Default Can anyone recommend a good tuner in the Dallas, DFW area?

So, I have spent most of the morning searching these forums looking for a good tuner in Dallas, with no luck. The only posts I am finding are like a year or two old. I'm thinking if they are that old the good tuners may have left and went to work for other companies, or started their own business.

Can anyone recommend a good tuner in the Dallas area, that will take the time to drive the car and dial it in? I know that all the dyno tuners will through it on the dyno and do a WOT tune....and I want that, but I also want a tune that will let me drive the car around town.

Also, how much money am I looking at?

So far, I have had a mail order tune done on my computer. The car starts and runs strong, buy is idling rough (dies occasionally).

My build is below any guesses on the estimated RWHP????

So, SNL is the only guy in North Texas that is good? Any guesses on the cost of the tune? Or what the car will dyno at?

Thanks, Mark

If you don't mind the drive down to Austin, Blacker (Reckart Performance) does some good tuning.

Simple Quick, Speedtek, Sam (he is on here and will probaly pop up in this thread) and Shanner. And all these guys are in the DFW. They are the only people I would recommend period.
