Need a Houston tuner

Hey fellas, looking for someone to tune my car. Just finished ls swap on a El Camino and am just looking to get it fine tuned. It's not cammed or anything. Just stock 5.3, I just want it to be reliable as possible, so who do yall recommend in the Houston area? Thanks

If fueling corrections aren't huge, I would just turn off torque management, turn off power enrinchement delay, set your sift points a tad higher. What you have is a perfect learning tool for basic tuning. (Because it is a stock 5.3) It shouldn't cost you more than about $250-300 for a good street tune.

What are you using to control it?

If its a stock motor with any sort of OEM PCM then a mail order will be fine.
