Default What tuner to go with?

I need to know who in your opinion is the best tuner shop in Texas, I dont want to know where to find one I want to know who does the best work, Because i went to a local shop today and I know its no big deal and does not cause problems but i took off my A I R system and I want my SES light to stay off, I asked the guy in the shop how much they would charge me to delete the air system codes and they wanted to charge me $150 bucks so I will wait till im done modding and get it all done at the same time, but in the mean time who in Texas does the best work.

Right I've looked into those places what I'm looking for is a testament of some type, from someone that has had a good or bad experience with tuners in this state, dont feel like trailering a car 4 hrs to someone and they forget to delete a code or some junk like this.

In our area: http://www.pt-motorsports.com/ These guys are in Belton and are sponsors here. Stay away from any self proclaimed tuners in Killeen. Trust me on that! Lost in the sauce comes to mind. Call me or PM me for details.

Look to the right at the sponsors --->

All very reputable, try a search to read up. This subject has been beaten to death and turns into a sponsor bash thread. So this goes into lockdown mode!

Peace,
