Sean Burt (formerly LGM) @ True Street in McKinney has tuned my LSX cars for 9 yrs now.
I wouldn't take my cars to anyone else.

The PCM was locked in the car we bought. Some Tuners say it is so they can warranty there work. The problem with that is, there is really no such thing as a warranty in the box rod business. My dad's car has duty cycle issues because the injectors are stock. Until I either send the PCM back to Nelson or pay him to retune the car, we are stuck with a half *** running car. Some Tuners act like they will run out of business if others learn the process. The truth of the matter is, a dyno is needed to get it just right and those are few and far between. I tune and still take my cars to Pat when it is time to get the tune spot on and see some HP numbers.

Shawn at Lethal Performance. They have some of the fastest LSX vehicles in the state that are true street cars. Big Red, Nightmare, Evil TT, Whytedevil just to name a few.
