Default Tuning in AZ?

Who does a good dyno tune in AZ? I got a quote from AZPower for around $400, but that sounds high. Any good recommendations?

Does that dyno time include the LS1 edit tuning? Have you had any experience with these guys?

NicD is the best in AZ for tuneing LS1's. Tell him what u want and if its possible he will make it happen. He is really busy, so be patient if u want it done right.

Nic is ok if you like having your car running perfect and no worries , if you don't like that go with someone else

He has tuned my 402, my old motor 3 times, my wife's TA, and about everyone I know with a F-body

Wow odd that I never heard of him before, especially with all this positive feedback. Looks like I will get a tune from him.
