Good tuner in DFW

I am looking for a good tuner in DFW for my truck. I want speed density, and dont want some one learning on my truck. I want someone who knows what they are doing. Anyone used any of the shops around here?

I need someone who has experience doing speed density for F.I. Most of the shops I have contacted locally dont do alot of speed density.

The truck has a forged 370, 72mm front mount turbo, Meth, Nitrous, 4L80E swap, 9.5 14 bolt rear.

for your application you can't really go wrong with any of the above mentioned....

get ahold of all 4 and go with which ever one makes you feel most comfortable....

I'm not going to divulge anymore information than what I already said. There are much better tuners in the dfw area. My vote goes to Simple Quick Racing.

Sam tuned mine 2 weeks ago and i am so pleased with his tune i am going to ask him to tune my 414 when its done. I went to Quality in lewisville and they did a less than **** poor job!! Sam spent more time getting the idle right than they did with the whole damn tune.
