Rob Barf 
of Strictly Performance is an absolute moron who doesn't know his *** from a hole in the ground when it comes to tuning an LS1.
A word of advice, avoid Strictly "F'd up" Performance.

So I ended limping my car home, to San Diego, in worst condition that when I left. I called him when I got home about "what's the deal" and he tells me somethings wrong with his software. A week later I call him back and he tells me nothing is wrong with his software. By the way, he never offers to re-tune on his dime nor even offers to reduce the price from $700.00. That just shows how crappy of a business man he is. He took no ownership of correcting the problem or at least defining the problem. This is my reason to alway's NOT promote and warn others of strictly (f***'d) performance.

I can tune your car for 50 bucks if you can get a hp cable from someone. My buddy does a lot of work at his house if your interested. We done a ton of work on our cars and others on the board if you want references. I agree that sp can't tune, and niether can lapd after they screwed their tunner and he went to a&a corvette.
