Default LA based LS1 tuners?

I'm looking at the purchase of an LS1 powered kitcar which needs a tune (LS1 with LS6 heads, intake manifold and a "hot cam"). Who do you guys recommend in the LA area, preferably in the San Fernando valley that can dyno this thing and has the required software?

When you say "they", do you mean both shops? Is Haddad's current tuner as good as George? And SP doesn't even have a shop now so how they be doing tuning? I've read good things about you and George and I've seen Charlie in action. The three of you seem to cover different parts of the So Cal area so it probably depends where the person lives as to which shop to pick.

RPM in santa clarita is your best bet for tuning in your area.
go up there and talk to charlie...the shop speaks for itself.

i dont know if haddad's current tuner is good, i have heard good things, but that is all........ i see alot of jacked up tunes..... but i dont know who tuned them, so technically i cant say bad things about any tuner
