Default ls1 tuning houston area before TX2k15

I have been looking to tune my swap car for a while now and called around the shops I've read about on here.
G-force does not tune Ls1's anymore, and I have read on here that D3 is backed up for a while on tuning.

How do you guys usually deal with working 9 to 5 and getting a car tuned if all the shops here in Houston are closed on the weekends?
I wouldn't really want to just drop off my car, I kinda want to see if they actually spend the time on it.

I have a Frost tune on the car but since it has a cam (sns stage 3) and 799 heads, I would like to get it tuned properly, any recommendation?

I know about Patrick G but he's 3 hours away from north Houston...

Also I'm kind of curious when you say G force doesn't tune LS1's? what do you mean? do you have a 98 or something?

We are a couple hours from Houston in College Station and tune on Saturdays but they are usually the first dates to be booked. We usually have 2 cars booked every saturday a couple months out. Sometimes we do get cancellations or will do a 3rd car depending on what all we are tuning that day.

f that. do it yourself after HEAVY HEAVY research of a GM factory service manual on how to install a cam properly. save a bunch of money and learn something along the way.

$6500!! I would sell you a whole damn car with a cam and headers and lot of other **** for that. LOL
OP, It sounds like LSX Powertuning may be the way to go for you.

You should really reconsider Pat G, him and Kurt are some very stand up guys.

If your car has an issue on the dyno then they will bust out some tools and help you figure it out whereas most shops won't even touch the car without discussing huge hourly rates.
