Default Best Nitrous LS1 Tuners In Dallas or Houston Area?

I'm heading down to Tx2k15 this year from Wisconsin and taking my '04 GTO down....Over the Winter I installed a Nitrous Outlet Wet Plate kit and I want to jet it for around 175hp. Car was currently tuned through HPTuners for it's NA setup and made 423whp on 93 pump on a Dynojet.

It has:
Stock Bottom End
PRC Stage 2.5 LS6 Heads
TSP V2 Cam
Stock Intake Manifold/TB
DW65c Fuel Pump
Stock Injectors (Do have 42/lb I could toss in if necessary)
HPTuners
K&N Intake
Kook's Headers/Off Road Pipes
SLP LM2 Exhaust
Monster Stage 3 Clutch/Flywheel

So what I would like to do is drive the car down there from WI and get there a day early and have a tuner in either Dallas or Houston do the nitrous tune for me. So I'd like some suggestions on who to contact and book an appointment with.

I'd like to possibly add a Lingenfelter LNC-2000 because Id prefer car to have full timing NA and then pull the timing when the nitrous gets armed...Also need to know what plugs to bring down and gap recommendations. I'll most likely run a small mix of C16 in the tank just to give it that extra cushion....good idea correct?

You'll probably get more responses in the regional section under "Texas Members", so I will move this thread there.

James Karger at SNL will be tuning my cam only + 150 shot ls1. I have heard great things about him, first time to use him though so i cant give a personal experience.

I'd give you my opinion on who to use in Houston, but I seriously doubt they have time. Not the week of TX2K. Shops are slammed.

I'd look at a tuner in Dallas or somewhere on the way down.

Yea I figured in Houston would be insane right before tx2k....Im excited to have SNL tune mine in Dallas because I've read a ton of great things. I will post back some feedback once it's tuned and we can have some fun.
