright tuned it in one day, and the idle and driveability are as good as stock. Almost everyone he tunes has the same experience as me. Ask around. I didn't mean to imply Sam88Gta1 is not a good tuner. I don't know him. Maybe he is great, but the idea that the car can't be tuned properly in 1 day is rediculous. I just know what I and others have got for our money from Ed Wright. I have several friends that had their car tuned in DFW and Houston at different big name shops that did them in a day or less, so there are plenty that don't take 2-3 days. Most of these ended up going to Ed after the driveability was dissapointing to say the least.

I hope you don't judge me on my post count. This username has not been registered that long and I don't post a lot, but I've ben here since the beginning. Switched over from the old LS1.com when Nineball started this one.

I didnt take it that way at all.
Ed has the experience to complete it in one day. Sometimes I only need one day other times I take a whole week.

Sam88Gta1 did a great job on my best friend Dustins car last week and it runs like a bat out of hell. He did a great job. Wouldnt hesitate to let him tune my car.

Your post count does not mean anything you can post a million times in the texas section for 5 years and they dont count. Ive had my car tuned by a local shop in lewisville and it ran like **** and they told me my brand new motor had 20% leak down had it for three days dident fix anything and left me with a big bill so i took my car to mark and it runs perfect

I walked into SQR thursday ordered my cam and lifters and picked em up Friday at 4pm. Hows that for turn around. There basic turn around is 1.5 days for a tune, cause they want to do a cold start and run on the car the day after the tune. Im taking my car there next month after I get my new clutch.
