i would look into them also. i hear allan nelson can tune pretty damn good. i called one time to ask about tuning, and they told me allan actually rides along with you in the car and tunes so you have perfect drivability..not just slap your car on the dyno, and do 3 runs and call it good.

No personal experience, but i did see Alan(assumming) road tuning a GTO out on Roosevelt/281. I believe it was silver, running a turbo. They were doing some nice pulls and that car sounded great!

Somebody hi jacked the thread.

To the OP: I hear they do great work. He likes to mess around with turbos. I saw the yellow stepside GMC they worked on with a turbo run in the 10's.
