Default Need TPI tuning/mechanic in the Houston area

I have a 91 Camaro that needs tuning bad!! But I've been having a hard time finding someone that has any knowledge on tuning TPI. Car has been slightly modified and i can't seem to get the air/ratio right on it. Don't know anything about tuning so anyone that could point me to the right mechanic would be greatly appreciated.

The problem is going to be finding someone that still cares to tune TPI stuff and still has a burner. If it doesn't work out for you, you could always convert with a kit from Fuel Injection Connection. It isn't cheap but with a car that nice, it would be worth it if you plan to keep it.

LT4 hot cam
vortec heads
slp runners
24 Lbs. injectors
LT headers
msd box

All work was done by previous owner. Car runs extremely rich, I was thinking the previous owner may have been running Nos but can't say for sure. Just really need a good TPI guy but it seems with this new LS technology everyone's advice is LS swap it.

You don't have to LS swap it there is a kit that allows you to swap the ECM to LS and run your current engine combo. I'll post a link.

Try Two Brothers Automotive in Clear Lake. They still tune LT1's and chips, so they might be able to help.
